Flight Update Pro Positive Reviews

Awesome Flight TrackerAs a pilot for a major airline, this is one of my daily tools. Fast, easy data entry, and easy to read info make this the best app of its kind. I fly about 10 flights every week, and it mirrors my schedule to my calendar for my family to keep up with my frequent schedule changes. Bad weather? Canceled flight? Just search for all available flights, or for a specific airline, it's all easy with this app. Even check to see when the incoming flight will arrive at your gate, or check seating charts before you book. I use it all day, every day at work (gate change notifications!). Better than any app my fellow pilots have shown me. My recommendation is to get the Pro version. For a few dollars it gives you push notifications for gate changes, etc. could save you a long walk or a missed flight. That's worth a few bucks! Update: have been using this app for a few years now. Previous versions have had a few minor glitches, but the latest version seems to have fixed everything. I'm 30 years into this airline career with one of the big 3, and this app is faster than what my own airline provides for us. It's still my go-to source for quick gate and weather info. I have over 300 separate trips in the history in this app - each one has from 1 to 4 or more days of flying. I highly recommend it for both flight crew and passengers..Husband, Father, Repair ManVersion: 6.51

Easily the best Flight Tracking AppUpdate to my review: Not only does this app continue to surpass every other one in the category, the developer is extremely fast at responding to any questions. This is a well made, well supported app. Definitely worth a full five star rating. I have used this app for a number of years now. My wife is a Fight Attendant for a major US carrier, and this app has proved invaluable for us both to track her trips. Enter the flights once into the app and have it automatically update a shared calendar and all her trips appear on both of our iPhones. Unlike other apps it also updates the calendars when trips are changed. It is easy to enter the data, easy to use and accurate. The developer has obviously paid very close attention to usability, and is extremely responsive to emails for bug reports (of which there are very few!) and even suggestions for improvement. Cannot recommend this app highly enough. Easily worth every penny..MawheatleyVersion: 7.11

The Best!I live in the United States, but have family in Canada, so I fly there several times a year, and this is the app I use to check flight status. If I am home, and my wife is flying anywhere by herself, this app keeps me informed of her flight status. The app is powerful and versatile, and extremely intuitive. I have tried competing apps, but for one reason or another they don’t measure up to this one. I would also note that for a few dollars it is definitely items worth it to get the Pro version. And for those of you who are complaining about “having to pay...” think of the amount of time and effort the programmer of this app put into create it, and what it takes to maintain it. There is usually a price to quality, and if you have a problem with paying the programmer what he so justly deserves, then find another app..MashnyVersion: 7.27

Still a great App!UPDATE: After using the newly redone app for a few months, I’ve gotta say still 5 stars in my book! Had a calendar issue after a recent update & I contacted the developer who got right back to me (really!) & sent out a version update shortly after. I actually think the app is even better than it was in the past, well worth the nominal monthly fee. I get timely updates regarding gate, departure, landing & flt changes - almost always well before the airlines. 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve been a long time user of Flight Update Pro. Yes I paid $ to purchase the app outright 7-10 years ago. I’ve always found the developer to be incredibly responsive whenever there were problem/issues, which were thankfully few & far between. I have to admit I was very surprised (& initially dismayed) by the new price structure but after reading the developer’s reasoning for doing so, I whole heartedly support & appreciate his efforts in trying to keep this app afloat. I travel mostly for pleasure & this app has saved our family from major travel headaches a number of times over the years. Always accurate & timely as well as easy to use. Works great on my Mac, iPhone & iPad. I highly recommend this app!.ImmareedVersion: 7.33

Not good enoughIt works and the information is well presented. But I cannot give more than three stars because compared to FlightTrack Pro, that was bought and killed off by Expedia, the information truly lags behind. It takes far too long to see when the status of a flight has changed. With FlightTrack Pro I was always the first one one to know, even before the crew knew about it, such as canceled flights, changed gates or delays. I have notifications turned on but why do I not get a notification when the airplane has taken off or touched ground respectively landed as soon as the information is available? I checked the Prefs and Landed and Departed are checked. Subscribing has no benefit for me as I found out. I will get the same information from the airport or airline websites. I have used this app now for several years and I will have to find something better..Freedom4uVersion: 7.61

Best Flight Tracking App AvailableThe is the best airline flight tracking application in iTunes. I have been using it for over ten years. Every year, I review flight tracking applications to determine if anything else is better than this application and I have never found one. The application needs to be used in unison the with the TripIt application to utilize all features. Fight and hotel reservations have to be emailed to TripIt. Afterwards, TripIt unloads the flight and hotel information making it available to be downloaded to the Flight Update application. The Flight Update applications has more features than the TripIt application, hence the reason you want to use both applications rather than just TropIt..Tmoody1958Version: 7.72

