FlyRight is the app you open on the day you fly — and the one that stands up for you when the flight goes wrong. TRAVEL DAY, LIVE Add a flight with just the flight number, scan your boarding pass, or share the airline's confirmation PDF and every leg imports on its own. From then on FlyRight follows the day for you: check-in opens, gate assigned, boarding, pushback, layover time, landing. A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never open the app just to check. PEOPLE WHO FLY WITH YOU Follow friends and family and see their travel day live — no more "did you land?" texts. You choose who sees each trip: everyone following you, your close circle, or only you. YOUR TRAVEL JOURNAL Every flight becomes a page: notes, a rating, seat and booking reference, photos. Share a moment from inside a trip with the people following you. THE WORLD YOU'VE FLOWN A map of every route, kilometres flown, records and places — with a poster you can share. WHEN THE FLIGHT GOES WRONG Because FlyRight is already tracking your flight, you know the moment a delay or cancellation qualifies under EU261 — and how much: up to €600 per passenger. A clear verdict, a ready-to-send claim, and deadline reminders so you never miss a claim window. WHAT YOU GET • Live flight status with gate, delay and layover tracking • Lock Screen Live Activity with the countdown to your next step • Boarding-pass scanner and airline PDF import • Follow people and share your travel day • Trip journal with photos and notes • World map, travel stats and shareable posters • Instant EU261 compensation verdicts and claim guidance • No account needed — sign in only to keep your travels across devices Owed Pro adds compensation claims, early warning when your inbound aircraft is running late, and room for more people to follow you. Everything else is free. Privacy policy: https://getflyright.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://getflyright.com/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlyRight at none against Dollarbuddy's 2. FlyRight also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
