OpenADSB reviews
4.2 out of 5, based on 261 reviews.
What people like
- You pay once instead of a subscription
- It shows military flights others block
- The filters help you track specific planes
What they complain about
- It crashes frequently and freezes up
- All planes look like identical generic icons
- It often fails to show any aircraft
Best Unfiltered ADSB
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!
App crashes
Several times now I’ve had this app refuse to update, forcing me to delete and repurchase in the App Store. Apple refuses to offer a refund. An app that costs $11 should be expected to work properly and update when necessary without crashing.
Awesome app
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.
Please improve this
Show helicopters as helicopters and not as planes, because they’re not planes, I mean the coloured icon. I paid £9.99 for this app and flightrader is free and does this. Come on
Grundsätzlich gute App
Darstellung ist gut, mir fehlt allerdings die from-to Info. Anzeigefeld ist da aber stets ohne Daten. Zudem könnten die Einstellungen etwas übersichtlicher gestaltet werden.
Great native app
It works across the devices, have filters, that you can save.
No Aircraft showing
App seems to be not showing any aircraft for the last 6hrs, sent email to support but nothing any ideas of a fix? Removed and reinstalled app but still nothing
Why no search button???
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 .
How about some updates?
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?
Yea this doesn’t track everything
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
Part of my flight bag
As a pilot this comes in handy for many things, needless to say.
Stopped Working
I have used this App for years and really liked it but for some reason it had stopped working. Possibly an iOS update has affected it so please update the App to address the issue.
Good app with minor issues with selected altitudes.
This is a very good app. But lately I’m finding that most of the ‘selected altitudes’ are wrong. I see aircraft cruising at FL340 which have a selected altitude set to FL70, even though they won’t be descending for quite a few hours yet. When I consult plane Finder, I find that their selected altitudes are correct and do fit in with what should be the case. Not sure what’s going on here.
Not Worth the Price
I wish there was an easy way to test an app for 24 hours or so and then quickly and easily delete it and get a refund. I would have taken the refund within the first hour. This uses data from adsbexchange.com, which should have been my clue. You can simply go to that Web site and use it directly, which will most likely give you everything you want and need. This app has a few specialized features, and, truthfully, $9.99 isn't much money, so you can get it if you want. However, I just want to track a few planes that I know and the base Web site is simpler and quicker to get that data---a waste of my money.
Help!
I’ve not been able to see any aircraft. I have even looked at LHR and military sites. Must be something I’m doing wrong
Great App
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.
Bugs Bunny (UPDATE) 11-23-22
Latest version FREEZES and the only “fix” is to reboot my iPhone. Sometimes my iPhone (13 ProMax running iOS 16.1) is difficult to even turn off when this app LOCKS UP. I’m not having this problem with any other app on my iPhone.
Nice app, tracking single plane would be great
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.
Not good
I’m sorry to say but my map isn’t showing any planes on it at all no matter what I do, so I hope you can solve this problem because it is really irritating.
app functions differently
You can now no longer see the tracks of the aircraft properly, since history has been added at the bottom of the toolbar, the app no longer works as it used to.
Best $10 bucks ever paid
I hate subscription, this is just what I need. I’d love to see a 3D map version like Google Earth
April
This is not good app and wishing I hadn’t purchased. Every time I go into the map and move it , the app closes. I can’t get into settings . Waste of money. Stay with the flight tracker app!
Great app! A suggestion for that fifth star...
Happy to pay $10 for something that’s not bloated with lord knows what and does exactly what it is supposed to. And I appreciate the how configurable everything is. One thing I’ve noted is that other apps (FlightAware) or websites (ADSBExchange) use a variety of icons to represent the types of aircraft. This really helps with finding things at a glance. Is that something that could be added in the future? Or perhaps I’m missing a setting somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help!
Don’t recommend it
I bought the app because i wanted to see military, turns out not a great idea on spending $10 on it, i get to see military, but no pictures, it doesn’t show the name of airlines, it doesn’t show your current location, and all the aircraft look the same on the map, i cam from flightradar24, and now i’m going back
Stopped working
Getting a response is not json from a vrs source that used to work. I can pull the aircraft.json direct using Postman so I don’t think it’s a CORS issue.
Worth every penny!
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.
Total waste of money
Purchased this and all I have is a map of the world. Nothing else showing!
Better than website but missing a feature
This app is so much better than the tar1090 website, but the website has a leg up on the app. The icons on the website reflect that of the aircraft. A 747 on the site has the four engines. A c17 looks like a c17. Would be cool if the app did the same. But great product. Love it.
Hard interface
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!
Works, but not like the website
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.
Unmatched data on your phone
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.
Save your money
This app shows just a few military aircraft around the world, when another site shows so many military aircraft you can’t count them.. waste of money
So far it’s great!
Just wish it had a dark mode as I often use this most at night outside or in bed.
Disappointed
Don’t get me wrong it does everything it describes it will do, but for £6.99 I cannot see what it offers that free website ADS-B Exchange offers. Sorry for a negative Review.
Add correct icon for aircraft
Please add the correct icon for aircraft so helicopters are shown as such and planes are planes
The 10 dollars is worth it!
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!
Not worth the cost
It rarely shows military and never show small aircraft. Flightradar was just as good an free. I would not recommend this to others
Great App
Great useful application. The only thing I’d love if added were aircraft icons that resemble the type That was flying similar to Flightradar24
OpenADSB
Il costo di questa applicazione non vale l’utilità. Rispetto ad altre applicazioni gratuite tipo Flightradar24 ecc. mostra molti meno voli. Spero che l’applicazione venga rivista ed aggiornata.
Needs proper icons!
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.
Excellent app
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.
IOS 13.1.2
Just completed latest IOS update and App now shows a ‘Response is not JSON’. Now nothing!
Needs tweaking!
Yes it’s a good app, however, it would be so much better if ALL airline tracks displayed their call signs and flight number and route information as other apps do that use the same data sources, the info is there, it just needs to be displayed.
Broken
No longer works on both my iPad and iPhone. Needs to be fixed. Crashes when opening.
Suggestion!!
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
Problem
I have paid for the app but I can’t see any aircraft, I was just wondering what the problem could be?
Great adsb app - looking forward for updated features
as a adsb receiver feeder to a few of the popular aircraft tracker sites, it’s great to see all my data and others unblocked and viewable as it should be from airwaves. There are a few updates needed like added filters for operator name not just 3 letter codes... and more filters or combination of filters like browser version VRS supports. Great app, look forward to future enhancements
Frustrating
Frustrating, I turn on military, and everything dissapears. , does this setting only show military, or military and? Just a question