Best flight tracker out thereThere are a lot of concerns over the monthly subscription that was recently introduced. The bottom line is the developer was losing money due to charges he was incurring over the flight searches being performed. From a business standpoint (yes, it's a business not a charity) this simply is not sustainable. I've been using this app since its inception, both as an airline pilot and now as a retiree. It has consistently been the best out there and it still is. I could bemoan the fact that now I have to pay a little for it each month or I can be happy that I was able to use it all these years with no monthly subscription. I choose the latter. I haven't found a flight tracking app that comes close to this one..SydeslipVersion: 7.33

Indispensable if you or family travelI’ve been using the app for years and while I think the change to a subscription based app could have been rolled out much better with an explanation as to why, I believe the app is well worth the price. As a business executive I understand how you must react to cost changes forced upon you by another third party. I think the subscription levels make sense for most travelers. I use this in conjunction with TripIt. I like being able to track flights on a map and getting additional information that TripIt doesn’t offer (probably because of the cost structure for flight tracking). I think the cost is reasonable for the in flight tracking and other flight updates..Sports49erVersion: 7.32

ExcellentI am puzzled by taxi driver leaving bad review and claims. I use this application on my travels and I can tell you this is most useful app I had in years. The most important, in my tight time tells me gate number and all updates abut flight! Great! Thank to this app, recently in Rome I wasn’t late an my plane. Thumbs up! UPDATE! It is still good application, but they want subscription on push notification which means this app is not longer better than other free apps! After I paid $10 they want me now to subscribe! It is not honest at all! UPGRADE: It iz amazing app! It helped me during my travels, even I directed my friend in different country to get her on her gate! It is just unbelievable! If I could give this app 10 stars, I would without any hesitation....GinoTheGreatVersion: 7.02

Been using for a few years and still live this appI’ve been using this app for a few years to keep track of all of our flights. It’s easy to input your data, provides a quick summary screen, seating information, real-time flight map and notifications of flight changes before I get them from the airline. On one occasion when I had a problem with the app, the developer replied quickly with a solution. Improvements that are made occasionally have been well received. Keep up the good work..PbreslVersion: 6.70

Works Great; Disappointed in SubscriptionsLove this app. I've been using it for traveling for years as it has features that aren't really found anywhere else (baggage claim info, takeoff/landing times in addition to overall leave/arrival times). The recent move to subscriptions (particularly since I purchased the property version long ago) is really challenging. As a result, I may simply abandon this and just work with other apps (TripIt Pro) for my normal experience. The minimal level of five flight per month in the free tier is really challenging, particularly if my travel just happens to be more than that amount for a given month. A subscription by annual number of flights might be more palatable for semi-frequent flyers..RK GametimeVersion: 7.22

Latest update is a disaster...It is (was) the absolute best flight tracker on the market. Now a subscription is required MONTHLY to access anything more than a handful of flights. I agree with the subscription...but refund my $10 first. I understand your costs have changed. Your efforts to keep the app going by floating it for three years created expectations that you cannot maintain. You are selling this to pilots and professionals. They can pay. The WAY you implemented the changes blindsided everyone. THAT is why they (and I) are going to leave the app. Your app just went into the trash bin and was replaced by Flightview Elite. I also sent a demand for a full refund as your update REMOVED a previous functionality that was paid for. I am also going to pursue the Apple App Store restrict sales of this app and all related subscriptions until this is fixed for the hundreds of thousands of users that you hosed. You might reconsider reversing your policy and begin to buy your data from another source before THOUSANDS of subscribers jump ship...to FlightView Elite....Brad Z254Version: 7.21

Love this programMy wife travels a lot for business & this program helps me keep track of her. The only thing you need to know is that there is about a nine minute lag between real time landing and when the program updates you. But once you understand that you can plan accordingly to be at the airport on time. Also the free version has a limit on the number of flights you can track in one month. I think it’s five or seven. So if you need to track more than that you’ll need to purchase the pro version..AtoolfoolVersion: 7.33

Had it allGreat app that has about everything you need. The only glitch we found is that the plane seating configuration didn't match the seating on the actual flight. We checked the plane type we were in against the ones listed in the app and they didn't quite match. Small issue but I'm very tall and I always check for the row, isle and bulkhead configuration for a given plane type. This was the first trip we've taken using this app so it could have been an anomaly, but everything else worked great..AkasapoVersion: 6.61

