## Description

ADSB Flight Tracker Lite is a powerful Chrome extension designed for aviation enthusiasts to monitor planes flying locally and globally in real time. It features a realistic radar-style interface inspired by Heathrow air traffic control screens, allowing you to connect to live flight data servers such as www.adsbexchange.com. Users can filter aircraft details based on numerous flight parameters, enhancing the tracking experience.

The extension supports built-in ADSB receiver functionality, enabling direct reception of local aircraft data with compatible hardware. It also offers GPS integration to display your movement speed, direction, and altitude, along with proximity alerts that provide visual and audio warnings when aircraft approach near your location. A simple 3D view mode enhances visualization, displaying yellow or white planes, and supports VR interaction on Android devices with appropriate sensors for immersive 360° tracking around you. Additional map tiles can be connected for increased realism. Please note that for full color plane liveries, the full version is available on the Playstore. Use this software responsibly as it's provided "as is" without warranties.

## Review summary

The ADSB Flight Tracker Lite app offers detailed flight tracking especially for private and military planes, appealing to aviation enthusiasts with its realistic radar and multiple customization options. However, users frequently complain about the subscription pricing model replacing free features, a steep learning curve without an adequate user guide, increasing storage size, and missing or less functional features compared to the web version. Privacy concerns arise due to automatic clipboard pasting. Overall, while it is praised for technical depth, usability and pricing policies diminish user satisfaction.
