## Featured reviews

- **5★ · Pretty Cool · April 16, 2018** — I’ve always enjoyed watching planes and flying them myself whether it be day or night. I always wonder where they’re going, what plane I am seeing, its altitude, speed, destination, etc. With this app, you can view all those things. You can track the plane to see its flight path to see if you will see it fly passed you or not. On the other hand, I live VERY close to railroad tracks and freight trains pass every 10 minutes or so. I wonder the same details about them and I’d love to have an app the same as Planes Live but for trains.
- **1★ · Not worth the money! · June 19, 2020** — I originally bought this app because I live on the landing pattern for Detroit Metro (DTW). The first year I had the app, it was great! I could sit on my deck and watch (and track) flights coming in and out of DTW. Within the last 3-4 months however the app has gone downhill quickly. Planes will fly over the house and not show up on the tracker, wrong flight numbers, incorrect maps, etc. I have sent numerous emails to customer service regarding my issues and basically I was brushed off. I really can’t justify paying $4.99 a month for an app that doesn’t work properly. UPDATE: Just received an email wanting me to reach out to the support team for help. Are you serious?!?!? The “support team” has been well aware of these issues for at least 3 months now since I have emailed them on 3 separate occasions. And only now they want to take me seriously (or try to save face) after I left a bad review of their crappy app. Sorry, too late. You have had ample time to correct the issue and basically ignored me. I’ve canceled my subscription and removed the app from my devices. Absolutely horrendous customer service.
- **1★ · Too many ads! · December 6, 2017** — This app has way too many ads! What’s extremely annoying is the fact that quite often a full page ad will suddenly pop up and take the entire screen. This full page ads popping up are already extremely annoying. I don’t mind some ads considering the app is free but I feel like these are aggressive type of ads : it takes the entire screen space and it’s often hard to find the little X button you are supposed to click to close the ad. I think it’s the first or second time I write a review. But this was simply way too annoying and I had to write a comment about it. A little bit advertising is okay but too many ads and on top of this tricky ones are not okay! UPDATE TO MY REVIEW AFTER DEVELOPER RESPONSE : The developer of the app has answered that “these functionality limitations in the app are compensated by the fact that it’s free.” The problem is that the answer is off topic : I am not talking about functionality limitations but what I consider to be borderline advertising harassment. When I say borderline, I actually believe that the way some of the ads appear cross the line : for example, the ad appear full page and it’s almost impossible to see the close button (the small X) because it’s almost the same color as the ad’s background color. I don’t mind some ads but not that kind of ads which from my personal opinion is more a form of harassment to trick me to click on places I don’t want. I also forgot to mention that many of these annoying ads seemed to have been for gambling websites.
