Used to be great

I have used the app for 10 years. The ads are ridiculous, but I’m that frequent a traveler so I can deal with them. But now I keep getting errors when trying to save a flight to a trip. It’s happened multiple times in the last month.

Not the most reliable

It’s not very reliable. Gate numbers don’t update. And departure times update way late.

can no longer add flight

"Failed to save your changes" is all i get when adding a flight to a trip.

This used to be great. Until it wasn't.

Broken Now

This app has been the cornerstone of my traveling. All of a sudden, I cannot save flights. Please fix it soon.

Too many intrusive ads

FlightView has been my goto flight tracker for many years. Impressive, intuitive, yet simple and powerful but recently format changes, lost triplogs, intrusive pop-up ads have severely affected this app.

Not dependable

The app crashes, it won't save changes when I try to add flights. I used to love it but the update is full of bugs. Waste of time.

Wasteland

Just like everyone else. Used this for years. It was the best. Finally broke down and paid the subscription fee and ta-da, the app has devolved into junk. Notifications of tracked flight are hit and miss. Can’t add a flight to an itinerary to save your life. Congrats! Subscription cancelled.

What has happened to this?

What happened to alerts? This app used to be simple to use and very helpful. The flight status alerts were what set this one apart. Now they don’t work. What happened??

Broken

Attempting to save a flight to a trip now says, “Failed to save your changes.”

Ads are sometimes over 30 seconds. I understand the need to run them, but when you’re traveling, ads that run for a long time and require 3, 4, and sometimes 5 taps while waiting for the close buttons to appear is too big a barrier to allow this app to be useful even if it did work.

And “for security reasons,” you now have to create an account and login in order to use the app. Please explain to me how giving your email address and a password to this developer makes it more secure than it was before when you could use it anonymously.

Ads Are Awful & Not Removed For Paid Removal

This app was much better several years ago. The information provided is not as complete as it used to be and worst of all the ads are terrible and on for a very long time. I paid their fee of $24.99 to remove the ads in April and it's now June and they still have not removed the ads and have not responded to my queries about the problem. No customer support at all will find another app to replace it. The absolute worst!!! Don't waste your time with this loser. Reading all the many terrible reviews it's beyond mind boggling that the app developers do not address the disaster they created with the latest"down" date. They took the very best flight tracking app that I've used for years and made it the absolute worst and don't seem to care about the numerous complaints about it or do anything about it. Even their "App Contact" link doesn't work - Mind boggling!!!

New version is horrible

I wish I could downgrade my version of the app. The old version was touch friendly. Before when you clicked into the flight number field it would automatically change your keypad to numbers, now it doesn’t do that. Before when you clicked into the carrier field, it would show all the companies you’ve search before, now it doesn’t do that. Before you use to be able to see the map route of a flight before the flight took off, now the map only shows when the flight is in there air. Everything about the update now is not user friendly. I wish I had the ability to revert back to the old version of the app. Please do better.

PLEASE FIX YOUR APP!!!!

**REVIEW UPDATE**

THE ISSUES BELOW HAVE FINALLY BEEN RESOLVED AFTER MANY MONTHS OF DJT AIRPORT NOT WORKING..

App is awesome, just wish it didn’t take the developers so long to make updates..

Previous issues that took months to fix:

DJT (formerly PBI) is no longer in their data base and you cannot search flights into and out of this airport 😞

This app used to be my favorite one for looking up flights. Not long ago I purchased the “paid” app for one year, since I loved it so much and didn’t want the ads. Now that they changed the format, it has been TERRIBLE. I continually try to contact support for feedback and suggestions but every email fails to send and gets kicked back to me.

Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this feature back to the app:

1) When searching a flight, the ability to flip-flop departure and arrival airports has gone away. This is a must have feature.

I’ve tried to email their support and it always kicks my email back as an invalid email address…


THIS APP IS FINALLY GREAT AGAIN!!!! 🇺🇸

Was the best now the worst

Been using this app for years. Had the free version and was awesome, so I finally broke down and paid for it, and I’m so sorry I did. Not sure if it sold or what happened but I’ve seen a team work so hard to destroy an app.

I’m on the road 50 weeks a year and relied on this app for everything. Now it’s garbage that doesn’t work, won’t even let me enter a fight. Wish I could get my money back

The old app would remember the airline, so on a round trip if I put Delta in the first leg, it was there for the return, but these geniuses decided that was too helpful, and surely most people take a different airline for each leg so let’s not do that.

The old app, when you set up the trip would carry the date over, so if you were setting up a trip for Next week it would auto populate the first day of the trip when you were entering flights, but once again that was too helpful so no matter what day you say the trip starts, when you go
To enter a flight it defaults to the day you’re doing it, cause I’m Sure there are times your taking a flight before the day you said the trip starts

And if they hadn’t ruined it enough, they gave is all the big middle finger and
Now it just won’t let you enter any flights at all! Just says Failed to save changes. Have contacted them twice and
Not getting anywhere. Don’t buy this app, don’t use this app

Love it but …

Love this app — been using it for years. I have had info about flight delays even before the flight attendants on occasion.
I understand the need for ads, but don’t like the scam ads that want to make you think you have been infected by a virus. Also a lot of the ads are persistent and you have to close the app to clear them. Annoying!

Used to be a good app

This used to be a good app however now it constantly crashes.
Won’t even show flights in and out of West Palm Beach. Keep your politics out!!

Worst decline in an app ever

If I could give it a lower rating than one star, I would. The fact that it’s a premium paid subscription, and they have removed so much functionality, is a sin.

Worst slide from best to worst app in history. It is complicated to add flights. For example, even if you set up a trip with a start and end date, when you go to add flights, they all default to today's date. And every flight you add, you have to assign it to the trip. It should default to the current trip you just set up. Also, if you have an error, like you forgot to change the date when you were setting up the flight, YOU CAN'T EDIT IT! You have to delete that flight and start from scratch.

The biggest takaway, though, is that you used to be able to email an itinerary and FlightView would load it. Now it's all manual.

I was an early adopter of this app, but I have just cancelled my subscription and removed it from my phone.

What happened to FlightView???

Years ago, this was the best flight app. It was so good that I paid to upgrade to FlightView Elite, which unfortunately is no longer available. The current FlightView app is buggy and often gives me a “Failed to save flight” message. Even when it does save a flight, it fails to send me alerts. Why would a company take a once great app and make it so unreliable?
