Flight Update - Live Flight Status App Reviews

52 add

Simple and clean

Love it. Especially the calendar sync

Invaluable for this frequent traveler

More accurate flight details than unnamed airline direct apps. I just traveled with 3 different carriers and this app stored it all and I could mail my itinerary in one piece to friends & family. Love the insta-flight feature - look up a flight to see when its going to land - with a visual map showing speed & distance of plane - great for meeting people at the airport. Store all your trips in one place for yearly tax prep, expense reimbursement or just to be reminded where you were on a particular day! (Try that on AA.com - they store nothing) I am a 30+ year frequent flyer and this app has made my life so much easier. Thank you, thank you developers...

Needs some more work

I like this app a lot. Its a mist have for travelers BUT they need to make sure they are pushing the gate numbers sooner. Im expecting to look at the app for gate numbers and changes but it seems it comes much later than any announcement or the review of the departure board.

Poor

Here I am waiting for a flight to arrive using this app. This app says that the flight will be on time. Then, I go to the airports arrival information and it says that the flight will be delayed by 35 minutes. On top of that, the flight map shows the plane stuck at one location over the ocean and heading in the wrong direction.

Meh

I can never view the position on the map; its always "unavailable." Not worth the 5$!

Great App

Always accurate, nice handy tool that integrates with the calendar app. Good info and helps even when you arent the one traveling.

Instant Crashes

Biggest waste if $5. Will not open on my iPhone 5. Crashes instantly.

So helpful!

I love this app. Its saved me tons of time with logistics.

Incredibly Helpful App

This app is incredibly helpful. I used it for both business and personal trips. Simple and easy to use!

One extreme to another

This app started off useless because it was so inaccurate. Now the accuracy has improved but the gate info arrives at the last minute. I get why you do this. But I am an airline pilot and to help plan out the trip I would like to know the gate well in advanced. I will have the sense to double check at the airport Please put in an option to "Hide" or "Show" gate info early. Or show the gate info early but grayed out. With disclaimer. Also the graphics on this app is better than any other Ive seen. However the functionality is sub par. The aforementioned gate info for example. Secondly, once you have a flight input, the app should draw the route with the current wx superimposed over the route. Other than that the app works fine I like the country flags it nice to see the flag of the country your going to.

The Map is Innacurate

Im trying to track loved ones through their flight and the map is not accurate, it indicates theyre only 20% of the way to their destination with only an hour of flight time remaining. I bought this app, I think the developers need to fix this issue. False advertising.

Not accurate

I trusted this app - until the plane I was on returned the airport 10 minutes after takeoff with a problem. Waiting in the departure arena, I check Flight Update - and it says the plane has landed 150 miles away. And right now it says a flight has landed at BWI at 5:30. Im in the same time zone. Its is now 5:10.

Used it for over two years... An essential tool.

Thank you! Great work simplifying my travel planing and execution.

Latest Update Fixed It.

This Paid app is no longer jammed with perpetual ads for neck pillows and "travel merchandise" This is very disappointing. I’ve reinstalled and tried to restore, but that failed. Still up to 4 stars for a trial bit. Thanks for listening.

Great App

This is a great application. I use it to track flights for all of the people who were coming in and out of town. It has been accurate to within minutes actual flight data. Weather delays also show. I love the live in-flight updates maps to track flights in progress.

Just What I Need

I’ve had this app for years and tried several others. Although others may have more bells and whistles, I’m just an occasional traveller, and Flight Update has just what I need to save information for different flights. I’ve had a few hiccups with this app over the years, but it seems to be pretty stable now and offers a lot of good features. I’m sticking with this one!

Great App

I take 15 to 20 trips a year and this app allows me to group my flights by trip, store Confirmation numbers, seat assignments, and any other additional notes associated with each trip. Shows terminal and gate info for each flight, which helps during those short layovers.

Downhill lately

Have had this app for around 5 years, and it used to be pretty nice, but lately patches make it worse. An example is when looking at flight history it defaults to your oldest flight instead of recent flights and there is no way to change it. Pretty sure most folks would want to look at most recent flights the majority of the time and not the oldest. Worst and becoming unacceptable is that some flights that I add crash when trying to look at their details. Same flights crash if you try to use instant status. Program completely crashes. I am about done with it and going to look for another app.

Great program-

very reliable. I had an issue when updating to iPhone 6, but Scott corrected it quickly.

Good basic app

The information is displayed in one screen and updates quickly with flight status changes.