Fly a lot? Use another app!I am a professional airline pilot and have used the app for several years. App is simple to use and add multiple flights that are automatically mirrored to your calendar perfectly. All good! What's bad now is the significant price increase to be able to track multiple flights. The lower tier (cost and number flights allowed to track) is probably adequate for the average flier, However, it is completely inadequate for folks that fly frequently, or in my case, for a living. Regrettably, I decided that the significant price increase to allow tracking more flights is not worth it and have decided to drop my subscription..Flares:)Version: 7.23

Prompt Response to Issues and QuestionsI have to commend Scott, the owner of Silverware Software. I use three of his apps (Flight Update Pro, MileTracker, and TimeTracker) and whenever I’ve had a problem, I’ve used the “Email the Author” option and have always received a prompt and satisfying response. It’s obvious that Scott enjoys his work and that comes out in his willingness to walk through problems that users may be experiencing. If you are unhappy with something, shoot Scott an email first, then come back here to evaluate his customer service..Franklin CatVersion: 7.33

All my flight status needs in one placeI travel for business and use this app constantly: I can find flights across all airlines; get instant updates while traveling; see if a delay will impact my layover; I can even tell how far apart gates are if my layover is short. I also use it to see if general flights to a city are on time on any given day and whether the inbound flight to my gate is on time or late. I depend on this app so much I can’t imagine traveling without it!.2nnancVersion: 8.2.8

Quite simply the Best way to track and see the status of your flightsWhether it’s to track a friend or family members incoming flight, or to keep track of your own travel plans, this is far and away the clearest and most elegant app for doing that. Also, the alert that sounds like a flight attendant call button is just too wonderful! Ivdd we been using this for ten years; and it’s always been superior to the airline apps..Dr. FormatVersion: 7.88

Happy airline pilotI commute every week from Seattle to Denver for work. I need to know quickly where the gates are for my flight and what type of equipment it is. It is important to know as a jump seater if there are going to be enough cockpit seats. "i.e. is it a 737 or an A320." As we all know if it's 737 it probably has one jumpseat and A320 has two. Also a 737 will break your back and an A320 will leave you alive and ready to work. Thank you for making this app. A good replacement to a company that quit supporting a perfect app..Pilot robVersion: 6.51

Best Flight tracking app EVER!I get to travel internationally several times a year. This app has proved to be indispensable. The other flight tracking apps (TripIt, Tripcase, and airline apps) simply give up once you leave the US border. In these days of airline schedule disruptions, flight cancellations, delays, gate changes etc., Flight Update is always first with timely essential information. Thank you for this essential travel tool. Now maybe a watch app?.OakteamVersion: 8.2.1

Great app losing its greatnessWhile the airport maps and general layout of the app is the best there is the current gate changes updates leave much to be desired. Used this app for to and from through Atlanta on Delta recently and it almost had the wrong gate on the way there and has yet to update to the correct gate for the return trip. I would have missed the flight if I relied on this. Hoping for fast improvements given I originally bought this when it was 9.99 and still periodically pay for the alerts on the subscription system..Pied690156Version: 7.54

The only flight App that I useI have used this app since I first obtained an iPad. If there is any useful information about a flight, this App either retrieves it or allow you to enter and save it. Helps me keep track of my business travel and my kids going back and forth to college. About the only thing it does not do is book or rebook flights for you. One really nice feature is that it taps into the FAA schedule so it sees air traffic delays that the airlines do not disclose..DTMyVersion: 6.51

A worthy app for the weary traveler.I’ve been using this app for a few years. Love it! Keeps track of all flights from all legs & different airlines. I've not found a more comprehensive app in which I can warehouse all of my travel details with portability to my calendar. In conjunction with another app I have visibility to any changes in flight details and alternative choices. Can't and won't do nothin' without this app..U. S. PatriotVersion: 7.72

THE VERY BEST RESOURCE FOR UP TO THE MINUTE AIR TRAVEL INFORMATIONFor up to the minute status and future flight planning. Definitely 5 STARS...... I have have been using this App and it’s predecessor for nearly 10 years now and continue to find it to be EXCELLENT, and EXTREMELY RELIABLE SOURCE of UP TO MINUTE AIRLINE TRAVEL INFORMATION whether you currently traveling, or preparing to travel, or planning future workable itineraries. Whether DOMESTIC or INTERNATIONAL, this APP CONTINUALLY WORKS to provide you with the LATEST, LIVE UPDATES as SCHEDULING, WEATHER, and EQUIPMENT CHANGES ROUTINELY EFFECT DAILY AIR TRAVEL WORLDWIDE..DaBKLYNKidVersion: 7.12

