  • Amazing!

    This app is one of the coolest apps I’ve ever seen. It is so user friendly and it is REALLY accurate. I’ve used it twice, once to track an international trip and just recently to track a domestic trip and both times I have been throughly satisfied with the set up, the notifications, the map and the information given on the “details” section. I’m a very nervous flyer, to a point where I feel nervous for my loved ones to fly and using this app genuinely gives me a huge piece of mind because I know that I can see accurate information on my families flights. I would recommend this app to anyone!!

  • It works! Thanks!!

    I’ve been using FlightView for many years, and also used FlightAware too. But I choose to make FlightView my final app. It’s free and accurate down to the moment the plane lands! Gives the delays, weather, and a map to follow plane in air. So many well planned features. One suggestion: I like to keep past flight records. Can you find a way to pull them out of the list of flights? It tells me my next trip is in August but the year was 2014!! I’m not a time traveler. Ha!! Thanks for a fix on this...

  • Extremely Helpful for anyone who uses air travel

    Must Use this app if you fly or have friends or family who do. I find this app so useful anytime I am flying, when anyone in my family is flying, when I have guests arriving by airplane. If you have to go to any airport this app is so helpful as it keeps you updated with the status of the flight you are tracking continuously. You know what Gate, when it’s boarding, taking off, taxing, if it’s delayed, on time, etc...
    Don’t fly without it.
    Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the app information doesn’t sometimes easily text the right information, unless I just screen shot, to others. I’d like to have an option for the flight to link directly into my calendar (Google or Apple). That would be wonderful. Thanks.

  • Most useful app when flying

    With this app, you don’t need to look at the airport flight displays because Flight View shows the same information. You will know if your flight is delayed before leaving for the airport. You will know if there has been a change of gates. You will know the weather at your destination. It even links you to airport information. It makes flying easier.

  • 5 originally, now 3

    I have had this app on my phone for about two years, using it occasionally. I was very happy with it and, had I reviewed it I would’ve given it five stars. No longer. In the past two weeks it has shown me two major major flaws.

    I was planning on meeting a friend flying into Washington DC from London. About half an hour before the flight was due to land the app warned that it was being diverted to Philadelphia. So I made plans for a pick up of my friend there. It kept showing Philadelphia as the new landing point for the next 24 hours. In fact the plane landed in Baltimore and the details of this were never posted.

    Then, a couple of days ago I was watching my sister’s flight from Iceland to New York. She was booked on WOW airlines. Unfortunately the carrier went bankrupt the day before she was due to fly and she was forced to scramble to get another ticket. No matter that all planes were grounded, this app showed flights taking off and landing at on time at Newark. good thing I didn’t go to meet her.

  • Very reliable app!

    I’ve been using this app to track flights the of family members for quite some time now. I’m happy to say that it is still just as easy to use and helpful as it was when I first downloaded it. They only make changes when necessary, which is nice because I’m so over having to relearn other apps who constantly make too many changes too often. Love this app!

  • Great app

    I’ve only used this app on occasion for personal flights and when picking up friends and family. I use to dread going to the airport for pickups and waiting for a call but with this app it’s a cinch! Long gone are the days of calling the airline and figuring out how to check flight schedules and arrival times. I used a couple other apps before but after I used this one I would say It’s the perfect app for flight tracking, everything here is easy to track and it’s fun, it feels like I’m the air traffic controller watching the plane as it arrives! Highly recommend

  • Magical app combats delays with fiction

    I’m not sure what’s going on with this app. It has been my reliable go-to for tracking multiple flights when family gets together. Twice this weekend, however, it has posted a false status for my flight.

    Two days ago we circled Chicago rather than landing, but this app showed us as “landed” even though we were still over Lake Michigan. We actually landed 30 min after the app said we did.

    Currently, our flight is delayed. There is no airplane even at our gate. 10 min ago, however, this app notified me that my flight had departed. The skies apparently are perfect through the rose-colored glasses of this tracker. Of course, if they were, we wouldn’t need a tracker app. And I may be in the market for a more accurate one.

  • First Time User-not impressed

    Well, I just downloaded this app to track my husband’s flight from San Francisco to Toronto. It took forever to update. It said “departed” for almost 30 minutes and then finally said “in air” and showed that it departed at 8:21 when actually it departed at 7:53. I downloaded another tracker app also to test them out, and the other one (Flight Tracker) was more accurate. This one is currently showing that it’s barely entering Nevada when it’s actually almost to Utah. This app hasn’t been updated for six months...I think it’s due for one.

    UPDATE: It’s working a little better today during his flight home. But it probably should be updated to be more efficient.

  • Almost perfect

    I’ve used this app for several years now and have to say it does everything flawlessly. Never crashed, flight information is accurate, and the interface is simple and elegant.

    One change I would like to see made is the option to present times based on my location instead of the destination. Destination time is great if I’m the one traveling, but if I’m tracking someone else then I’d rather see everything based on my local time.
