Best by far!!
This app does the job exactly as described. No nonsense. Ads are there but hey, the app is free because of those ads. And trust me they are not intrusive or annoying at all. This app allows you to create a trip and put all your flights for that trip in it. Gives you notifications that are very useful. It gives you exact time of every status. I have known about delayed flights before even it shows up on airport tv screens. Must have it even if you travel rarely via airplanes. The weather at both airports and real-time updates are just so well placed and designed. Go for it!!!!Show lessYogiamin
Great app but needs updating (as of summer 2018)
When this first app came out, it did not do a very good job tracking international flights but since then, it’s been great! It’s the best, most up-to-date flight app I’ve tried. It knows when the plane has landed before the airport monitors do! And I love how it will tell you “departed” when the plane leaves the gate, “in air” when it has actually taken off; “landed” when the flight touches down, and “arrived” when the plane is at the gate.
However, about 2 months ago (May 2018) it’s stated having some glitches and wasn’t as accurate as it has been. Flights not updating (said flight was “landed” but not “arrived” for 6 hrs before updated); late on sending notifications (got an alert at 12:59pm that a flight was delayed until 12:56pm, and by then, was already on the plane); can’t always find flight (found 3 out of 4 of my European flights, regardless of the one it couldn’t find being on the airline’s app).
This app hasn’t had an update in 5 months...I’m thinking it’s due!Show lessHidelsc

Hi Hidelsc, Thank you so much for the in-depth review. Hopefully you've downloaded our recent updates and enjoyed the changes we've made. We're dedicated to adding more helpful features to the app and doing so consistently. The flightview team.Go-to app
I’ve flown more than a million and a half miles since I started on the road and I’ve used dozens of apps. Some I really liked, but they aren’t around anymore. So now this is my go-to app for flights. It’s not perfect (no iPad support), but it’s pretty great. It’s the most up-to-the minute app I use (I still use a couple others to track other reservations, hotel, etc.). It shows where your plane is coming from, and let’s you know exactly what’s happening with your plane until it gets to you, and what’s happening when you get on. I haven’t found a better flight app yet, and it’s free.Show lessauldguy
Helpful app
I used to use Flight Tracker but it’s gone. I have replaced it with this app. While not as much info as Flight Tracker this one is free and it works. One thing I wish it could do is enable switching locations (like you can switch the “to” and “from” in map apps). For multiple leg trips this would save a step as you could just switch the “to” to make it “from” and then add the next “from” location. I’d like to see the flight paths of the plane too - like Flight Tracker used to have. All in all, this is a good app and a “must have” for me in addition to the airline’s own app. I use both together when I fly.Show lessVoxProf
A real time wonder!
I have used this on multiple occasions to follow flights that we need to meet for arriving guests, our own departing check ups, & see when my family arrive to their intended destinations. I find it very accurate and a godsend.
I wish there was a way to have reasons given for delays though when they occur. For example: I checked on a flight & it indicated it had departed & was taxiing, but when checked a bit later it indicated it was still on ground & delayed 2 hrs with no explanation.Show lessRobbess
Excellent Application
I am not a flyer but I use this app constantly to follow the flights of family and friends that are very dear to me. My aunt and uncle were killed on a commercial jetliner many years ago and since that time I cannot ride on a plane! Secretly I’d like to stop all my loved ones from doing so but I know that is impossible. The Flightview App is the next best thing to helping me remain at peace and calm while let’s say for example my daughter is flying over the Atlantic on her way to England. Being able to actually see and track the plane in real time while it’s traveling, and giving me updated information helps me to be so much less anxious than I ever would have been had I not had such a tool! Thank you so much for making it possible for me to cope with my fear so much better by providing so much information regarding real flights in real time with the ability to see those flights moving along from destination to destination. It’s really wonderful !!!!Show lessPhobic Flyer!!!

Hi Phobic Flyer, It's really sad to read hear your story and reason for using our app but the development team are truly humbled by the fact the app has helped you cope with your fear and anxiousness even if only in a small way. Hope we continue to do so for many years to come. The flightview team.Someone has wisdom
I am a former subscriber to a paid app for flight tracking. It is no longer in existence. I am an EA and track flights of multiple airlines simultaneously. I am grateful someone had the brains to keep a multi-carrier tracker app alive with many features from individual carrier apps. It is helpful to know where a plane is coming from when you schedule flights or are watching connecting flights. Spare planes are a tad expensive to have sitting parked at airports just waiting to be used so if your inbound flight is departing from a location impacted by weather that connecting flight you need to catch may not happen. Having an ability to see all the puzzle pieces allows me to change flights ahead of the crowds at airports waiting in customer service lines and keep my bosses moving. Even better, knowing where flights come from allows me to choose flights and routes based on point of departure. A Toronto connection is probably wiser in summer versus winter and so on. This app is a tool I depend on. Like anything else it can always provide new and different information but the creators of this app are updating and improving continuously so I have no complaints. Good app to have if you deal with travel to any degree.Show lessSympatico4u
Love this app!
This app has been so useful to my husband and me for keeping track of our flights. I love how it tells me when he’s in the air, tracks his progress and estimates his landing time so I know when to leave to pick him up. Often, the app tells me before the airline does when there’s been a gate change or a delay. We each have the app on our individual devices, but signed into the same account, so we always have the same information without having to input it twice. Thanks for a great app!!Show lessGrammacracker
Used to be great--what happened?
This app used to be great. I used it all the time. So convenient to enter all trips into one app rather than installing 7 different apps. It was great until the flight statuses started being all over the place. A flight that is 5 hours late showing as on time (good thing I found out before heading to the airport to pick someone up). I check and the stats are correct, then I look again a couple of hours later and they are not. I am seeing different flight status on different devices (logged in to the same account) Looking for a replacement. Very disappointed!Show lessCol57893
FlightTrack worked consistently better
I couldn't wait to try this one. I thought if they gave up on FlightTrack, that they must've out done themselves. For usability, this app is garbage. All I want to know is how much frequency city pairs have and the layout is so busy, I have to stare at the screen to figure it out. The free version crashes with some advertisements. It takes way too many taps to find flights and the app defaults to the same blank form every time you switch apps, even if you leave it running. I'm not sure why people so unabashedly rave about it, unless they've never seen this much flight information on one screen before. But we're past the point of that being a surprise, now. Other apps can do it.Show lessRunnerss