Closest next bestWhile the best flight app ever is no longer supported, this one comes closest to being the next best. It's unfortunate though that when you find the flight you want, you are unable to save it as a new trip. This app actually makes you go back in and manually enter that same information. Also, even though the notification options are turned on, you cannot count on this app to send the desired notices - you must remind yourself via another resource to go in and check the status of your entered trips..Ll418Version: 6.51

Great appLike most reviewers here, I previously used an app that is now unsupported. I fly at least once a month as well as pick friends and family up at the airport several times a month so so need a reliable tracker. This one is great. I haven't found any glitches yet. I highly recommend this app to replace the non-working FTPro app. If you travel much or need to track others flights, it's worth the money..IPhoneaddictedmomVersion: 6.51

Provides the info that I need and when I need itThe app gives me flight reminders and it provides my landing gates and departure gates so that I can maneuver flight connections easily. It is nice that I can organize my trips separate from each other. One improvement would be to add an alert for flight check in 24 hours prior to flight time. Now, I have to set a separate alarm for check in..MLTexVersion: 7.11

Best Flight Info App AvailableThis app is the best flight info app available and is a must when traveling with short stop overs. Connection info with gate and terminal info is kept up to date with very little updated lag time and is better than the actual apps the airlines have. I never travel without it. Great for tracking estimated landing times when picking up family and friends..PhotoSoundGuyVersion: 7.23

Still the bestI used to have notifications and I would find out about flight delays and gate changes earlier than they updated the board at the airport. I am now paying for the notifications and the notifications are inconsistent. I deleted all my flights and added them again but still hit or miss. In spite of all of this the app is still good to see gate information, inbound aircraft and calculate your layover so you can max out that lounge time..TexasEric716Version: 7.08

Good app; angry usersWhen the App Store was first implemented Apple only allowed one pricing scenario, which was short sighted as there’s few software programs offering lifetime subscriptions for a low price. The US is still a capitalist country and from the appearance of the comments it seems high-volume users expect the cost to be absorbed and/or offset by new subscriptions. The reality is new iPhone sales have subsided and subscriptions the new reality. I’d recommend the Dev explain the issue on the App Store page..LAX20531Version: 7.22

It does the jobAt first wasn't sure but after several trips I got to like it.G LabelleVersion: 6.51

Old flighttrack userPerfect! Don’t change a thing!.Dashdriver100Version: 7.08

DisappointedI was sad (and a bit frustrated) to see an alert asking me to subscribe to Notifications, for which I paid a premium up front when I bought this app. This app has always worked well for me in the past, but if I wanted to subscribe to features, I would have gone with App in the Air in the first place. Time to start looking again..MrpommerVersion: 7.06

Great AppI use this app every time I fly. Super hardy and works like a charm :).CocaColaKid@ThePopShopVersion: 7.03

Works as advertisedBut I don’t like the interface of the app. Overall design (except for the icon) looks really boring and dated. I would strongly suggest authors to take a look on other similar apps, say ...Flifgttrack 5 (R.I.P.) and many others. For the price we pay it should look much more attractive..Nickname M.Version: 6.70

One of the better one’s you can trust uponI have tried over a dozen Apps both paid up to 25 $ plus ( including arrival / departure boards ) and free ones and this one is “ The Best “ in terms of accuracy and this is based on over a year’s use with twice a month crazy Travel ) .

App for FlyersThis is a top notch app. I fly a lot and not only does it update the flight info immediately it will allow you to create separate trips and save them for review. As it does update gate info I think a future version containing airport (gate/terminal) maps would be helpful. That would give a 5 star review. But overall awesome..FelinishVersion: 6.05

I like it!I use this app all the time. And have for a long time. I use the 'Insta' option to monitor flights and it consistently gives accurate information. I think the map component is great.

Show you the plan you are on and the map of where it is.s I have introduced friends and co works. They have down loaded it and are using it as well..Tim428Version: 0

Fantastic support for a reliable appAbout two weeks ago, I suggested a new feature for the app from the developer; the ability to store seat assignments on a per flight basis Today I was amazed to see that the feature has been implemented. Actually, the implementation was better than I asked for as it was fully integrated with TripIt. The app, is easy to use; the TripIt integration is great and it is completely reliable in the quality and accurate delivery of flight information..BarlitVersion: 0

