I am the co-founder of Planefinder.net. We’ve been tracking aircraft since 2009.

Good work!

Love it!

It didn’t at the time.

Their phone line kept cutting us off and then the people there were not too helpful.

Enterprise support has been useless as is the status page. Got more info here
We actually added this as a feature to our sharing software at Plane Finder using our own modelling. If you sign up and then view your stats on the web you can compare your actual to the predicted. https://planefinder.net/coverage

I wonder if it can support more than 3 Bluetooth connections like the current one!

I guess we are in that 3% then!

But 50% of our traffic has gone!

Hopefully you are still working on it!

Hi there,

I am one of the creators of Plane Finder 3D.

Plane Finder 3D is the latest of our creations. We are a small team of 4 based in the UK and created the first flight tracker for iOS back in 2009!

The new AR (ARKit) mode just looks so awesome! . We use our network of thousands of ADS-B receivers around the world to feed this app it's data. You can project the airspace onto a coffee table or anything flat actually (moving car roofs are not recommended!).

All you do is then move your iPhone/iPad around and you can zoom around the "sky" with your device! You can see more info at https://planefinder.net/3D/

Hope you like it!
