Would love a web based version. Also, an option to see the aircraft form an over head view like all other tracking apps. Everything else has been really nice. UPDATE: I noticed a lot of the SoCal choppers aren’t coming up on the map. I’d love to see these added. I’ll list some here, N141FA N17LA N76CG N15LA N43CU

Thanks!! I’m going to fix this (and many more) in the next update!

Love the app, but the lifetime buyout is way too much. There is no other app that does just firefighting aircraft so this app has got this genre cornered. Lower the prices and myopic can take this along way.

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! I get that you want a lower price, who doesn’t want a free lunch right! The problem is: live aircraft data doesn’t come cheap. Neither is app development. So there’s little I can do about that without turning it into a loss for myself. Thanks for your understanding!All the best,Ernst

The app was great during the ‘23 fire season, now, it’s useless

I loved this app when I first found it last year, I was able to track planes working fires near us, as well as other large fires in the state. Imagine my surprise when I opened the app, only to find California aircraft were the only ones showing. With my state operating on a million plus acre wildfire, not having flight data is a bit annoying.

Hey! That sounds strange, since the launch of the app I only added aircraft it tracks, never removed them! Can you email me at ernst@mulde.rs so I can check what’s going on?Thanks a lot!
