How does Plane Finder work?
Plane Finder receives real time ADS-B and MLAT signals sent by aircraft to transmit their positional data to land based receivers. This technology is faster than traditional radar and is used for air traffic control and navigation. You can check our worldwide flight tracking coverage for free at www.planefinder.net

This "Lite" version is more of an ad delivery system than a trial or representation of what to expect from the paid version. First it starts off on the opposite side of the world, and you have to manually navigate to your current location. I should say attempt to. The app crashes every time you swipe very far...so I cannot try the app in my location. The ads load flawlessy every time though.

Great app, plenty to customize if you upgrade. can set your own flight reminders in advance and it's supposed to update any changes but not to good at that as I tried it with a flight I've taken and it only really seemed to update the day of although the airline company had already changed my flight number and times I had to go in and search for that one to save it as well. other than that, seems like a great app. I like the filter option for the different aircraft. just add rotating screen.

Quite happy except that for some reason Emergency alerts no longer appear in the notification bar when I moved to a new phone (same Android and app version). No idea why, the in-app settings are the same. If I look at the alerts I can see them, just no indication in real time.
