So since Flightradar AB refuses to provide a direct APK link I have no way to update the app.
PlanePlotterMobile for me instead then. Ugh, its support is even worse than FR24...

Why is not longer possible to user "Callsign" as filter ? For example, TNT Airways (TAY) uses several operators (West Atlantic, Blue Bird, Farnair etc.) but since the latest major build I can only select "Airline" as filter but not "Callsign". Would be great to have it back, soon.Regards,

Note to Mike: around 20% of Android devices, and most sold in China, don't have access to Google Play Store due to Google's licensing.
Suggestion for UI simplification: remove the 'aircraft profile' picture from the summary information.
For enthusiasts it offers nothing, as the aircraft type is already listed below it.
For casual users I doubt it is much help, given that it is so small and generic anyway. And often wrong for less-common types ( as attached ). If they do want to see an actual photo of the actual aircraft they can hit the double-chevron for a better view.Attached FilesLast edited by mimku; 2015-02-05, 09:51.

Hi stan77,
thanks - but I (and hopefully others) need the Callsign Filter back Imagine, if you want to track a charter flight (e.g. Blue Panorama for Condor DE), you have to enter BPA instead of CFG. But if you don't know that Condor uses a BPA you are wondering where the flight is. You can surely extend it to other operators, TNT and Condor DE are just 2 examples from Germany.Regards,

I have problems with launching the Flightradar24 Pro app, can you help me?
Flightradar24 Pro is using the latest version of Google Maps which is included in "Google Play Services". You need to have latest version of "Google Play Services" installed in order to run Flightradar24 Pro app. Google Play Services can be download from https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...le.android.gmsWhy is the Flightradar24 not working on my Android unit?
Flightradar24 is built based on "Google Maps API" and "Google Play Services". Google apps for Android, such as YouTube, Google Maps and Navigation, Gmail, and so on are Google properties that are not part of Android, and are licensed separately. That means that a unit that is not Google certified, will not have all necessary files that are needed by Flightradar24 to work ("Google Maps API" and "Google Play Services"). Even if you hack your unit and install Google Play and Google Maps, there are still files missing in the system and Flightradar24 will not work. If you want to be sure that you can run Flightradar24 on your Android unit, make sure to buy a GOOGLE CERTIFIED unit from one of the major brands on the market.

I have a serious problem again with custom alerts. For example, I set an alert for B77 (Boeing 772 and 773), Local, at the Additional conditions (optional) -> Altitude less than 18000 ft. , then I get all alert which are fit for these conditions.
But!, if I set the "Destination is NOT 'xyz'", I will not get alerts anymore about B77's. Nevermore, independenly from any conditions. xyz meaning 3 letter IATA airport code, for example VIE -> Vienna
This problem is available on every aircraft types, if I set the "Destination is NOT 'xyz'".

I love the Flightradar24 app, but why in the last update was the + & - zoom removed from the map. Please can this be returned as i prefer this method to zoom in and out?
Also since the last update i am now unable to store anything under locations. I just keep getting the message (Unfortunately, Flightradar24 has stopped.)
Hopefully this can be sorted.
