OpenADSB App Reviews

I only care about MIL traffic and this by far is the cleanest app to track those. Prefer being able to track all MIL traffic instead of what FR24 currently does on their app which is only 1 service. As mentioned below, the one thing I’d love is different icons for the different planes. FR24 has that and it’s helpful.

I hate subscription, this is just what I need. I’d love to see a 3D map version like Google Earth

Just had an a-10 fly by my location by about 2k feet and it didn’t show up on radar. Got it on video, was the coolest 12 seconds of my life

For years, I’ve used different apps to track flights, but I think I’ve finally found the one that’s right for me. Overall, no lag and no issues. The one time pay is great, rather than a subscription. The ability to differentiate military aircraft vs civilian aircraft is great. My only recommendations would be to track full flights, and to have unique aircraft icons (similar to Flightradar24) for added variety purposes.

I know you can search an N number in settings but it sure would be nice to have a search button or magnifying glass icon on the main screen so we can search N number there. Maybe you can add that in an update for us. Thx .

As a pilot this comes in handy for many things, needless to say.

It works across the devices, have filters, that you can save.

You’re not going to find a better alternative to ADSB exchange than this right here. The only thing better would be using the ADSB Exchange website. Big shoutout to the developer. App works perfect and comes in at a very reasonable price!

I’m not a pilot, just love planes, this is easily the best app by far, I just wish they used silhouettes of planes like on ADSB exchange instead of 1 generic plane model, so you could get a relative ID by looking instead of having to click on every plane.

I’ve been using this for years as a corporate pilot and aviation tracker. I can see everything from military aircraft, Airforce One and random private flights that are blocked. The filters are a huge help because I can filter out a dozen or so flights to see if they’re airborne while I’m flying. Very powerful app with filters.

Spend the 10 dollars it’s worth it! I mainly use this app to get the registration of private or military aircraft that won’t show up anywhere else and it’s so simple quick and easy to use I love it!

I use this app to track planes I’m working on (aircraft mechanic) is there away you can set up a notification system when my tracked plane is within a certain distance from my location

Excellent app that’s fast. I really like the filter by tail feature. There are a few fleets I like to track. I do wish there was a way to see my filtered aircrafts last positions even if they haven’t been airborne for a few days.

Lots of customizable options and a stable and well designed app!

A nice upgrade from FR24, for most things at least. Love the ability to filter military flights, as well as see details on “blocked” flights that were censored on competitors. Only downside is the photos. The app only displays a single photo of the aircraft, and redirects to another app to expand it.

A Piper Cub, Bell Jet Ranger, and a B767 all look identical in this app ✈️. It REALLY needs individual icons so you know what you're looking at on the screen. Please implement this feature that so many reviewers request.

App works nicely. It would be great if there was an option to follow a single plane, with auto-panning maps and keeping it centered.

Icons for specific aircraft would be helpful, as well as the link to the aircrafts planespotter page. It’s nice to look in my area and see what type of aircraft are flying without having to tap on them.

I’m a military buff/photographer only w/a very rare civilian airline shots. This app is so easy to filter to military and find it a cleaner image on the screen. My only wish would be an addition to filter out certain aircraft like the BE-20 which fill the list often. I recommend this app to all my military photogs.

If someone pays you for an app, it's expected to be updated. It's been over two years and the app only gets stale over time. How about an update for paying customers?
