### 4/5 — British Airways

*2020-09-13, version 2.2.0*

Excellent 👌🏻👌🏻

### 3/5 — Good , but...

*2019-10-02, version 1.7*

Good app as far as I can tell. I haven't used it extensively but I have noticed that the arrival weather is wrong with no way of correcting or adjusting.

### 4/5 — FlightTracker

*2019-08-27, version 1.7*

Really starting to like the app. Works well with international flights, however you have to realize you can only get information three times before it locks you out unless of course you pay or write a review. Overall though I think it’s a workable app.

### 3/5 — Mixed feelings

*2018-12-06, version 1.6*

Second time using app
Looked at departing flight swa956
I know It's going mht to BWI 9am to 1035
App says 1120 to fla... possibly a later flight......
Why is mine missing?

### 3/5 — Worked well, until it didn’t

*2018-10-13, version 1.6*

Apparently the developer of this app Ned’s to upgrade/ update their software.

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2018-03-05, version 1.6*

Great little App that provides me with all the flight tracker info I need! Tells me when, where and if a flight is on time. Means I time my airport runs/collections to perfection!!

### 2/5 — Flight tracker

*2018-01-19, version 1.6*

Need to update!! Now

### 4/5 — Useful app

*2018-01-10, version 1.6*

Too early to tell much. App stopped working after several "refreshes" of a particular flight. Up to that point app worked fine. For me, chief attraction of this app is it runs on iPhone 4, even tho it's 2018.  Glad such functional backwardly compatible apps can still be found.

### 4/5 — Pretty impressive

*2017-12-11, version 1.6*

Simple as anything to use - great when you're in a hurry

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2017-11-12, version 1.6*

I paid for the full version and I feel it's a waste of money 
My wife's flight is still listed as delayed but if you look at the website it had taken off long ago.
Despite refreshing & restarts it doesn't reflect what the flight is going!

### 5/5 — Flight Tracker

*2017-09-20, version 1.6*

Excellent

### 4/5 — Good info!

*2017-09-18, version 1.6*

Works decent, sometimes a bit delayed!

### 5/5 — Works as described

*2017-09-12, version 1.6*

Got this to track a future flight to see how often it's on time. This app works without any problems on iPad Air.  I plan to continue to use it.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2018-08-22, version 1.6*

Why you guys don’t update this app? It Doesn’t work anymore

### 1/5 — It updated for iOS 11

*2018-03-19, version 1.6*

I use this when flying to Che k in my flights but it has not been updated to work with the latest Apple iOS! Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Ticked off!

*2018-02-27, version 1.6*

Update to work with OS 11.

### 1/5 — Was good but cannot use it now

*2018-02-12, version 1.6*

I used to use this app quite a lot before and loved it. I have apple devices and have been unable to use this app because the developer needs to update it to work with IOS 11 and higher. Unfortunately the developer has not done that.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOs11. Hasn’t been updated for 4 years.

*2018-01-28, version 1.6*

Doesn’t work with iOs11.  Hasn’t been updated for 4 years.

### 1/5 — Needs an upgrade.

*2017-11-06, version 1.6*

I purchased the full version of this app as my children were traveling and it’s an easy way to keep a check on their flights. Now it won’t work at all with the new iPhone. 
Please upgrade this app!!!

### 1/5 — Irresponsible no update

*2017-10-09, version 1.6*

This app is irresponsible as it has not made it possible to work with iOS 11

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2017-09-05, version 1.6*

Not cool saying you need to purchase after using 3 times. =(

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-07-26, version 1.6*

I have used another flight tracking app for years, thought I would try this one. Out of the box, a poor start. I would not recommend it as it is not intuitive and is a bit of a hassle. I can't even tell about the frequency of update because I can't get into it.

### 1/5 — 3 flight searches a day!

*2017-07-19, version 1.6*

Absolutely rubbish. Only 3 flight searches a day! Had to refresh for a delayed flight I was waiting for and got that message! What a waste of time. Not happy 😤

Easy to use and it provides the information I need quickly and accurately. Nice when something works as promised.

### 5/5 — App is better than online

*2020-12-19, version 2.2.0*

Flight tracker’s time matched the airline time and is a whole lot easier to navigate.

### 5/5 — Flight tracker

*2020-10-10, version 2.2.0*

We really enjoy this app.  We can see takeoff time, the climb out, cruising altitude, air speed, then the let down, etc.  We follow the flight right to the ground.  When on final approach, we switch to 3D mode and can see the airport.

### 5/5 — Very convenient.

*2019-11-02, version 1.7*

Perfect for coordinating airport departures and connections and arrivals. It really helps to know exactly when the flight is leaving and landing when you need to coordinate a ride to and from the airport.

*2018-01-29, version 1.6*

Always helps out where ever I go, or when I have to pick someone up

I find this app. To be just what I need to track my companies aircraft. It helps me plan my fueling and departires

Great way to double-check flight info provided by airlines.

### 5/5 — It works just Great, all over the world!

It works just Great, all over the world! To say the least, it has been a great, handy time saver for me! Bravo and please add more improvements!
