Comments on Plane Finder - Flight Tracker for Android
★★★★★Hailemichael Marye· Mar 9, 2026
I work at the airport and this intuitively designed app has been phenomenal not only in its ability to track flights but how it also has a plethora of features integrated such as the live info covered just in the notification bar. However, I do have some feedback to the developer(s). I would like to see the following features. - A "Clear" button for flights in the My flights section & auto delete after a certain amount of time - Better quality/graphics of the 3D satellite mode & flight tracking

This app is honestly probably the best app on the market.\excellent, excellent app. Thank you playing finder
★★★★☆Jayanth Gupta· Mar 1, 2026
The app is good, but it lacks some features which would be appreciated. It needs a better expanded gallery of different planes as, often, the picture for a certain plane doesn't show up. Also including pictures of an airport, adding weather, clouds, AFSRA/FIR demarcation. Ability to follow an aircraft properly in 3d mode with more realistic models. Furthermore, how about adding a widget to display the metar of a certain airport?
★★☆☆☆Chris Lindley· Jun 2, 2026
Great app but CRIPPLING ads! The tracker runs nice and smooth, pretty easy to navigate - at least on par with the best flight trackers I've used in the past. Where it all falls apart though is with the ads. Now I understand that ads are necessary to help pay for the development - got it. But these ads are FULL SCREEN with no way to minimize or skip / close. Pretty much when an ad pops up you have to close the app and re-launch it, and that just completely ruins the experience for me. App deleted

Can't say I'm impressed. Currently tells me my daughter's flight arrives in 10 minutes when in reality it hasn't taken off yet. So it's utterly wrong.
★☆☆☆☆Alan Finkle· Mar 11, 2026
I don't know what has happened to the customer support that at one time was outstanding. Over the last 8 days I've sent 2 emails stating that the "new 3D on certain models" doesn't even work. When I've tapped on various B777's and then 3D, all I get is the same poor original version. So far I've not even had an acknowledgement of my queries. Certainly won't be extending my 1-month Premium. Will stick with FR24 and AirNav.
