  • Love this app

    Been using this for many years. It typically updates flight status before the actual airline does. I only do air travel about once every two years now. The version I had wouldn’t update flight status. I found the latest version and downloaded it and everything works now. I’d love to have the paid version yet $25 per year for a person who flies once every two years is way too steep. I’d go for a one time fee of say $10-$15. That’s it. So four stars because the paid version is too expensive. I guess I use the free version for now. In any case, I do love this app.

  • Great app

    I love to use this app to track my flights and family’s flights. Every issues I’ve had with this app has been fixed before I got around to reporting it. I also love the fact that I tells you what kind of plane you will be flying on. Me and brothers always argue about who gets what seat while looking at a seat map. Thank for the amazing app FlightView team! And also thanks for making it free. It’s the best one I’ve used by far.

  • Invaluable application for travelers

    I’ve used this app for several years and have found it invaluable. The app gives up to the minute flight arrival and departure times and gates so you know if the flight you’re tracking is on time. You’ll know quicker than you’ll find out from a gate agent, that’s for sure.

    Many years ago, I traveled weekly so subscribed to the OAG Flight Guide which was about the size of an encyclopedia that I got in the mail monthly. I loved that for trip planning but this app is SOOOO much better for so many more things. My point being that OAG is the definitive source of truth for travelers.

    Thanks OAG for your service and this app!

  • Simply A Necessity

    I have been using this app for many years. It has been an important staple in reference to travel whether I’m actually flying or picking someone else up. I find that it’s also really essential when you need to go to the airport for a departure or arrival.

    It tells you in advance whether the flight is going to be late, when it is landed, and a load of other good information. It even tells you the gate of arrival and departure!

    It will notify you as well of the flight status. So I don’t need to get to the airport and sit for hours because I didn’t know the plane was late. And if it’s early, the same thing applies. If this app charged a fee I would pay it, hands-down.

  • Great app

    I never had an issue using this app. I use it for business and personal travel. It’s keeps me on track and gives me all the pertinent information I need for checking in (such as gate information or changes) to leaving the airport (such as baggage claim information). Many times this information is slowly provided or hard to come by. This app makes it easy to obtain up to date status and on many occasions quicker then the airline employees.

    Another great thing about this app is love ones can track your progress and know that you made it safely to your destination or know when you have arrived so they can pick you up.

  • Does what I need it to

    This is a useful app, it does what I need and helps me keep track of my trips. After adding one trip recently, the flight schedule changed slightly, and the changed times were quickly updated in the app. The airline informed me too, but it was nice to know that the app was keeping track of my flight.

    The only real drawbacks I have is that I wish the interface was nicer for my tablet. It just looks like a phone app blown up for my larger screen, not very attractive on a tablet. Also I wish it had a landscape mode. But these things are minor.

    It would also be nice if they would provide a bit more information about the airports under the “airports” tab - at least an airport map or a link to one, and maybe some info about shops and so forth too.

  • Yikes

    This app has been having more and more issues as time goes on.

    So many times I have flights saying they landed, and their landing time is five+ minutes in the future! I also regularly get notifications that a flight has landed, and then when I open the notification, I have to refresh it multiple times and wait for it to actually update with that information. This often takes up to five minutes. As someone whose job involves meeting flights as they arrive, it decreases the value of this app immensely for me.

    But on a more practical note, the pop up ads they suddenly decided to put on the app make it unbearable. It makes the app lag, makes it harder for me to just take what should be 5 seconds to check the flight into a whole ordeal. ESPECIALLY because the ads have the worlds tiniest Xs for closing them and I frequently accidentally open them. The other stuff I could deal with, but not this. The instant I can find another app that has flight tracking like this one does, I'm deleting this one. It’s not worth the frustration.

  • Best flight tracking!

    FlightView is the fastest and easiest way to track flights. It also provides more accurate information than the actual airline websites. I rely on FlightView for planning on when to pick up my husband from the airport. I also use it to check on when my own flights are scheduled when I don’t get accurate information from the airline sites. It’s a wonderful travel tool and I use it all the time.

  • Love this app

    This app has served me well for several years. It is always accurate and dependable. I was able to track my daughter’s flights to and from Europe and flights for both of my young people as they flew back and forth during college. It also helps me to pick friends and family up from the airport. I will know about delays before the traveler. I highly recommend this app. I only wish it allowed me to forward the information to others who may need the info but do not have the app.

  • Sends me updates before my airline does

    I love this app! I can track mine or loved ones flight status in real time! I’ve literally received notifications from Flight View that my gate has changed before its updated at the gates, themselves. My kids know the minute my plane lands, and can jump in the car and be there to pick me up as I’m walking out of the airport. It’s slick!! No more waiting around or circling the airport.