Flight Update Pro Negative Reviews

Subscription Will Be This Apps DemiseI am part of the Beta testers of this app and used it for years. I paid the $9.99 fee to track all flights and they have switched to a monthly fee to track your flights. Poor communication regarding the new business model to generate revenue. As a customer this feels greedy and nothing more than a cash grab. This was not the app model I paid for and it will ultimately be the demise of a great app. I am leaving for greener pastures that do not milk their customers. As I categorize the comments by date I see the trend as this app will go from 5stars to 3 within months. To the developer, listen to your customers. If your subscription service is now pay per use as you have stated, you may need to switch providers, even if it’s a lesser product. You are jumping over dollars to get to nickles and you will ultimately lose your customer base. I have been a vocal advocate of this app and turned countless people into it, I no longer can do that for you. Best of luck - stop the bleeding before it’s too late, this app is very lucrative for you, find a way to sustain it in the old model before you lose it. We all remember what happened to FlightTrack Pro, learn from others failures (I realize it is a different scenario, but the lack of vision is the same).MaletvetteVersion: 7.23

7.21 is a failure. App used to be awesome. Not nowWhen this at first came out I paid $10 for it and used it when Flight Track Pro stop working. As an airline pilot whose company flies 4000+ flights per day, I might look at 150 to 200 flights per month looking to see what flights get from one airport to another. This app will NOT for for more than 5 flights per month unless you pay $1.99 to look at 20 flight and $4.99 to look at 50 flights. Even if this app allowed me to look at 50 flights, It locks up at 50 flights, whether you save the flight or not. This new version was ill thought out for frequent traveler who look at hundreds of flights per month. It used to be a great app. Not any more. Why on earth would anyone pay $1.99 a month so they could browse 20 flights ? If the developer wanted me to pay $5 a month for unlimited flights, I would do that but this 50 flights per month limit is woefully inadequate. I hope the developer reaches out so he can understand why a 50 flight limit doesn't work for a airline pilot or passenger who travels weekly and needs options for various flights from various cities. I no longer recommend this app. Please consider another avenue of revenue generation than what you designed into version 7.2.1.G4driverVersion: 7.21

Subscription Change not thought out wellClearly one of the best programs available for the purpose of flight tracking. . Five star rating for the application and zero stars for changing to a poor subscription model with no warning. When I upgraded to pro I paid a flat fee that was supposed to cover as many flights as I took. Was just on a business trip which had four legs and discovered that my limit of five flights a month was maxed. As a businessman I take 5- 10 trips a month each with an average of two legs therefore I have approximately 20-30 flights a month And that would cost me $60 a year. Some months I will have no flights but would still have to pay the monthly fee because rather than making this a flat annual fee they have chosen to make it a monthly fee not based on how many flights you fly that month but on your subscriber level. Poorly done for me. Fix that and I will reconsider if the annual fee makes sense. Quite a jump from what I was paying. If there was a reasonable charge of a couple dollars a month that covered my flights I would be a satisfied user but since that is not available I have to find a different program..Alexander318Version: 7.22

Getting greedyI paid $20 for this app several years’ ago, and I just cancelled my current subscription as they have introduced a tiered system with the highest tier costing $15 a month with a limit of 150 searches (what’s with these arbitrary numbers?!) As an airline pilot, this app was very convenient and the color coding for on time, delayed and canceled was a quick way to adjust plans, but in all honesty, I think the developers have gotten greedy, especially as they get their information the same way that everyone gets it, so unless they are providing drastically new services that make the app Indispensable and better than lesser-priced apps, they have simply substantially increased the subscription prices and reduced the usefulness (search limitations based on subscription price) to the point that it’s insulting. Unless they have really really upgraded the app, it’s just about seeing how much they can charge for the same old services..PeachtreejoVersion: 7.22

Subscription changes everythingI used to like this app. The new limitations imposed on the free version combined with the excessive subscription price now makes it much less useful in either form. This app syncs with TripIt but why now pay a lot more to use both? Just use TripIt if you have it. If developers want to charge for new features, I have no opposition to that. However, after paying for this app the developers went back and imposed new limitations on the number of flights that it would track in the original paid version. This essentially changed the product that I originally purchased. That should be unlawful. Changing the original product after agreeing to sell it for a price is outrageous. I no longer trust this developer. How do you know that they won’t change the terms of this product again in the future? You cannot be sure what you are really buying..BrdrJDHVersion: 7.32

Unacceptable UpdateI purchased this app and there was no limit to how many flights that could be tracked. I frequently travel more than 5 flights within a month. Now, with this latest update, you can only track 5 flights in a month without being forced to pay for a subscription. Today is only 4 days into this month and I am now unable to track any more flights without a subscription as I have reached the limit. Basically, it’s turned into an in-app purchase app. I have used this app for years but it ends now due to greedy developers. I will now just use google to get flight information as it’s free. I will also be asking for my money back. Even if I don’t get it, I will make a point to never use this app or any app from this developer. ******Keep in mind that this app is not worth paying for if you do not fly often..263994555Version: 7.21

