Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Wann at Free against FlightStatus's $4.99. Wann also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). FlightStatus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Wann holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Wann's written reviews are positive against 67% of FlightStatus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
