Plane Finder 3D App Reviews

33 add

An AMAZING CONCEPT with really good execution (5 stars as I have faith the execution will be GREAT)

Im astounded... I really should write more reviews, but havent in well over a year (plus) when in app begging started getting pervasive... I just experienced sitting in a plane, complete with pitch, roll and yaw, as it started its approach to JFK. I was completely mesmerized, and made it a point to stop and write this before I even got to land :-) I may be fortunate to be in an area with coverage, but even with coverage there are less planes than in regular planefinder. However, I truly dont believe you miss much by not experiencing being in a local plane with this app. You are able to EXPERIENCE being in planes from all over the world (IN REAL TIME), and it is truly astounding. Lack of coverage in the regular version of planefinder would severely impact my enjoyment of that application, and you do lose out on the cool 3d view of the sky above you without local coverage. The 3d sky overview is beautiful, and kept me busy for a while. However, once I hopped on a flight, I realized that the 3d view was just incredible window dressing (and great UI) for a much more profound new application idea. Heres a hint to get the most out of the Fly Me functionality - pick planes that are LANDING. These planes are making more frequent flight adjustments, and you can see the result against the ground as a reference. Planes taking off are just looking at the sky (with some clouds for reference), so the experience is a bit diminished. Just as in real life, straight and level flight is boring, so... I dont suggest those for the best experience. No wonder I rarely write reviews, I end up writing novels (but only for apps that deserve one). And I forgot to mention no on app begging for reviews!! (at least not yet). Enjoy!

Essentially a scam. Website and info suggests it covers the US. It doesnt.

Scam. Dont buy. Only shows a few airports and a few miles around them.

Has potential

The idea is pretty good but the app keeps crashing. Every time you touch a plane, The app closes and youre back to the home screen. At least on my set up but that looks like a common complaint. Just a couple of suggestions 1. Update the app to show the type of aircraft being flown, Currently all aircraft represent Boeing 777s 2. Update the app to reflect the current liveries on the Various types of aircraft Being flown. If those updates are implemented and the app does not crash this would be an awesome app.

3 D planefinder

Like the app. Hard to navigate and what if you want to go to another regions in the world ?

Needs work

Great idea, needs a lot of work. Hard to use and not very responsive.

Limited

Limited to just a few airports. Disappointing. Looks great for areas it covers, but just too limited.

Dont bother.

Crude and unfinished. I miss my dollar now.

Simply outstanding over jfk; promising

Look forward to future developments. Couple with liveatc.

Plane Finder? Doesnt live up to name

This app wasnt able to find flight MH370 to Beijing. How do you lose a 777?

Total waste of money and time

This us my first review. This app does not work period. Crashes every time. No pun intended.

Where Are The Planes???

Do Not Buy On Mine It Doesnt Show The Planes

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Not only is the database limited but it simply doesnt work. Even if you look at the airport you want.

Tim

Cannot add airports, Atlanta the busiest airport.
