Hello Mike- When I open FR 24 one gets the normal radar screen showing movements then after 30 minutes the screen changes to a message that it has been "Timed Out" to preserve bandwidth etc., refresh to obtain a further 30 minutes. Hope this clarifies my query.

Hi Graham,

If you have a basic account it will timeout, there are details here https://www.flightradar24.com/premium/ (https://www.flightradar24.com/premium/)


If you feed data to FR24 they will upgrade you to a 'Business' account at no cost.

Cheers,

Keef.

Possibly the alternative is to interact with the program by moving the view, etc. If there is no interaction, I think the program assumes that no one is viewing the output and hence times out.

If you upgrade by contibuting data, the problem goes away.

Further to my earlier posts on this subject in early April I paid FR24 a modest sum to  subscribe to the Silver Package offered and received all that was promised,sadly as from yesterday,05/05/18,the app has reverted back to timing out after 30 minutes displaying the usual time out message though it remains advert free.
Can any kind person provide a link,e-mail or telephone number, for FR24 so as to enable me to take this matter further?
Many thanks.

Did you pay an annual Silver subscription Graham and are you only accessing it from the one device?

And does your account still show as Silbver?

Thanks Mike-
1] Yes-Paid the annual fee of £8.70 (equates to $9.99)
2] Possibly I may have used my I Pad as well as my desktop, not certain on that.
3] How do I retrieve my account status please?

Go to the FR24 website.  Your account status should show top right, assuming you're logged in.
