Skycards Reviews

I’ve been using flightradar and adsb for awhile now. Saw this pop up on a ad and been playing it for about 3 weeks now. Only need 1 more common aircraft to complete that achievement and waiting till a mission pops up around the area it’s common at. I have 8 US states left to get. Except I can only count 6 I’m missing off the map. Anyway we can get a drop list of the United States we have captured. We have it for countries. Why not the states. And it’s really hard to distinguish between the states with no boundaries and airports only certain ones highlight at different zoom levels. And it would be nice to see price drop on countries far away. It’s taking me all 3 weeks to gain over 300 coins after understanding how the game works fully. Love it but 4 stars till get a little easier negotiating through state and country boundaries

This game is addictive! Super fun and works pretty well. The only issue is that the gameplay is slightly limited and gets a little repetitive after a while. Something that would mitigate this more of is more power-ups in the shop. For example, it would be cool if you could buy an item that highlights all of the planes you don’t have on the map for a certain period of time. I would also love more incentives as you level up, like maybe once you reach a certain level your photo limit increases to 10. I think more things like that would help the game from getting too monotonous. But other than that this is a great game :) I have been learning a lot about planes through it as well which is cool!

The game is great! Everything is well thought out, very few, and optional advertisements, but I do have a few big issues. The lag, if I view all of Southern California at the same time, it is ridiculously laggy and slow. This is significant because I have a good phone, and it’s still really slow, I would love to see similar optimisation that is used in FR24. Another issue related to the lag, the heat and battery life, my phone gets really hot when playing this game, and also the battery drains a percentage every other minute. This is surprising because it has been the only app so far to do this to me, and it’s not even that graphics intensive. Thank you guys! Wonderful game.

To start off, this game is so much fun for me being an aviation enthusiast. It is quite grindy as well and does take a little bit of time to get “good” at.

Pros:
-This game has a lot to offer including battle modes, quests, and just the fun of creating your own collection of rare planes.
-The game is not easy and does take some time to be able to compete with the unemployed people.
-The battle feature within the game can ease your need for competitiveness as well.

Cons:
-The game can get a little bit laggy on my 4 year old I phone (not sure if its my phone or the game but it is something to note)
-The game has no ranking system for the battle mode which can make it difficult to win when your a noob. I think a good idea for the developers is to make a ranking system so that you aren’t playing insanely good people when you just start out.
-I noticed that some planes are missing when comparing this game’s built in radar system to FlightRadar but it was an extremely rare occurance.

Thanks and have fun with the grind.

It’s way too hard for us American users, especially rural users like in the Midwest, meanwhile Europeans seem to have every advantage, with having some aircraft that are physically banned here. My suggestion is to redo the system so there’s a better chance for most of us, or make travel options cheaper so we can have a higher chance of getting to be even with those users at least. There seems to be a bot issue now, with the same 5 aircraft being maxed out to levels that aren’t possible, when they’ve only flown once, or there’s only 1 example of them left.

The game is good, I can’t lie. It just needs some reworks, especially with the battle mode. First of all, the fact that XP matters for literally every single part (if you choose the same plane) is annoying, and second, BALANCING. I’m a level 8 with 3 ultra planes going up against people who have MQ-9’s, F-16’s, the game isn’t fun. When u came into the battle mode, I expected a Pokémon ripoff, but I was surprised to see something that’s mostly original. Then i actually got into the “battle,” which was annoying to say the least. In short, add balancing to battle mode and please, please get rid of the entire XP tie thing, it’s annoying.

I really like it but I think there’s one thing that needs improved. Sometimes when you’re trying to catch a flight and you tap the photo button, the plane moves out of the frame which then makes you try again. It also seems that when you’re taking a picture, the plane moves around and vibrates a little. Also I think the circle where you can catch flights even when you increase its size for 30 minutes is still a little small.

Overall it’s a great game though.

This game is very enjoyable and is honestly really well made! The activities are engaging, and the features are captivating and expertly designed. However, there are some qualities which seem like they could be improved. Firstly, I despise the option for the 0 coin wager; because it detracts time from people who want to earn coins and doesn’t really do anything. Secondly, it would be cool to have different power-ups that could be engaged in a battle, but that may ruin the balance. Either way, this is a great and rather enjoyable app!

