Nice start!  By: notneK - Jan 9, 2009 Version: 1.0 Enjoy the GUI and seems to function well. I would request 2 things before I could use this as my flight tracker..Ability to add dates to store upcoming flights (grouping itineraries together would be a huge plus, too!)Fix the flight number entry... You have to tap airline code in order to exit number entryAlso, it couldn't find jet blue... I had to scroll alphabetically and enter the code itself
Great App w/ some suggestions  By: kittycentral - 06-Feb-2009 Version: 1.1 This is a very helpful & intuitive application. I was able to use it to search the flights I was looking for. However, it would have been better if we could scroll down to see all the airports & airlines available. This is helpful if you don't know the exact airport code. Also, a better search function would be appreciated as some connecting flights don't show in the search results. Other than these 2, the app is very useful.
Very decent, potential for improvement  By: MN1974/// - Feb 19, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 I think it's a very decent free app that does its job decently well. Nothing is perfect, neither the paid ones. It has a very elegant UI and it's easy to use. Still, it can be improved in terms of UI friendliness -not necessarily design-, maps graphics and animations, and other minor tweaks. Does it's job. It's free and works fairly well. As w/ every other app, It does not crash if you reboot your iPhone. I wonder when will some people realize this is crucial before giving an app a low rate. But, that's just me...
Useful and good looking app with a few glitches  By: pgk2008 - Jan 19, 2009 Version: 1.1 As far as I can tell this is the only free flight status app in the store. The search function works well, and I like that it keeps the most recently searched flights in the list so you can easily check the status. I also like that it offers weather info for departure and arrival cities. For the entusiasts: the plane model is shown. And last but not least: the interface also looks pretty good. I did experience the occasional crash, as well as a pretty consistent display glitch: I was tracking two flights, and many times when opening the app both flight names were shown, only to be replaced shortly thereafter by a black portion on the screen. Clicking the black portion of the screen does bring up the relevant flight info, so it's only a minor display issue, but it's definitely a bit of a pain. A few suggestions: - It would be great if the 'map' could show the current position of the flight (like flightstats online). On that note, map resolution is very low at the moment. - It would be nice if the default flight info page would show flight status. Right now it shows the 'depart' tab by default. There is enough room to have a default 'status' tab, or alternatively, the 'info' tab could take that role. For example: when I touch the flight number, I'd like to see the key info: the two airports, the current status ('en route, arriving in x hrs and y minutes', or 'scheduled' etc), and any info about delays. If need be, that tab could be scrollable to fit all the important info. Things like weather etc. could stay grouped in the arrive and depart tabs. - The info is cleanly presented, but some visual contrast may help. For example I'd like the 'delayed' info to stand out more than the airplane type. Don't use red on blue though (bad contrast). Perhaps blink that info? Not sure. Overall great app, and looking forward to future iterations!
Nice but needs interface work  By: ciej - Jan 10, 2009 Version: 1.0 I was able to get all the information I needed/wanted. It is a little odd to use, the interface is a bit cryptic. To input a flight number you type the number but there is no "done" button to get rid of the keypad, but you simply tap somewhere not on the keypad and it goes away. This along with a couple other UI quirks (inputting/editting multiple flights: hit the "i" which is usually for information) make it seem difficult to use but the information is all there and more.
Nice!  By: Mactwigs - Jan 9, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app has great potential! It works a lot like the Apple Flight Tracker widget in Mac OS X but provides more information (like weather conditions and type of plane).Pretty slick how it zooms in on the map automatically like the OS X widget.. but the map in this app is so low res that it looks horrible when zoomed. That issue needs to be addressed.Minus 1 star for the map issue.Minus 1 star for various nit-picking issues (like the 24hr time format and the plane location not always showing on the map)Plus 1 star for offering it free**As for the review stating you can't search by flight number. You can, just type the flight number first, then click to enter the airline code.
A good start  By: Ivo1 - 15-Jan-2009 Version: 1.0 Really like the way the info is presented, nice job. Haven't had a chance to use it properly yet, ie can't comment on how it performs when there are delays etc. I'd like to see the ability to create itineraries (weeks, even months ahead), this would add a lot of value. Also the map detail is rather basic, need to be able to zoom-in further and have some more detail (as some other similar apps offer).I think it's got potential to put it ahead of the competition, then it would be a 5 star app.
OUTSTANDING !!!  By: weezyforsheezy - Aug 11, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 I HAD NO PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND.FINE AND BEAUTIFUL APPLICATION and IT'S FREE.THANK YOU.Mr.K
Great for causal use  By: archivist08 - Aug 1, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 Good info on glance, clean UI, more accurate that googling the flight.
Nice.  By: Don Holt - Jun 26, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 Works for me, and cheaper than the other guys. Don't be fooled, the others promise things they can't deliver --this app is true. Word.
Alright  By: Gonebananas185 - Feb 28, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 This app was ok, but it was pretty simple. Perfect for tracking most flights although it doesn't show how far along the plane is. Overall, good app and great for the fact that it's free.
Works for me AND it's FREE  By: lrreynolds - Feb 23, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 Thanks!
Exellent!!!  By: Tennist0 - Feb 20, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 I'm at the airport right now waiting for my plane and I downloaded this app, it's great it shows everything from weather to plane specs to a flight map... What more could you ask for?
Crashes a lot  By: Suballfan - Feb 18, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 I just got it and it has crashed twice! Also the plane doesnt show up its good that this is free because nobody should pay for it
Great app  By: RyanDM - Feb 13, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 Works great!
Worked for me  By: Ex-blackberry-guy - Feb 9, 2009 Version: 1.1 I don't like to write reviews but this worked for me, gave me the info very quickly and it's free! I thought I should help to off set some of the bad reviews because they seem to be a bit unfair.
Works fine for me  By: jfdklsajfdsa - Feb 7, 2009 Version: 1.1 There were quite a few very bad reviews for this app, but my experience has been very good. For the price, you can afford to find out for yourself.
Good  By: BXA - Jan 27, 2009 Version: 1.1 Def buy it if you are into this stuff!!!!
Awesome!!!  By: CyberHilt - Jan 18, 2009 Version: 1.1 This is a trully great app - can't believe it's free :-) The issues listed in some of the reviews below seem to be resolved. Thanks - couldn't recommend it higher!
cool, stock app like  By: eric.archangel - Jan 10, 2009 Version: 1.0 Simple to use, with a map just like Flight Track on Mac
