Default FlightRadar24 too good to be true?

$2.99 for a real time merge of ADS-B and radar? Is this too good to be true or is it time for me to finally break down and buy a smart phone? There is no obvious subscription fee (but that might be buried in the fine print).

A lot of the ADS data comes from private parties who hook up an ADS-B receiver to the internet. Has anyone done this at a remote gliderport to expand local ADS-B coverage?

Is there anything this cheap for weather radar while in the air?
