### 4/5 — Maps Not Available

*2023-08-12*

Used FlightView for years & it’s great. Only concern is that “Maps” tab no longer works. Flights in progress are no longer shown in maps; it’s simply blank. Any remedy to earn that 5th star?

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2023-08-05*

I have used Flightview Plus for a longtime and really had no problems, until now. My wife recently flew to see her son, so naturally I entered her flight info, but lo and behold, the map section no longer works. I thought perhaps an upgrade was needed, so I reloaded Flightview Plus, so I thought. It was some other version, maybe Flightview 2023. The map section works but now I have to fight my way through a click bait ad that starts up and no easy way to get rid of it.  It’s either live with no maps or time to move on.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2023-06-11*

It has always work for me. When flight are delayed it respond quickly, so far. I’ve been for years. But now I can’t see where the airplane is on the map. My son lives in Singapore for 3 years now and when he comes home I always use the map to see where his airplane is on the map and near landing. 
I reinstalled the app again to see if fix the problem but nothing. 
Please what can I do.

### 3/5 — Interface could be better

*2023-05-18*

App is slow to respond to key presses and is non-intuitive.

I just set up two trips, saved them, exited, came back and they were missing. Went through the process again and see them on the iPad where they were created, but when I go to the program on my Droid, they’re MIA.

I refreshed the display, and it’s been “updating” for 10 minutes with no joy.

It’s an app I hate to love, and love to hate.

### 4/5 — If only the A/C registration number

*2022-12-23, version 4.0.17*

This is my primary app to keep track of flights. If it would provide the A/C registration number I’d have everything I need. Food for thought.

### 2/5 — Not supporting app it seems

*2022-12-05, version 4.0.17*

I have the paid version of flightview plus. I have had it for years. I have had a serious problem with this version for months. I have no map view.

I have submitted multiple support tickets over the last few years. I get no responses. No answers. And most importantly, no fix!

They have not updated the app in more than seven months. They do not seem to care about those that have supported them and paid them.

I am forced to either use the free version and put up with lots of ads, or use the competitions’ apps.

Get it together guys or lose another loyal customer.

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2022-11-22, version 4.0.17*

I used to love this app. Now it will not show the live map.  What’s the deal?  Can you fix it?

### 4/5 — Use it regularly!

*2022-10-06, version 4.0.17*

I like to track our family’s trips using Flightview Plus.  It’s nice to have a central location for both current and past trips that we can refer to.  Information is accurate and promptly presented.

Suggestion for improvement?  On the flights page, between the flight number/city and the scheduled arrival/departure lines how about adding “Current local time” so that we aren’t constantly having to calculate it or guess.  

Thanks,  Jeff.

### 3/5 — What happened? Update isn’t useful

*2022-04-30, version 4.0.15*

I have use this app for years! I work for the airlines and it’s the greatest app out there… You can track inbound aircraft, everything else… Now they updated it and it’s more difficult to use, and has less information!! Why change it so much when they added features aren’t helpful & just slow it down & make it more difficult.?? So frustrating

### 4/5 — Great but ?? Latest changes

*2020-02-21, version 3.6.3*

Great app. I’ve been using it a long time. Thanks for adding the airport swap in search by route!
But what’s the deal with that awful new font? Tiny SERIF font?! Do you miss typewriters or something?

### 3/5 — Okay

*2019-05-17, version 3.6.2*

I added the wrong airport to my airport list and there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Old old old old old

*2022-12-22, version 4.0.17*

Still uses old OS elements from many years ago. Now charges subscription fees in a different app despite not updating the app to current standards. Lazy developers just raking in cash after doing no work.

### 1/5 — Persistent Phantom Alerts

*2022-10-31, version 4.0.17*

I don’t know what’s wrong with this app but I constantly get push notifications for flights that I’ve deleted from my trips. They may have been old flights, canceled trips, etc. but even after deleting them from the app I still get alerts for these flight segments. I’ve even logged in via the website and looked at “my trips” and the flights aren’t showing there either. Until they can fix that glitch this app is a 1-star for me - you need to do one thing guys and do it well. You’ve missed the mark.

**update** 3 years later, this is STILL an issue. Get it together already!!!

### 1/5 — No map

*2022-10-06, version 4.0.17*

Map feature not working.

### 1/5 — Mapping doesn’t work

*2022-09-18, version 4.0.17*

Mapping hasn’t worked for a long time

### 1/5 — No map

*2022-09-09, version 4.0.17*

Map not showing

### 1/5 — No Map

*2022-08-19, version 4.0.17*

Map hasn’t been loading for months now since one of the big updates of the app.

### 1/5 — Email Itineraries Does NOT Work

*2022-06-25, version 4.0.17*

The best feature of the app was the ability to email itineraries and have them added. That feature has been discounted.

### 1/5 — Latest Update Has Issues

*2022-05-22, version 4.0.17*

After the latest upgrade map loading is either slow or fails and you cannot delete past trips. You can delete past flights, but the trips remain. The prior version was better.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2019-12-09, version 3.6.2*

I can’t see the departure or arrivals, I even send an email to the customer support, The email me back they said we have an ‏issue! we will fix it (soon) it’s been over month ago.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-04-03, version 3.6.2*

I’m sitting in the airport, my flight is delayed, it is past the departure time, yet FlightView shows the status as scheduled. This happens every time I am delayed, so how can I ever trust the information?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-10-06*

I love this app. While I do use it when I travel, I enjoy it most when my kids are traveling and I can “see” where they are and if their flight is on time. It’s easy to use and it calms this mama’s heart when it signals that the plane has landed and my kidlets are on the ground.

### 5/5 — The BEST!

*2023-07-05*

If there is a better App out there I’ve yet to find it. Gives me all the information I need and I rely on it for my own flights and those of my family. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-06-08*

It has become the reference app for flight information. It immediately updates the flight info, if available.

### 5/5 — good app but needs to get fixed asap

*2022-07-20, version 4.0.17*

i have iOS 15.5 in my device and I deleted and reinstalled the app and when you want to track a flight it doesn’t show up where the plane is, the only thing that shows up is a black screen on the map

### 5/5 — Simple and powerful

*2022-05-19, version 4.0.17*

I’ve used this app for years. One of my favorite features is tracking a flight and seeing when it actually lands vs arrives at the gate.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-07-09, version 3.8.5*

I believe it is the best app I’ve come across to track flights and help with trips arrivals and departures of all apps out there

### 5/5 — Great app. Bad font update.

*2020-02-23, version 3.6.3*

Great app. Does what it says. The only problem is the most recent update changed the font to a horrible looking one. Need the option to change it.  Also would be great if they added dark mode. The new white background can be blinding at night.

**Developer response:** Hello pezzulca, please update to the latest version of the app. We've resolved the font issue and also added dark mode. We hope you enjoy it! - the flightview team

### 5/5 — The Very Best

*2019-12-26, version 3.6.2*

What a great app! It provides all the information I need to deal with my travel and that of others.

### 5/5 — Easy and accurate

*2019-11-01, version 3.6.2*

I use this app for all my flying details.  Helpful and accurate- what could be better?

### 5/5 — So useful

*2019-02-13, version 3.6.2*

Living in south Florida means we always have lots of family and friends visit during the winter months. We have to make lots of trips to and from the airport. I love this app because it lets me know where the plane is and when it will land so we know when to head to the airport. I’ve used other apps but so far this is my favorite.
