### 5/5 — impressive

*2026-08-29*

good

### 2/5 — Not great yet

*2026-08-27*

The app has a very nice design, but the functionality leaves a lot to be desired. For example the app rarely if ever pulls up automatically the inbound aircraft, and despite allowing me to add the information (tail number) manually, which I get from flighradar24, the app does nothing with it. 

So delays are rarely predicted accurately because the app just doesn't have the right information.

**Developer response:** Thanks!

Can you please reach out to connect@byairapp.com? We’d like to investigate!

### 5/5 — A Great Free Alternative to Flighty!

*2026-08-23*

I used to have App in the Air, but sadly, it shut down. 😢

I then switched to Flighty, which is a great app, but most of its features require a subscription. I used Flighty for about a year, but I eventually realised it wasn’t going to work for me.

So I started looking for other flight trackers and discovered byAir. It has many of the features I loved about Flighty, but they’re available for free! You can also save your flight history directly to your phone.

I’d definitely recommend byAir to anyone looking for a great flight tracker, especially if you’re an aviation geek! ✈️

Definitely one of the best flight-tracking apps out there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Developer response:** Thanks for the love and for trusting our app - we promise to keep making it even better for you. Safe travels! ✈️😊

### 5/5 — Better than Flighty

*2026-08-23*

Excellent app, I had an emergency flight which the app quickly picked up. Flighty however had no record of it… UI is amazing. Very good!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and feedback. We're delighted you're loving the app and truly appreciate your support. We promise to make it even better for you!

### 4/5 — Приложение хорошее, но есть к чему стремиться

*2026-08-17*

Очень радует, что можно бесплатно импортировать историю полета из других приложений без ограничений. В последних обновлениях сделали красивую ID с перелетами. Но есть недочеты: время перелета не синхронизируется после добавления (например изменилось время вылета, но в приложении отображается старое). Также было некорректное отображение времени фактического вылета и посадки самолета.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте,

Спасибо за отзыв.

По всем этим проблемам пожалуйста напишите нам в поддержку внутри приложения или в connect@byairapp.com :)

Мы обязательно разберемся!

### 5/5 — Best app for flying!

*2026-08-14, version 2.38.5*

I love this app, so much, I only just got it and it is amazing. But, just a feature request, could you add a feature where you can see if it has wifi, the wifi name, and maybe other stuff?

### 1/5 — Good app but....

*2026-08-12*

All is locked behind pay wall. Even the notifications flighty gives but this app blocks for what reason?

**Developer response:** Some advanced features require a subscription because reliable flight data, development, and support are costly. If basic tracking isn’t working for you, please contact us at connect@byairapp.com or in the app - we’ll be happy to help

### 5/5 — Top Notch App

*2026-08-05*

The customer service is exceptional.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the love and for trusting our app - we promise to keep making it even better for you. Safe travels! ✈️😊

### 5/5 — Perfecto

*2026-08-02*

Они есть, можно добавить возможность увидеть схему посадочных мест или видеть свой уровень программ лояльности например Aeroflot Bonus. Добавьте больше функций из flighty. Everything is very good, add ability to see your seat map and status in loyalty programs. Add hotel stays and train rides with carriage, class/room type and number

**Developer response:** Спасибо большое за отзыв и фидбек по фичам, которых вам не хватает. Мы постараемся включить их в ближайшие обновления! ✈️😊

### 5/5 — Love it - App in the Air Alternative

*2026-07-31*

Love using this app. I used to be a user of App in the Air up until it shut down and I had struggled trying to find a similar alternative to it. I came across byAir and it is so similar to App in the Air but a little bit cooler.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the love and for trusting our app - we promise to keep making it even better for you. Safe travels! ✈️😊
