Hello. I'm a new user, and have this app on both my iPad and my Android phone, and just discovered it on the internet page as well. I don't bring my iPad to work, but, even if I did, it's Wi-Fi only, and we do not have open Wi-Fi at work, so it would not matter.
I have been playing around with the web page, and notice that I can only follow many of the planes for just a few minutes, and then, they just disappear. This most recently happened with JetBlue 259 from FLL to LGB. It departed FLL at 4:01 PM EST....and I was watching it like 10 or 15 minutes after departure, it was still in Florida, and had not been in the air very long, and then, it was just gone.
Does this happen because there is not any useres with an ADS-B receiver nearby to continue receiving the signal, or is there something else going on?
I had the same thing happen with a flight that was out over the Pacific Ocean today also. I didn't really even have time to catch what the flight number was, or what company it was before it just vanished!
What's happening here?
I really enjoy this site, this one along with some others that allow live tracking are just great. I appreciate all the hard work. I would love to be able to buy a receiver and help with the live tracking, but, I'm not sure I have the funds to do so. The receivers look a little pricey! Plus, I would have to have an inconspicous antenna since I live in an HOA area, and the only kind of antenna's we can have are the small dish antennas for TV.
Thanks in advance.
