Hi All,
Just downloaded the above app onto my iPhone.
Opening the App shows aircraft silhouettes overflying a map of SE England (only SE England at the moment).
Tapping on an aircraft silhouette brings up the reg. and (where available), routing and altitude.
A further tap then brings up another screen showing more detail such as type, speed, hex code, etc., and a further tap takes you to photos, or centres the map on the aircraft.
Needless to say, it's 5 minute delayed.
Not bad for when you're out and about....
I'm trying to think what this £ 2.99 App reminds me of :o)
Anybody else had a look at this ?

The author is reportedly considering removing the delay now that the consensus seems to be that real-time networking is the new de facto standard.

An idea in keeping with the times, it happens!
Next for us with www.radarvirtuel.com Iphone compatible.

Living close to Heathrow as I do, that would make it a brilliant App for mobile use. Let's hope that'll happen !

I have just ordered a Iphone, so looking forward to trying this, will report back in about a week or so when I have tried it.

Hi All
I now have my Iphone up and running with Plane Finder. This is a very good app, you can also feed data into the app if you are using planeplotter.
The author is reportedly considering removing the delay now that the consensus seems to be that real-time networking is the new de facto standard.
The 5 Min delay has now been removed.
The more people that feed data into the app, the better it will get.
Cheers

Excellent news; as you say, it needs wider coverage.
Excellent App.

For those in Europe - and those interested in Europe - it's confirmation that the days of the five minute delay are over.

Hello,
I am the developer of Plane Finder and glad you all like it so much. We are constantly developing it and I have just submitted the next version to Apple so look out for that!
What we need from people like yourselves is to help build the network of data. If you are interested please mail [email protected]. We can get you on the early release program for any beta's etc.
Thanks chaps,
Lee

Email sent, great app!

First thing my BOSS said to me this morning, as he showed me his Iphone, was is that your dot on the map? Looks good to me, saves me logging on to my laptop at home to see whats overhead.
-
Hows about getting it to work on BlackBerry aswell?
Graham
-
Well we may just do that, or Android. Not sure which one to tackle first!
-
Wow! Great response from the guys today, thanks for that and Happy New Year.
If you want any new features added to Plane Finder just let us know!

Definately Android since I own an HTC Dream LOL.

Hi is plane finder still limited to southern England? As I live in Leeds it's not really useful for myself!
Cheers mark

Hi Mark,
Not yet but hopefully with the help of people like yourselves we can add your RadarBox data to the app. A few users on the forum are going to set up sharing with us in the New Year, hopefully we'll have full UK coverage soon!
Happy New Year!
Lee

excellent news Lee, i would be happy to share my data, by the way amazing app!
Have a great 2010

Hi Everyone
If anybody has the new Iphone you must have a look at this new app.
Its shows aircraft details, photo's and much much more.
At the moment covering South of the uk, but the more shares there is the more the coverage will be.
If you are thinking about getting a new mobile phone, get the Iphone, this is a great bit of software. When out and about, I am always using it
Andy

Could not agree more andy great app cant wait to see some coverage up north where i live will be great

Slightly off topic, but how do I download a copy of the terrain type map on the radarvirtuel site to use on my pc?

Just a quick update.
We are expanding and have good Northern Europe coverage. Anyone else want their data in the app let me know! :o)

Any further news?

Not for now, we are looking into iPad as this will be excellent to view the app on.
-
The iPad is WiFi only, so not quite as versatile as an iPhone

Disappointing :( All this fixation with iPhone. Low battery life, no multi tasking, no data push etc
Graham

I am based in the Midlands and feed data to PF.
I currently have 400+ unique Mode-S aircraft in MyFlights and my coverage comes quite a way northwards if that helps?
Kind regards,

Take a look here....http://www.shipfinder.co.uk/home/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=9
It is just filling in an extra box...

It does have (pseudo) push;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
But I agree that battery life is rubbish and it would be nice to have multi-tasking although the only computer I have experienced true multi-tasking on were my old Commodore Amiga's - even the PC some 20-odd years on could learn a few tricks!; ^)
I guess developers have to take a view on where they can recoup the biggest return on their investment and there is no doubting the popularity of the iPhone...I still use my old Nokia 6310i for a 'phone but would not want to be without my iPhone for everything else!
Kind regards,
-=Glyn=-
-
And it does sort of have multi-tasking too!
Enough for me anyway.

Sorry Lee...was that intended for me?
I already feed data to PF and have checked with Mark who sent a log of my transmissions last week to give me peace of mind that my data was arriving at Ship/Plane Finder HQ.
I installed PlanePlotter specifically to feed my data to you guys but it might be an idea to maybe look at authoring a small app that sits quietly in the background peeling data from the relevant SBS/RB port and feeding it directly to you?
Then if the PP site ever goes down you could carry on receiving data from us and continue streaming data to your PF users without depending upon a 3rd party.
I was sat on the sidelines wondering whether to install PP for many months before I decided to go for it.
If I had access to a small app whose sole raison d'être was to sit discretely and take the data from the SBS/RB port I would have installed that straight away.
Food for thought maybe?
Thanks & regards,
-=Glyn=-

That's nowhere near Lee - just because it's a woman using the iPhone doesn't make it multitasking! ;^)
I'm an iPhone advocate but even I would admit it does have its weak points and Graham has highlighted the major ones IMHO.
I know AirNav have been busy with ANRBv3 & ANRB3D but I would have expected to see an iPhone app from them some time ago now?
Kind regards,

Android version out now too. Search for "Plane Finder Free" on the market place.

Bought my iPad a few days ago and downloaded Plane Finder. What a fantastic App. Today, there was an update so there are a couple of nice extra features. I,m amazed how much coverage there is. I'm really quite impressed and I'm sure it will get even better over time. Anybody else using Plane Finder on the iPad yet?
-
:-) we have been working hard, you should also check out Plane Finder AR if you have an iPad 2! http://bit.ly/PlaneAR

Yup. I've got this App and it works great. However, like a reviewer said in iTunes, why is there no aircraft type on the label? Also, it's frustrating that the labels can overlap one another, even if there are only two aircaft meaning that you can't read the info on the label behind. Will either of these issues be addressed in a future update at all?
Thanks.

I have got Flight Radar 24 on the Android. Is Plane Finder better, or are they about the same. I find Flight Radar 24 very good.
