The other app called LightSpeed doesn’t work though. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2025-07-23, version 3.0.2* I don’t use this much, but when I have it’s worked great at recording everything my headset takes in. ### 2/5 — Recording *2025-03-20, version 3.0.2* Only records my voice and not atc. ### 1/5 — Worst airline ever *2024-01-01, version 3.0.2* Do not flight in flight link is the worse airline I ever been. They have tricky policies and they will try to scam you. They gave us the incorrect amount of money trying to charge us fees. They try to charge us more than twice the cost of the tickets. Worst customer expirience ever. Worst aircraft very unprofesional. Go to other airline like presicion air. Do not trust this company ### 4/5 — Great sound *2023-02-22, version 3.0.2* Great sound and comfort but the flight link app only records my voice, what can I do to correct that? ### 1/5 — Files disappear and don’t transfer *2022-11-24, version 3.0.2* I attempted to transfer the audio from my sons first flight to make a video, however it just disappeared while attempting to transfer the audio file. ### 1/5 — What a load of crap *2022-11-22, version 3.0.2* Hit record and went on a 2 hr flight. At the end of the flight I went to check out the recording and when I reopened the app it said another app shut it down. I got 17 seconds of the engine running from the ambient mic. Zero from the comms. Waste of space on my devices. ### 3/5 — Good concept, only recording my voice *2022-08-17, version 3.0.2* This is a great concept, and a feature that (with a few others) steered me away from Bose. However, I can only get it to record my voice, not all transmissions trough the headset. Is that a fix? ### 1/5 — Quits *2022-01-25, version 3.0.1* App has not worked since I purchased the headsets and downloaded the app. It quits after 2 seconds with the message, “Recording Stopped - the recording was stopped by another application”. There is nothing in the faq section about this. I have no other applications running Bluetooth. I bought these headsets because of the app. ### 1/5 — Zulu 3 with audio cable to iPhone/app *2021-11-28, version 3.0.1* Don’t waste you time on this app. The recordings simply disappear without a trace. ## Frequently asked questions about FlightLink ### What does FlightLink do?
