| 2024-07-20 |  | | I think it does a really good job, at the price of a few ads. It allows you to find a flight, see delays, track the flights, and see them on a map. Everything you need, pretty easy to get up to speed on using it. Note - there seem to be more ads than before, but I'll leave it at 4 stars if you don't mind watching an ad before checking on your flight. |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | Updated** This used to be my go-to flight tracker, but I've moved on. The ads are ridiculous! Every tap you make has an ad. It's no longer serving its purpose. Previous review: 5 stars Love this app!! Accurate fast information that is updated in real time. Sometimes the ads can be overwhelming, but worth it.. |
| 2024-04-10 |  | | I initally gave this app 5 stars, but I don't use it often enough to upgrade & I find the intrusive full screen ads unacceptable. Uninstalling. So I decided to try it again & the full screen ads play loud audio so I can't use this at work. Totally unacceptable!!! Uninstalling again. UPDATE: Just tried it again. The ads are even more intrusive & annoying and now no notifications without paying. Not paying to use it twice a year. Another once useful app down the drain. |
| 2024-02-19 |  | | I work at an airport and have used this app for nearly three years as a secondary method of tracking incoming flights. The app is (was) extremely helpful in that regard and was easy to use and read. Lately however, the ads have become extremely obnoxious, especially now in February 2024. I'm spending more time dealing with ads than using the app. I could upgrade, but I refuse to pay simply to un-ruin the app I've used for years when there are other apps available with good free versions. |
| 2023-12-04 |  | | I used to like this app. I don't mind the adds that pop up - that's understandable to keep the app free. What I am so disappointed in now is I don't get alerts when the plane is delayed or landing early etc. I have to keep going to the app and checking the details. I liked it better when I could enter my flight number and get push notifications about delays etc. |
| 2023-09-24 |  | | I have used this app a long time and find it excellent for staying informed when I'm traveling and when I'm tracking flights of friends and family. I have to drop my rating of it though because recent changes to how ads are handled have made the free version of the app unusable. I have gotten enough out of the app that I'm willing to subscribe but I don't think new users will see any value after using the free version. |
| 2023-01-16 |  | | My new favorite flight tracking app. The UI could use some polish. The only new feature I would want is the ability to sign in using a Google account so I can use the app on multiple devices. So user accounts/profiles would be my request. Also be aware that there appear to be two versions. This one is free and has no ads. The other version has ads and a yearly subscription to hide the ads. |
| 2022-06-18 |  | | Fairly intuatuve to use. Most terminology is clear and concise. I expect the free edition to show ads but this app shows full screen pop-ups without a way to dismiss them. Extremely annoying and a waste of time - wouldn't use this app and decided to purchase a different app just to vote against full-screen pop-ups with my wallet. |
| 2022-02-11 |  | | An effective tool for storing information on flights I'll be taking (or meeting to pick someone up) and being alerted to delays, gate changes, etc. Fantastic user support! Most recently, they added a "recent searches" list to address the rare situation where a future flight is not yet in the external database on which Flight Tracker relies. Now a user can return to the app and retry the search with one touch. |
| 2021-10-13 |  | | This app is easy to use, and very convenient. You can search by Airline and flight number, or Airline and departure/arrival airports. It will update you for changes. In fact, I just got a notification for a change on a flight. This is very useful for tracking flights of family members. Ads are not a big problem. For a free app, it's really very good. With a little trial and error you can easily figure out how to do what you want. A favorite! Cannot find Avelo Air |