Subscription based now. Hope they go out of business.I purchased this app after much research on flight tracking app. I wanted one without a subscription and was willing to pay more money initially for this. I’m a crew member and need to track many flights throughout the month. I use to recommend this app, but now I’ll ugh everyone to STAY CLEAR! This should be illegal! I already paid for the app and now they want more of my money for tracking more then 5 flights a month. (The main reason why I paid for the app to begin with.) I hope this greedy company regrets their decision to switch to a subscription based program. I know airline employees/ business travelers won’t stand for this very long before moving their money to a new app. I’ve seen multiple flight tracking apps fail in the pass of the exact same reasons. So good fing luck..Memmylou2389Version: 7.21

ScamI bought this app for ten bucks a few months ago. The app description detailed that Flight Update Pro will send push notifications. A couple of days ago a pop up message showed at launch telling that now I have to paid over 15 bucks/year to receive notifications. Dear developer: if you “need” to charge for the service do it for the NEW customers. They would purchase the app knowing that they will need to paid for push notifications. Have the decency of HONOR the features that you offered when I bought the app. Better yet. Offer 20 free notifications/month. Pro users that need more could be charged. Or offer a notifications “refill” to add lets say 100 notifications for one unique payment..FuiriousVersion: 7.02

Not for occasional travelersI originally paid for this app so that I could track the flights that I took. It worked great. I am not a frequent flier, I may take 6 or 7 flights a year at most. Sometime after I paid for the app, it was converted into a subscription service. Now, the app is completely useless unless you pay a monthly fee. I get why, it costs money to run the infrastructure that is used to provide data to the app. I don’t appreciate what was essentially a bait and switch. I paid for this app, and now I can’t use it. It is absolutely not worth paying for unless you’re flying all the time. That is not me. I will not be purchasing a subscription for this app now, or ever..JvanderbVersion: 7.96

Now chargingI paid for this app full price a couple years ago for add free. Now they have decided to start charging if you want to look up more than 5 flights a month. It is way overpriced in my opinion. A monthly fee for an app like this is ridiculous. (After their response) Maybe it didn't have adds but I am not mistaken about this app. I am in the Airlines and I use this app nearly everyday to track flights incoming to gates. I have recommended it to many other pilots. I do agree it is a very good app. No longer going to recommend. If you would like my business again I understand needing to charge but come up with a reasonable yearly fee. I won't pay a fee though unless you allow searching for connecting flights. Maybe enter a minimal connection time in settings then search for same airline connecting flights. I can't call it a bait and switch because I paid for this app a few years ago. It needs better features to pay for it. I can search these apps just the same for free and deal with the adds. FlightStats Flight tracker App in the Air.Ap1057Version: 7.23

Lost a loyal userI have used (and paid for!) this app for years now. As an airline pilot it was one of my most-used apps at work. I paid for the pro version because I like to support the apps that are well done. Today, as I began adding the flights for my upcoming trip, I was notified that I had reached my “monthly limit” of flights allowed without paying for a subscription (what? Since when?). Mind you, it’s the 1st of the month and I’ve reached this never-before-seen limit. No notice of the impending change. Just “you paid us money and directed dozens of users our way but now we want MORE money with no advance notice.” Wow. Pretty crappy way to earn business. Deleting app now. Finding another worthy of my money..MGJPilotVersion: 7.20

Changes to monthly billing for app.I currently work for a major airline as a Flight Attendant. I used to use this app all the time the last 8 or 9 years... However the last 2 years the app has been awful. It’s slow, It’s very laggy now days, doesn’t push through the flight information, or update the flight information unless you refresh the app yourself. They have started to charge monthly starting July 2019. Absolutely not! I’ve paid for this app years ago and you are changing it to make more money monthly now. Save your money people and do not pay monthly for this app. Use Flight Aware it’s free and doesn’t have a limit on how many flights you track a month..Flyguy2009Version: 7.21

Slap in the face for longtime usersAs a commuting Airline Pilot I’ve been using this app for years, with unlimited flight tracking under the original agreement when we all purchased it at what was then a hefty price. I understand business environments change, and you have every right to charge new customers whatever pricing and subscription plan you please, but it is disappointing that the customers who supported you early on are not grandfathered into our original features. As a commuter, even the highest subscription tier would still not allow me to track all the flights I need to every month, and I feel the pricing is not a good value anyway, so I’ll be bidding adieu I suppose..Soon to be ex-gear junkieVersion: 7.22

