Great app, but track history is to old.

Really handy app but the track history goes back to far, makes the screen all cluttered and messy.

Some data is just plain wrong

This was a good app for tracking aircraft that other apps don't show, until OpenADSB started using "heuristics" to identify the operator and radio callsign for aircraft.

Another word for "heuristic" is "guess" so now the app frequently shows completely wrong information about flights.

For example here in New Zealand aircraft from a local operator are labelled by OpenADSB as being Nigerian, an air ambulance is shown with UK details, etc. Its just hopeless.

Prior to this change I was quite impressed with OpenADSB.
