Really enjoying my FlightAbove Horizon! I've been using the Horizon and I'm very happy with it so far. The screen looks great, the touchscreen is responsive and the flight information updates automatically. I particularly like being able to select aircraft and see detailed information about each flight. It looks great on my desk and is a really nice gadget for aviation enthusiasts. I'm looking forward to future software updates and new features as the product continues to develop. Thanks to the FlightAbove team for the support!

This "FlightAbove Mini" is very good. Rather than have to look up a well known flight tracker app on my Mobile Phone every time, this sits beside my chair and is on 12 hours a day. I got stuck with the initial setup but Customer Service were excellent and understanding. They gave me all the help I needed. At 4 inches the screen is small making some text hard to read. There are multiple screen options though and with a bit of trial and error, I found one setup which suited my eyes. Do I regret buying this item? Definitely no!! I'm sure there will be updates to come which can only improve this excellent piece of kit for Aviation Geeks 馃檪.
I live under the Heathrow approach and for years I have been gazing up trying to identify aircraft. Now the answer is on my desk. I still look up, then I look down to check.
Setup took about a minute. Plugged in, connected to WiFi, and it started showing planes. My husband spotted his old airline within a few minutes. Easy gift, no homework for me.
Bought it for my dad. Build quality is solid and he had it running the same evening. He still texts photos of random airliners like I am meant to know what they are.
Beautifully made and simple to use. I have it on weather most of the day and flip to radar when something loud goes over. Feels like a proper object, not a gadget.
Order said 5 to 7 business days to build and that was about right. Once it arrived, WiFi setup was quick. I keep catching myself watching evening arrivals instead of the TV.
Looks smart on the desk and the live traffic is the bit I did not expect to watch this much. One star off because it only joins 2.4 GHz WiFi. I had to add a guest network on our mesh, then it was fine.
The circular screen looks great and there are a lot of layout options. It is a small desk display though, so sit close. Once you accept that, the live data is excellent.
Really happy with it. Not cheap for the screen size, which is why it is four stars, but I use it every day so the price stopped bothering me after week one.