Charging PER flight lookup now?!?!?!I’m beyond pi$$ed. I work in the airline industry. Live in one location, commute to where I’m based...the majority of us do. Usually twice a week. You gotta be out of your mind if you think we’re gonna pay for PER FLIGHT LOOK UP. This new ‘subscription’ has rendered your app 100% worthless to ALL of us in the industry who used it. Previously...a 5 star rating. Now?...no way. Like another person said, we’ll look up HUNDREDS of flights a month. Hell, sometimes in ONE DAY! That happens when there is a weather event taking place with a LOT of cancellations/delays...and we’re plotting our way home or to work. I’m very annoyed...and sad to see this change here..JaykohVersion: 7.22

New subscription model is thumbs downI’ve been using this app for years. I paid the premium price for the app way back when for a one and done fee. Now the developers decided to switch to the greedy subscription model where they nickel and dime you for tracking flights. Another great app goes down the toilet due to corporate greed. I told many a customer about this app in the past and now I will tell people to steer clear of it. Scrolling through the reviews, nothing but the typical defensive recalcitrant response from the app developers that can’t handle the truth of their greed exposed. You make your bed. You lie in it. Pathetic!.AnonpilotVersion: 7.51

Scam!!!I read the reviews before making such a large purchase (as far as apps are considered) and it DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SAYS!!! Clearly, the review writers were paid to leave the reviews they did because it’s all 100% NOT TRUE!!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!! I need a flight board that does what this claims to do as a full-time airport taxi driver, and despite messing around with every option & button available in the app, it absolutely does not do what it says!!! Also, as a side note, the flight board from Appeclectic is also a dud when paying for the premium membership. I’ve paid it, it shows as active, but doesn’t do what it says and tells me to upgrade for the features I need..Kitten MauiVersion: 6.61

Do not get this app!!! You will pay and pay...This app worked great until the payment model changed. If you want to track more than 3 flights in a month the app blocks it and forces you to pay a subscription rate—even if you purchased the PRO for $10 in the past—this app is now worthless unless you pay a monthly fee. Note: The apps claims you can track 4 flights in a given month without the subscription fee—but the app actually blocks you from adding the 4th flight in the same month. Once you pay, you are subject to random fee changes. Not a reliable model. Unfair to people that purchased the app..CcincaliforniaVersion: 7.33

I am FURIOUS!!!I have used Flight Tracker on and off through the years and never had a problem with it. I use it ONLY occasionally when we’re planning a vacation. So...just now when I was trying to put in our next vacation flights, as I was putting in the last of 5 flights (same vacation), it says I have ALREADY put in 5 flights and they now want to CHARGE me for a subscription in order to continue. First of all, I have put in only FOUR flights...NOT 5!!! And, I originally PURCHASED this app several years ago and have never had to pay extra for putting in extra flights. My option is to PURCHASE another Flight Tracker, which I REFUSE TO DO!!!.NeeNee x 2Version: 7.32

Was a great app...very disappointed that it now requires a subscription.Have been using this app for several years to keep track of my husband’s flights as he is a commercial pilot. Was one of the most expensive apps I have purchased but felt it was worth the up front cost. Just discovered today that I can only look up 5 flights a month unless I pay for a subscription which I have NEVER had to do as I often use this on a daily basis. Very disappointed that I paid for the “pro” version and am now required to pay for a subscription. Not worth it..PCMomLifeVersion: 7.33

Bait-and switch, very dishonest folksAs far as capabilities go, hands down, it is an awesome app. It worked better for all airlines I used it for, better than the app off from the particular airline! But.... I used the free version for long time, then I had to buy the pro version which was ok, well worth. I came to realize recently that they switched to a subscription model beyond 5 flights/month which is unethical at best. I and my wife travel once or twice a year, just over 5 flights each time. Now i'd have to subscribe each time and cancel or pay throughout the year for nothing. $1.99/month wouldn't kill me, but it is the principle. I guess the handful of pilots and the few thousand business people generate enough revenue to screw the rest of us over..... Update: after posting my review I sorted existing reviews by most recent to realize I am not alone... I see wondering if there was an unhappy lawyer with enough free time on his/her hand to draft a class action suit.....?.X10 fanVersion: 7.23

You’re NOW charging for push notifications?!This once great flight app helped me with my travels. Showing me flight details in a very easy layout. With push notifications telling you of gate changes and other important information. As of now with version 7, I got a message within the app about subscribing to push notifications! I looked into it and it will cost us $1.99 per month! Is this the direction this once great app wants to take? If so, I would rather use the AirLine Carrier’s own app for flight notifications which is for free! I foresee this would cause a trend for more apps going this direction. Besides, you paid only ONCE for an app to get a lifetime of free updates. Pretty soon there would be in-app purchases for special features like viewing a plane layout, watch a real time flight path, etc. I for one would be looking at other flight apps in the future..FTechVersion: 7.00

