Flightradar24 Avis 

I was one of the early supporters of Flightradar24 and bought a number of licenses for my family. Unfortunately, they turned greedy and started to force a subscription model even for owners of previous lifetime licenses. After some time, they completely canceled the older app and left early supporters without any access to what they had paid for. After that sneaky, two-faced move, I wouldn't pay for or use the app even if it was the last resort.

Many a moon ago I downloaded Flightradar24 and found it quite useful, especially the 3D view.
After a while I paid to upgrade to the PRO version with no ads for life.
This was good.
Then the PRO version disappeared and ads returned.
Bad.
Still useable but annoying.
Then a new version of 3D view was added (at extra cost) but at least the old (and better by the way) one was still there.
Now, it isn't.
Utterly appalling disregard for its users means that a 5* app now deserves 0* but, for some strange reason I have to give it 1.
As a matter of principle I will now delete this sorry excuse of an app from my device.

Superb site covers the world and is free to use as well

Nice to track but very basic and inaccurate, rescue choppers that are on the pad this site says its at 650m and doing 65 knots.
Not credible

If I could give them a -5 I would. I have never been subjected to such rude service - unbelievable !
I called twice today June 13th between 12:15 and 12:30 to dispute a charge on my credit card. Got connected to the first available agent. I could use a lot of nouns/adjectives to describe his behavior - let's leave it as being an arrogant jerk!
Both times he yelled at me to call the credit card company - and then slammed the phone down. I called again and he didn't answer. Imagine my surprise !
If that's an example of how you treat customers - wow ! You have/will be having serious issues. This person should be fired ASAP !! I will try to get hold of his manager. Giving your company a bad name. Customers - take notice and beware! On to YELP...

I used to support Flightradar24 by "feeding" aircraft positions to their servers, like thousands of other people. I don't want to sound arrogant, but Flightradar24 exists only because of people like us. Without our data, they have nothing. We are the ones who install and operate the tracking hardware and who are paying the electricity bills. After reading here how they basically scammed people, I stopped providing data to them and I would recommend others to do the same. If someone buys a one-time-payment "lifetime" product, they should have it. They are breaking a legal contract and the law by removing / not compensating old customers. Also, they do not have that much financial expenses, since people like me are the ones who are providing almost all of the data of airplanes. They barely do anything other than taking up to $500 to $600 bucks from customers. As a "feeder" I get a "Business" account for free, but to be honest: It isn't worth. The free website provides everything most people need.

It is very difficult to unsubscribe from the service. I tried the free trial silver premium version, and it took a lot of work to deactivate the subscription. I hope I did, at least.

I LOVE this application and website.
Follow plans that people I know fly on to see when they land, connect, etc.
I've been a Silver member since they launched this.

Flightradar24 now has ads for Sephora that will not let you go. Hit the x to close and you get Sephora's site instead. Try to close to go back to FR24 and it won't let you. It takes you back to the first ad again and again.
Flightradar24 has become a piece of crap...

I received a notification on my bank app that I had a card check fm Flightradar 24. I called n froze my card as I hv never subscribe or enquire to Flightradar. Impossible to even get someone to question this. Be careful

The article titled "TCAS incident highlights ongoing issues in Somalia airspace" presents a distorted and exaggerated view of the state of Somalia's airspace. It is concerning that derogatory terms are used to describe a country in an attempt to sensationalise the content of the article. Such tactics undermine the credibility of the information presented and perpetuate misconceptions about Somalia's aviation sector.

It is essential to highlight that Somali airspace is not only well-established but also equipped with cutting-edge technology and equipment to effectively manage air traffic. The continuous investment in modern aviation infrastructure demonstrates a commitment to ensuring the safety & efficiency of air travel within Somali airspace. The presence of advanced systems and protocols underscores the efforts to meet international standards and enhance the overall operational capacity of the airspace.

In light of these facts, it’s evident that the portrayal of Somali airspace in the aforementioned article is misleading and fails to capture the progress and advancements made in the sector. It is crucial to approach discussions about aviation matters with accuracy and respect, acknowledging the efforts made by countries like Somalia to enhance their aviation capabilities and ensure a safe and reliable airspace environment.

I had a query about buying a subscription as a gift so contacted customer support, I was delighted by the reply from Liliia who was excellent at providing a solution for me with her friendly support. Thank you

Rubbish...shows some planes at manchester airport and that's about it.

I've used the free version of this app very occasionally over the last few years but when it started to play loud music when it showed me adverts, even when my phone sound was turned off, I deleted it. That's too intrusive - almost bullying. If they don't want it used without paying then limit the time the app can be used.

By the way, if you want to find an alternative (there are many) don't search using Google because FlightRadar 24 pays Google to place its product high on any search results, even if you are searching for reviews. Use DuckDuckGo instead and read comparative reviews of other apps. Google is not a search engine, it's a search filter.

Too expensive, and too lagy, buged. Shame.

Utter garbage since updating its app I cannot get 3D (cockpit) view on iPad and even though I’ve email them twice they have failed to reply. Basically they can’t be bothered. Avoid this useless app as there are better alternatives.

I use the free web based version of this, mainly to track kids' flights when they go away. It does exactly what I need and in real-time. Cool for me.

Swedish scammers. Grab all your personal data, offer 'improved' service (big joke), and quick to take your 'subscription for an UTTERLY mediocre result.

Have been a Gold customer for 5 years but it's become too expensive. Wanted to downgrade to Silver but the button is greyed out in the website. Tried to contact support (supposedly Gold customers get "priority support") but it seems impossible to actually get through. Ended up cancelling my subscription entirely in the hope that'd allow me to renew as Silver but no dice.

I have tested flightradar24
I planned to subscribe after testing, but I am very disappointed. I see planes and helicopters passing over my home, but when I check Flightradar24 they are not on the map. Some commercial passenger plains can be seen nearby the airports, but this is too bad. I will wait and see if this will become better in the future, but before that I will not pay for this.
