It is not listed so I wasted my time and data on this non useful app. ### 1/5 — Totally useless! *2015-12-15, version 2214* The maps of the terminals snap back to a home position when zoomed in. There's zero details anyway, not even gate numbers! According to this app, there is ONE airport in Canada, and that's in Halifax. Don't waste your time with this, it's just awful in every way. ### 2/5 — My Most Traveled Airports *2015-11-28, version 2214* Unfortunately, their database was not as extensive as I had hoped it would be. My favorite airports were not included in their maps. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2015-05-04, version 2204* I got this to save time and the old information led me the wrong direction out of my way. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2014-11-22, version 2202* A total waste of time. ### 2/5 — Needs tons of work *2014-10-14, version 2202* Missing the last three airports I've been to this week. No Dallas Love Field, San Diego California, or Denver. ### 1/5 — Only 100 US Airports! *2014-07-17, version 2202* No help to me as it doesn't map the 3 United States airports I'll be using. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2014-07-03, version 2202* This is by far the worst app I have ever downloaded. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2013-11-27, version 2034* App wouldn't open ### 1/5 — Barely have any cities *2013-10-15, version 2034* Blech. ### 1/5 — Doesn't have that many airports in US *2013-10-14, version 2034* Kind of incomplete ### 1/5 — Forget it! *2013-09-06, version 2034* Crammed full of ads for crap. Maps are in low-resolution, and difficult to navigate. Yes there is a lot of information but it is extremely hard to navigate. This is an example of a very un-elegant application. Better to use the maps in the in-flight magazines. ### 1/5 — Not on iPhone 5 *2013-07-30, version 2034* Doesn't work on iPhone 5. Crashes on opening. ### 1/5 — No NY airports??? *2013-04-17, version 2024* I downloaded this app, and under the United States selections there is not ONE New York area airport. Unbelievable. ### 3/5 — Has gates; has bugs *2013-03-31, version 2024* I got this app because I wanted to find gate locations within the airport. It has this information but it is hard to find and has bugs. For SFO, an airport that I use a lot, the gates are shown under "boarding areas" listed a-g. The terminals are 1-3 plus international. It does not tell you which of the boarding area go with which terminals or which gates are in each boarding area. Because I am familiar with the airport, I know that United has terminal 3 and that is boarding area F. The actual boarding area shown when you select F is area A (which is also shown in its correct place under A)..if you do find your correct boarding area, the gate numbers are small and difficult to read on my phone (iPhone 5). On the terminal overview it shows parking areas a-g. If you knew that parking area correlate with terminals, although more than one letter can go with a terminal as there are 7 letters and only 4 terminals, you could figure out the one or two "boarding areas" that go with your terminal and then could probably find your gate (assuming you are not looking for boarding are F at SFO). So, if you really want to find your gate location and are willing to spend some time, you might find it on this app. I couldn't find another app that has gate numbers. If you find one, I would try it before this one as it is likely to be better. ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-01-05, version 2016* Canada has only one airport (Halifax) and Chicago O'Hare maps are not legible. No point to download this app. ### 3/5 — Need more airports *2012-08-22, version 2002* Looking for Detroit, Philadelphia and New Bern. None of the 3 available yet. ### 1/5 — Did not have Philadelphia airport *2012-08-17, version 2002* Did have the airport I needed. But at least I did not have to pay to find that out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2019-11-15, version 2216* Keeps crashing doesn’t make sense how it is still up in App Store ### 1/5 — No good airports listed. *2019-08-07, version 2216* Not very many airports. I just flew to 4 airports and none were in the app. Denver, Salt Lake, St. Louis, Las Vegas. But Valdosta is. I don’t even know where it is. ### 1/5 — Not at all comprehensive *2019-04-10, version 2216* Waste of time. Uk does nor even show Heathrow! ### 1/5 — Useless! Don’t bother! *2019-03-25, version 2216* Offers a what appear to just be images of maps from airport authority websites which you need to zoom in so far it’s easy to loose track of where you’re starting and where you’re going. Bizarre selection of airports! For example, JNU but not SEA? No disrespect to Juneau, but JNU isn’t exactly a complicated airport to navigate. Surely the selection of Canadian airports would include, at a minimum YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC, right? WRONG! Only YHZ. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2018-04-12, version 2216* Doesn't work at all. Crashes when opening any map. Don't waste your time on this one. ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2017-12-05, version 2216* Normally I don’t leave poor reviews. However, this app had me so excited and I thought it would be my answer to finding gates easy, dining, shopping, restrooms. Well, Maps are distorted and semi blurry when you zoom in on them. Maps are not complete like Miami. It has such potential to be the greatest Airport app out there. Needs better coding. Needs clarity in Maps, Needs more details. Needs {{{YOU ARE HERE FROM GPS. }}} Get back with me when you clean this app up! ### 1/5 — Too limited *2016-11-19, version 2214* Few airports covered ### 1/5 — Not useful *2016-09-28, version 2214* Could not read the entire FFL map no matter how I pinched and zoomed. ### 1/5 — ...meh...*press delete* *2016-08-26, version 2214* It regroups the maps under country and they don't feature China!...But they do have Croatia*!!! *Note: I have nothing against Croatia, it's just under the "C" section and China is like...Just a...Tiny...Bit bigger. Right? ### 1/5 — Airport-maps *2016-06-18, version 2214* Just downloaded from App Store. 2 local major airports missing, PHL @ JFK. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazingly Informative App *2014-05-10, version 2202* I travel heavily, averaging roughly six countries, eleven or so states and a bunch of provinces. So, this app was welcome news. Now I know that the second largest country on the planet has one small airport in an extremely remote part of the nation. I never knew that. I immediately went to the index to find just one airport map of any airport I have been in for the past several years. Interestingly, not a single one is still there. Clearly a lot of airports are being razed around the world. I didn't know that either. It looks like next year I will have to stay home as at this rate there won't be any airports left. Luckily I now have this handy app to show me the maps for every major airport in California. Clearly, if one admits it to oneself, there really is no point in going anywhere else anyway, so of course those maps are the only ones you will ever need. Particularly the one in San Francisco. ### 5/5 — Great !! *2013-05-01, version 2024* A great app ! Congratulations ! ### 5/5 — Great tool to have *2012-07-06, version 1501* Great ### 5/5 — Perfect use of an app! *2012-05-24, version 1501* When i need information on the fly, the only tool i have is my iPhone. And having this app is essential when i'm stuck at an airport new to me. This app prides itself on its reliability -- i need it and i trust it. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excelent *2012-03-22, version 14* Excellent ### 5/5 — Good *2012-03-14, version 14* It is a good apps ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2012-01-26, version 14* Muy buena aplicación, útil y practica. 100% recomendable. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-11-27, version 12* Wish you show the runways. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-11-24, version 12* This is good and can be better in the future, ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2011-11-03, version 10.12* Otimo --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
