Does the Driver Have to Pay to Track the Pilot?

Only the pilot needs to have an active Kubicek FlyMate PREMIUM plan enabled to share live position and be trackable by others.

Does the subscription work across platforms?

Does the subscription work across platforms?

No. FlyMate Premium cannot be shared between Android and Apple devices.

The subscription is handled separately by Google Play and Apple App Store, and these systems do not share purchases.

Premium bought on Android works only on Android. Premium bought on Apple works only on Apple.

To use Premium on both, two separate subscriptions are required.

Regarding your data and flight logs – your Kubíček Account keeps them synced and works across all platforms, so everything stays the same on all your devices.
