### 2/5 — Airline Codes

*2024-11-16, version 2024.19*

You can’t search for an airline code. For example, my company booked me a flight on CX979. I want to know what airline that is. A search for CX yields nothing, even though that data is present in the app. Seems like an easy fix.

### 1/5 — Was great before the last update

*2023-11-16, version 2023.11*

This was a wonderful app before the last update to 6.9. The previous version had a wonderful graphical presentation.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-11-08, version 2023.09*

When you open it searches and auto closes. Not very helpful

### 1/5 — This app crashed every times

*2023-10-09, version 2023.09*

This app crashed every times when I opened it on my iPhone 12 mini at least one year already, I thought the developer would fixed it afterwards however it doesn’t until now.
Please fix it.
Otherwise, this is really not that bad.

### 3/5 — By an aviation enthusiast

*2023-08-05, version 2023.09*

Air codes is a great app for aviation enthusiasts like myself however a lot of the features you need to pay for. Plus the cost that you need to pay is in euros and I do not understand euros

### 3/5 — Payment

*2023-07-19, version 2023.09*

You now have to pay to access features of this once 'free' app..:(

### 3/5 — Force closing

*2023-04-11, version 2023.05*

Since over 3 months ago now the app is force closing, I reported this when I was using iPhone SE now I changed the phone to iPhone 13… it still force closing 
Kindly correct

### 5/5 — Developer fixed the problem

*2023-03-22, version 2023.02*

I had a problem with the flight status of the previous version. I contacted the developer and he did the necessary to fix the problem. This is a developer who supports his excellent program.

### 4/5 — Great App but crashing lately

*2023-03-19, version 2023.02*

The last two updates the App started to crash on loading. Please sort it out. 

IPhone 12 Pro, latest IOS

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-03-13, version 2023.01*

I love this app but why flight status is not working
