Flightradar24 is honestly one of the best flight trackers I have ever seen. Its real time flight data, accurate info etc makes it look very professional. It has an extremely easy user interface, where if you want to track a flight anywhere in the world, just click on it and you will get tons of information about the flight type, altitude etc. The best part is, IT IS FREE!. This is an absolute must-use for Av Geeks like me and I have immense respect for the people that made this. Thanks for reading this review and have a good day!.

I love Flight Radar
January 11, 2011

I love Flight Radar. You need a decent amount of memory to be able to display it properly though.
Flight radar shows you all the planes in the air meaning that if you know someone flying you can watch their plane leave, travel and then land. You can see the altitude and location of planes and it's quite interesting when there are conditions such as snow as you can see the planes circling round waiting for airports to open.
Okay, it may seem sad to some of you but it is worth a look, believe me!

I can certainly live with the ads on the free version but the app has taken it to a new level... I use this app occasionally to track in-flight emergencies on aircraft coming into major airports. The last thing I need while this is happening is to touch the screen, and have a stupid game ad pop up and hijack my audio as well as the app itself... For something as professional as this is supposed to be, you would think a game ad showing some child's play would be the last thing they would throw at you... Sort of makes me feel like they're holding me hostage to make a purchase... Very irritating... Moving on from the app

As someone who loves flying, FlightRadar 24 is one of my favorite apps and websites. I don't strictly need it as such, but seeing what's around me is addictive.

If you take commercial flights I guess it's a useful service, but that's not the way I use it. I like to know what's in the air around me. The augmented reality thing works great for that I can point my phone at a plane in the sky and it overlays everything I could want to know about it which is almost everything except the pilot's name!

It's worth paying for the lowest tier to get rid of the ads and to be able to set some alerts. You also get the 3D view which is like a flight simulator (you need a decent internet connection though, otherwise the landscape loads too slowly). If you want the top tier it becomes prohibitively expensive. Apparently if you set up your own station to contribute flight data you can get the top tier for free, but that's a bit beyond me.

Overall, a highly addictive and useful app.

I am not a huge fan of flying, to be honest, but because of my job, I was forced to take a plane. And this app/service idk radar xD helped me. When you look on small yellow planes you just think that you are not alone and everything is fine and nobody's falling. So it helped me to spent my time in the line to the plane relaxed. Mostly.

Very fun way to spend time
September 29, 2020

If you are bored and aviation interests you, you can see local flights around the world! Flightradar24 will tell you a lot about the flight, which I find very fun. If I had one complaint it's only that other information is locked behind a paywall, but it's understandable since the website needs money. You can also see most flights near your local airport! Very fun service!

I live in a part of a city that is located in an international airport's final approach range, so I typically see commercial airlines just as they are in their landing stage. This is what lead me to this site in 2016 and I've been using it on a monthly basis since then.

This site is very informative on aircrafts. They display their path, their departure and destinations. They also display the aircraft type, the year of manufacture, and even the altitude. This site not only covers commercial flights, but private planes, helicopters, military aircrafts, weather balloons, ect.

I've gotten so fascinated with this site and tracking aircrafts all over the world that I've bought an annual subscription from them to gain more privileges, and it holds up even better than the free version. The subscription allows you to see the live tracking in radar view. It also shows information on volcanic activity around the world and allows you to access the map in different layouts, including live weather. There is also a feature that allows you to see the flight in 3D view and see the outside layout of the aircraft, although this usually works on commercial flights only.

Very fast, quality service, all questions are answered clearly and clearly. The prices, by far, are among the lowest on the market and I liked the product, very high quality.

Wrong data
March 28, 2022

We used the data to make an estimate of when a flight would arrive, but the data on the website didn't match our arrival date.
Annoying.
