New Flightradar24 Android App

[Oblivian]

So you are telling me that I pay for a gold subscription and if I want those benefits on the App I now need to pay more for a new App? or I can have a reduced benefits from the old app that you will no longer support? Is that correct?

This is what I can gather viewing the revisions on the play store.

Remember there was different versions?
FR24Free (very basic)
FR24 pro (1-off payment with more features and upgrade options of boards/flight info if wanted)
Premium (for premium user use)

If you have 'Flightradar24Pro' installed. (use to come with more, but cost and then optional addons) This is version 6. And includes features purchased. (and no ads!) But will not be updated here on in with new features the website may introduce.

Free version use to be limited. But now released as version 7, which appears to have the in-app options moved to it including subscription upgrade unlocks via login method.

If you paid the 1-off and use pro. Nothing changes. But will not have extra updates that may be introduced.

If you subscribe, I would suggest the free version needs to be updated and logged into now.

The current app will keep working but there will not be any new features or updates.

So no support (and extra features) for the current app?

[Mike]

The new app is sharing platform and subscriptions with the web and there is no need to update if you don't want to.
You can keep using the current Pro app without any extra costs.

Screw over

I paid for the app, I paid for the add ons and now after the update I have less functionality? How much money do you guys want from me? I loved the app but now I have to start paying more money to get functions back. Only 1 text label, no custom alerts and no saved filters. Do I understand corectly that I have to pay for those functions and get some lines over the ocean as an extra? Who decided that you can screw over a customer like that?

How it works
Most aircraft today are equipped with ADS-B transponders that transmit positional data. Flightradar24 has a rapidly growing network of over 15,000+ ground stations around the world to receive this data that then shows up as aircraft moving on a map in the app. In an expanding number of regions, with the help of multilateration, we’re able to calculate the positions of aircraft that don’t have ADS-B transponders. Coverage in North America is also supplemented by real-time radar data. Coverage is variable and subject to change at any time.