Disappointed and no star!I already paid for the App, no monthly payment is acceptable in this case.GL_1Version: 7.92

Subscription model ruins this appI was very disappointed to see the business model changed for this app - which I have previously purchased - to a subscription model. My experience with other apps is to grandfather those people whom have already purchased an app to continue to use it without restrictions. I will instead purchase a different app not associated with this greedy developer..GTS6Version: 7.24

Paid twice alreadyPaid for this app twice already. Just last update it started to limit flights to be tracked each month to 5. Wants me to now do a monthly subscription. Look for a different app..LabanackVersion: 7.23

No Push Notifications without subscriptionThis was good app. Then push notifications stopped without signing up for monthly subscription. Of very limited value now. Paid a lot for app and now virtually useless. Push notifications was the key feature..KingToadVersion: 7.06

Complete CrapThis one great app has become progressively worse with late (or no) notifications and now wants $24 per year to provide push notifications - which better apps provide for free. Given the steep purchase price this is pathetic. Delete... moving on to better and cheaper..Monet2010Version: 7.03

Don’t BotherAs I had to travel internationally a lot this past year, I took along 4 flight trackers to see which was the most timely and accurate. Flight Update was at the bottom of the list, with delayed or missed notifications more often than not, and no automatic iCloud sync between devices. The developer now wants to charge a subscription for push notifications. Why would anyone pay additional charges for notifications that may or may not arrive ? The app is not worth the base cost much less a subscription fee on top. Save your money and go elsewhere. Much to my surprise, Flightview Elite proved the most reliable and accurate, for half the cost and no subscription. Flight Update has been tossed off all my devices; yet another purchase that failed to live up to its own hype..SjhawkVersion: 7.02

Disappointed in removal of push notificationsI paid C$16 for this app because I wanted the TripIt integration and push notifications. The recent upgrade removes the push notifications unless you pay a monthly subscription fee. This seems pretty unfair considering the already steep app price I already paid. I have switched to FlightView Plus..WendinatorVersion: 7.01

Flight Update ProOk, so after reading one of the reviews, I realize that apparently this app is not supported in Canada? How is it possible that you support my money when I bought it from the App Store, but now it's not working? Where? on the description of your product on the App Store does it say for Canadians not to purchase this app? For my daughters' flight which I was trying to track from Dubai to Beijing...it constantly showed the flight as 'scheduled'....not 'en route'. I was not able to see a map w/altitude, duration of flight, nothing....it shows me the Terminal; however no gate. Isn't the little plane on the map supposed to move in intervals as it progresses in flight? mine doesn't. Should it not show 'landed' when the plane lands? I had to receive a text from my daughter, saying she was in Beijing. I paid $9.99 for what? So not happy..Maxglide1Version: 0

WasteI bought this app for the flight tracking feature and find out after it does not support this feature in Canada. No where in there description does it say this. It seems that more and more App developers fail to think that Canada even exists..DFlyboyVersion: 0

Yeah, but...There are several roughly equal flight trackers. All have their Pluses and their flaws, here the search is a little annoying but otherwise everything works. At this price point I would have expected a little more functionality. Drop the 'pro' and buy the regular version, nothing really justifies the extra $5..Bill KVersion: 0

Truly AnnoyingAbsolute waste of time, and frustrating! Can't delete flights?? What a Joke!.Dumd1Version: 6.50

Too many issues and too high a price.I was looking for a Flightrack alternative. This isn't it. For the price it has far too many issues. - if your plans change and you delete them from this app and from Tripit, you still get notified about the flights. Kind of annoying. - if you delete a trip from the app and then try and synch again with Tripit, the flight will not come across. Ever. I had to then delete the app and synch again from the start. - until the flight details are fully downloaded, it creates a calendar appointment as a placeholder. This is short and misleading, especially when others are trying to book meetings and only see your free and busy information. That's the issues I have with the app, which for $14 should all be resolved. Update: I emailed the developer with these issues. He suggested they were fixed - they are not. I've amended my review and I'd not recommend this app until basic Tripit synching is resolved..MrTea!Version: 6.10

0 starsThis app is horrible. It costs $10 and doesn't even tell you if your flight is cancelled. We almost drove a whole 2 hours to the airport thinking our flight was still going until we checked the airline website and saw that the flight was cancelled.
