How does Flightradar24 work?

Now, that's a good question, isn't it? How is it supposed to track planes in real time? Well, because it can basically detect any aircraft equipped with an ADS-B locator, used by the majority of planes except for those that operate in the USA and Canada. For the latter, it uses information provided by the FAA and that's why these plans are shown with a 5-minute delay in the application.

Requirements and additional information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 7.0.
• Offers in-app purchases.
