Search for flightradar24 in appstore and download.
As I wrote before, there are lots of bugs and we will fix them in updates in near time.

Worth Waiting for I'm sure!

Due too a small technical issue, Apple has not accepted the Pro app. We will make the correction tomorrow, and submit again.
Still no info about the free app.

i think the guys who share there radar must get a free copy ;-)

I think so too, but it's not possible to arrange that in a simple way. So i will have to buy the app just like all others.

Please could someone post when it is available in the app store. I really hope it will be available in Europe. I am defiantly up for the pro version when its available

iPhone 3g was two years ago, In new phone it wan't be any special features anyway this option should make more peaople buy Pro version.

"point to sky" will be included sometime in the future. It will not work on phones without compass, like iPhone 3G.

This option "pointing to the sky", is great I think you should work together to make this avaible in final version. Hope to see andorid version soon

The official Flightradar24 app has been uploaded to Apple. It normally takes 3-10 days to approve an app, so I hope it will be available later this week.
There will be 2 apps, 'FlightRadar24 Free' and 'FlightRadar24 Pro'. The Free version will be free and the Pro version will cost 6 USD.
The free app will show all planes in real time. But on click it will only show callsign.
The pro app will show all planes in real time. On click it will show full plane and route info (same as Flightradar24.com).
The pro version will also include filters.
Remember that this is version 1 of the app, so there may still be lots of bugs. There are lots of people asking for this app every day, so we have decided to release this version that may contain bugs, and we will release an update with the bugs fixed in the next weeks.
The FlightRadar24 app should work on any iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad but it hasn't been tested on all devices.
We are also working on an Android app, but it's still to early the give a date when it will be ready.

Have made a movie of app and uploaded it to youtube. Have a look at

Hope to get access to FR24 data to make this app to work in whole europe.

enjoy!

Thank you :-)

Can you give me a link to this video ?

I decided to include feature "pointing phone to the plane on the sky and automaticly app will tell us what is this plane with small thumbnail?" into version 1.0.
Now i am working on getting mobile position (on planet) and orientation (pointing direction) reliably, what i found is not an easy task (even google SkyMap programmers have some troubles here).
As i do not have access to FR24 flight data i have to do things like mode_s conversion to tailnumber and accessing pictures of plane completely on myself.
So i am still developing and up to now there is no product at Version 1.0.
Already implemented are things like showing planes on map directing flight heading, flight information poping up on taping the plane on map, link to photo of plane...
Next two weeks i will be on vacation. Good thing - one week on my own - bad thing (not for me ) - one week in greece and no development at all.
So things are moving!

Werner

That is definitely the idea i had and for sure it will be part of app (maybe not in V1.0) but i am workin on it!
