### 2/5 — Features not working

*2023-08-13, version 4.0.17*

I’ve had this app for years. Used to be good. Haven’t flown in a couple years so haven’t used it much until lately. I see there hasn’t been an update in a while. Flight maps don’t work anymore.

### 4/5 — Not as great as it used to be.

*2023-05-26*

For some reason, with one of my phone updates, the map no longer tracks flights. While I love the information this gives me, I end up using another app to track flights, because I also like to track a flight with the map location.

### 1/5 — Map Tracking Feature Doesn’t Work.

*2023-02-02, version 4.0.17*

For the last year or so, I’ve been experiencing a problem with the Map Feature that tracks a flight from Airport Departure to Airport Arrival. 

I’ve complained to the FlightView App’s Customer Service to no avail. I even complained to their parent company OAG, also to no avail. 

I very disappointed since I paid for the Elite version and because I use this App frequently as I pick up and drop off people at Airports regularly. 

When Map Featured worked, this App was great and a very useful tool. 

Can someone from FlightView fix this for me?? 

I have an iPhone 12 ProMax with iOS 16.3.

### 2/5 — great app, but some weird issues...

*2023-01-30, version 4.0.17*

I have been wondering why the map view in Flightview Elite hasn't been working for a long time anymore. It takes half the fun away from the app! whats been going on there? hasn't worked in more than a year now on my iOS app. thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2022-12-22, version 4.0.17*

It keeps me informed of not only my own travels but of family members as well. Great tool for my own peace of mind.

### 1/5 — Map function has not worked in months

*2022-12-01, version 4.0.17*

When is the developer going to correct the map issue? For months now the map function of this app has not worked at all. Up until then it was a decent app and I used it constantly but I’m only giving it a one star rating because the developer obviously is not concerned enough about keeping the app in working order

### 2/5 — Used to be spotless…

*2022-10-19, version 4.0.17*

The map mode has not worked in a long time… it used to correctly overlap the actual flight path with radar… and now they want more money for the new subscription based app, even though I purchased this a long time ago!! Long time user here…

### 3/5 — It’s Got Bugs

*2022-09-30, version 4.0.17*

This used to be a solid app. Now, the in-air map doesn’t work, the app info takes a long time to update when opening. I still wish that on the main page where all of my trips are listed that there was a way to collapse it to see just the names of the trips and expand one trip at a time.

**Developer response:** Hello nursenancy23, we've reverted the font change, please update to the latest version - the flightview team.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2022-08-22, version 4.0.17*

Been disappointed since this new black interface. When I open the app it seems like it sometimes flashes a few times while it’s updating. Maps no longer seem to load for me

### 3/5 — What Happened?

*2022-07-27, version 4.0.17*

I use to love this all but now when I click on the map, nothing comes up. I like looking to see where the plane is when my daughter comes to visit.  So until that’s fixed, I give it three stars.
