What's New in Flight Update Pro

9.6.6

September 16, 2026

*** Version 9.6.6*** (mid Sep 2026) * Added an alert when a search by route is beyond 13 months into the future. * Other minor fixes/improvements. Back in April of 2020 we added additional measures to our flight status servers to detect when a flight has been cancelled to give you more advanced notice. Because of the pandemic, flight cancellations have been more frequent and it was clear this addition was necessary. If you ever have any comments, complaints or compliments, please go into the Prefs screen within the app and tap the "Email the Author" field. You will always get a response in a timely fashion HIGHLIGHTS of SOME of the RECENT PAST UPDATES: *** Version 9.6.5*** (early June 2026) * Fixed issues when searching for flights by route on an iPad. *** Version 9.6.4*** (early June 2026) * Improved some screens for iPad * Some additional improvements to toolbars *** Version 9.6.2*** (late May 2026) * Improved toolbar display under iOS 26 * Improved display of aircraft model * Miscellaneous minor improvements *** Version 9.6.1 *** (mid May 2026) * Added new terminal maps for SAN and SLC * Minor bug fixes * iOS 26 saavy *** Version 9.6.0 *** (late February 2026) * Searching for flights by Route will now always include the ability to filter by "Duration," "Departure" or "Arrival." * Fixed an issue when searching alternates for a flight departing in a different time zone than your current location where sometimes not all flights were displayed. * Fixed a rare issue when searching for alternates did not always show flight duration correctly. * Minor bug fixes. *** Version 9.5.0 *** (late January 2026) * Added "next day" (and similar) to flights within the Flight List view when a flight is landing on a different day than it departed on * Update screens to better display navigation bar when in dark mode * Now prevent pasting flight numbers that contain alpha characters (flight numbers are always numeric only) * Better handling of onboarding new users * Better handling of some informational screen regarding status of subscription * Other minor bug fixes and UI improvements *** Version 9.2.0 *** (early April 2025) * Incorporated new aircrafts types and seating charts * Added "next day" indication in flight list * Other minor UI improvements * BIG NEW FEATURE * *** Version 9.0.0 *** (mid February 2025) * Now Flight Update Pro allows you to search flights by route that are not direct, also known as Multi-Leg flights or Connections. Every user can trial it at any time and can do up to 5 multi-leg flight searches prior to requiring a subscription to multi-leg flight searches. * We use an algorithm that finds ONLY the best connecting flights. ** This new feature has also been incorporated into the "Alternates" screens. This is incredibly useful in quickly finding an alternate where there are no more direct flights available for the day ** *** Version 8.4.0 *** (early January 2025) * App no longer immediately requests permission to send push notifications for new users when first launching the app. * Improves flight status details displayed after landing. * User interface improvements and minor bug fixes. *** Version 8.3.1 *** (early July 2024) * Properly updates "mirrored" Calendar entry immediately upon the app detecting a flight schedule has changed. * Updates to some older terminal maps * When searching for your "Inbound aircraft to your gate" the city it originated from is now shown * Some other smaller bug fixes ** Version 8.0.0 ** (mid July '23) * Introduced two new Push Notification options (see in Prefs) * Enhanced push notification messages ** Version 7.60 ** (late July '21) * Improved support for diverted flights. Interestingly, there are flights diverted every day that our customers are tracking and we wanted to improve support for this. This also included changes to our servers too

Really good App w/unbelievably good App Support

title really says it all. I've had this app for a long time and I've come to rely on it for tracking flights for my wife and ourselves several times throughout the year. The updates on flight delay delays gate changes departure and arrival times have all been pretty timely. I've never had an issue with the app until literally yesterday. And the issue really wasn't so much with the app as it was with the subscription renewal process. I sent a note to the app author, Scott, and he responded quickly and walked me through some steps to get it resolved. It did take about a day but in the end he managed to get it resolved very quickly. Thank you for that.

Pretty good app

Tracks flights and allows for backup into the cloud. All I need.

Great app, but one area in accessible

Please could you fix Calendar access for VoiceOver users? Although you can navigate between months and years VoiceOver does not read the actual date?? As a visually impaired user this is a showstopper using the app because you can’t insert return flight dates. It will accept the outgoing date based on the itinerary. This is an amazing app. I just wish this issue would be resolved.

Incorrect Terminal Information – Please Update

I am using your app to track my flight (Frankfurt → Ashgabat, 19/08/2026, Turkmenistan Airlines). Your app shows Terminal 2, but according to the official Fraport Frankfurt Airport website, the correct terminal is Terminal 3.

Please check and update your data source to avoid confusion for passengers. Incorrect terminal information can cause serious issues, especially for those traveling at night or using the SkyLine which has limited operating hours.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
