Top Pcmac Reviews

Great ability to see a fleet or known tails

By Kyles609 (Pcmac user)

At first I was frustrated that I couldn’t see ADSB history however the ability to add filters with multiple tails turns this app into something nobody else offers that I know of. I can add 10 tails of friends, colleagues or company aircraft and I can just look at the entire country which includes my gps position and see where anyone else is if they’re airborne. I also like to see who is over my house when I’m at home and check for military aircraft maneuvering in my area. This is one of the few pay apps I buy each year and I’m glad I did.
Great for dump1090 users

By ExplodingLemur (Pcmac user)

I have a receive station set up at home with dump1090. Unfortunately the web interface is not very mobile-friendly. This app is excellent for checking on what's flying around me without pulling out a laptop.
Accurate, fast, easy

By Desert Loon (Pcmac user)

This application works extremely well and the information is only 2-3 seconds behind what you see above you. Easy to use and it works great. I highly recommend it.
Hard interface

By Lil peeeeeep (Pcmac user)

I got this app to track commercial and military planes. They all show up as different colors and I just want to be able to find out the age of the aircraft and the airline with out having to randomly pick a plane I do not recommend this app because of the hard to understand interface and it just looks cluttered and confusing Please fix this!