Just heard about this game and decided to give it a try. very thought out and interesting playstyle and I just purchased a 2.99$ bundle to "support" my local air traffic. Hope there is a lifetime premium option like flighty or having enough photos for a new location (25+ 50+ etc.)

Definitely considering adding this to my collection of travel tracker games

I like this game a lot my only problem is there should be a way to delete pictures after you take them and save even within a day just I need the ability to do that other than that, it's an awesome game would recommend!

I am a private pilot working towards the airlines. I already live on FlightRadar24, and now they’ve turned it into an awesome game/collectors app.

I enjoy collecting the airline trading cards when I travel, along with being on flightradar24 any chance I get. This is a PERFECT combination of both!! PLEASE keep updating and adding more to Skycards !!!

Would rate 10 STARS if I could!!!!!

I had a serious issue with my phone that hosed a few features after the latest update. I thought it was Skycards .. it was my ancient phone. Only bad thing was after wiping my phone and reinstalling this app my original account did not come back so I am back to square one. But still great game for travel lover but homebound older folks like me.

This is such a great concept! I love the way you can use your coins from catching the planes for expanding your radar! I do have one suggestion, try and add a feature like FR24’s AR. Have it so you can take a photo of a plane in real life! This should give players extra points, and get a badge next to their card that says, “AR photographer”. Overall, a very good game.

This is the perfect game for airplane geeks! The concept of collecting aircraft types is amazing! I hope we get to see more expansion out of seeing our stats.

I’d love to see how many tail numbers of each specific AIRLINE, the total number of planes caught, the separation of commercial and cargo, making and competing with friends, none of this is criticism as it’s such a young game!

I hope we get to see some awesome updates soon! Make it happen FlightRadar!

Hello Flightradar24 developers! I love this app! It’s a great app and really fun to play. I enjoy catching the airplanes and strategizing with the actual Flightradar24 app to find rare airplanes to add into the deck collection! But why is there no iPad support? iPad support would make the experience even more awesome with the bigger screen and processing power. I hope you’ll add iPad support to your future collection so I can enjoy the game even more!

this app!, the new game by the Flightradar24 team, lets you spot and collect different types of aircraft based on their rarity as they fly overhead. When you see a rare plane, tap it on the map, hit “Catch,” and time your shot perfectly to capture a great image. Framing the plane just right earns you one coin, and capturing it without clouds gets you an extra coin. It’s a unique concept, and I’m really having fun with it!

So happy this concept was manifested; I would love regional trivia based on the flights destination or departure (maybe for increasing the planes stats in battles which I have yet to do), I love the card design and the 3D models, i think it’s cool that you have a mini game to catch the cards but maybe yall could add an authentic tier where the card is like a shiny or higher tier when you actually take a picture of the plane. The circle is also huge but that makes sense for rural folk. The missions should also be slightly more catered to location, like maybe beaucar I live in Chicago the missions are only things that will def happen in Chicago at some point. an algorithm with exchangeable inputs would work ig.

I am so enthusiastic about this game!!

Love the game, got it by about a month ago and it is wonderful, everything is amazing and works perfectly. The only downside to it is that at a certain point when your radar is big you can extend it but once you’re able to expand it again it shrinks. So you’re constantly spending more in game money for 30 minutes of expanded radar, which I have not seen anything about that in any of the settings at all. Other than that it’s an awesome game.

I don’t really write reviews, but I had to review this game. I absolutely love staring at the radar and collecting neat planes across the world. The game is still in beta phase, so it has some room to grow. I wish the PVP had a little more to it, and perhaps had some other competitive battles or competitions to it. The battles can get a little imbalanced, as certain aircraft guarantee a win for players who have them such as the 351 Stratolaunch Scaler. Only having 5 grabs every 30 or so minutes feels restrictive too, but is probably just so people don’t rapidly obtain planes. Overall a very fun concept and can’t wait to see how it grows.

Very fun, you don’t need to know a whole lot about aviation to play this game (although you will quickly start learning a lot). My only real complaint is that my iPhone 14 seems to struggle with running Skycards , I don’t know if it’s Skycards or my phone that is causing this. 10/10 would recommend!
