### 1/5 — Spart euch die Mühe

*2024-10-28*

Die App macht 0 Sinn. Funtioniert garnicht

### 3/5 — App benötigt endlich mal ein Update

*2024-06-27*

Läuft noch auf Version von vor Corona. iOS hat viele Updates erhalten im Gegensatz zur App

### 1/5 — Schade …

*2024-01-27*

Offensichtlich wird diese App nicht mehr Supported, so dass keine Updates erfolgen. In dem Zustand ist die App komplett unbrauchbar, da bspw. das Tippen auf den Screen ständig die Anfrage zum Beenden und zur Einstellung kommt. Rein- und raus zoomen in der Map ist daher gar nicht erst möglich. Eingegebene Start- und Endflughafen müssen ständig erneut eingegeben werden. 

Ich hätte während des Flugs gerne gesehen, wo man sich in dem Moment befindet, da es an Board kein Entertainmentsystem gibt wo dies hätte ausgespielt werden kann.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2022-11-02*

Leider hat die App überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Konnte den Flug nicht eingeben, wurde immer wieder zum Anfang der Eingabe zurück geschickt!

### 4/5 — Hat gut funktioniert

*2022-09-29*

Konnte den gesamten Flug über genau sehen, wo das Flugzeug sich befand. Daher konnte man Länder, Inseln, die man durch das Fenster sah, gut zuordnen. Auch die Höhenangaben waren beim Landeanflug interessant.

### 1/5 — Kein gps signal ab einer gewissen höhe

*2022-09-13*

Nutzlos da kein gps signal empfangen wird ab einer geissen höhe

### 1/5 — Nett

*2020-01-10*

der kleine Bruder von Schei...

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2020-01-06*

As frequent flyer on chartered planes seldom do I find flight info screen. This app reliably provides me with flight info since iPhone 5. Attractive and informative. In my opinion it’s best in the category.

### 3/5 — Europa-Karte

*2019-10-29*

Sehr schöne App, die Europa-Karte wird nicht im vollen Umfang dargestellt und dauernd GPS-Verbindungsprobleme am Fenster. Sehr ärgerlich.

### 1/5 — GPS

*2019-08-28*

App doesnt work - GPS Signal is too low- advice against purchase!
