  1. 4/5Great addition

    I think this app has a ton of potential. It is an excellent adjunct to using the website or phone app. It has many features that are customizable like the website. Thanks for developing this app!

  2. 5/5Best ADS-B watch App

    This is absolutely the best Apple Watch ADS-B traffic app. PlaneWatcher loads extremely quickly, adds situational awareness with track-up or North-up and has intuitive controls. This app has saved my bacon on more than one occasion in the air and always satisfies my curiosity while on the ground. It’s hands down the fastest way to identify a plane you see/hear in the sky. Don’t think about it any more, just purchase it, check out their other aviation accident app.

  3. 5/5Works great, is way faster than expected

    Unlike so many other watch apps, this is incredibly fast. My only ask is to support Compass and orientation on watches that support it

  4. 5/5mixed

    a) would love a simple “N” when not in “always North” b) would love a configurable Notification that could be, e.g. “Helicopters within 5 miles” c) ANY chance getting Depart & Destination airport added to the flight info ???

  5. 4/5Fun app will get better

    Outstanding fun app. Plagued by network error glitch other reviewer spoke of. Worked when I was restarted watch.
