FAAwait provides real-time access to current air traffic delays at all U.S. airports. It utilizes a data feed maintained by the FAA that tracks departure and arrival delays, ground stops, and ground delays. To access this information, an active internet connection (WiFi or cellular) is required. FAAwait does NOT provide status information for specific flights. But by monitoring airport traffic conditions, you can often anticipate delays that may impact your travel, sometimes before the airlines themselves officially update their schedules.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Skyview 5 & 6 at Free against FAAwait's $0.99. Skyview 5 & 6 also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). FAAwait's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (37 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
