Flight Update Pro for Negative User Reviews
✓ 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.....?.Version: 7.23
✓ Not cool that you abandoned Pro purchasers when switching your revenue modelI bought this app in the pro version several years ago, paying full price in the App Store. I went to use it today having not used it in a while and found to my dismay that in order to boost their revenues the developers had switched to a subscription-based model and previous purchasers like me have now been left completely in the lurch with a useless app that I have now deleted. Very disappointing that developers go this way and leave their previously loyal paying customers in the lurch..Version: 7.95
✓ Must be something betterWhen I entered our upcoming flight to Australia it constantly wants to tell me I am traveling a day before my flight. Looks like app is not using the right time zone. Today is 2 July but tells me it's the 1st July????. Real pain when trying to input flights. Also it sometimes loses my flight details even if they are saved. You can use the Instaflight which does checks on flight details but expect no details other than status and map. No weather, seating charts, airline info. This app has also crashed on me several times. Not sure why. Latest itouch with ios4 so expect to be running fine. Look at others before you buy.Version: 0
✓ No Virgin Australia (VOZ) flight data availableAfter paying for this app I now find out it does not cover Virgin Australia flights. The Virgin New Zealand flight info is there. That's no use to me in Australia. Either fix the app or please refund my money. Thanks.Version: 6.05
✓ PoorVery poor graphics, overlay text makes it almost unusable. Stay well away, don't waste your money.Version: 5.70
✓ 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..Version: 7.24
✓ Again charging morePaid for pro app service was good and included then after a few years notifications stopped I was told I have to pay for them.A few more years on now full service has stopped and And told have to pay for the app to even work at all Developer is just ripping off his customers that I’ve been with him for a long time. Go with another app mi flight tracker is good same as this app and under £5 a year not £20!!!!! For the same service.Version: 7.86
✓ DONT BUY IT !!!!!!It's crushing all the time and special when you really need it. Very poor amount of information and options.Version: 6.10
✓ 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..Version: 7.20
✓ 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..Version: 7.33
✓ 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..Version: 7.02
✓ 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!!!.Version: 7.32
✓ 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..Version: 7.22
✓ 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..Version: 7.00
✓ Is it worth itNot sure what purpose the app is serving for me really. Just a database Would be better if it linked to airline apps so it uploaded automatically from them or via sone other means like frequent flyer card etc.Version: 6.51
✓ Poor!!Live tracking no longer works!! When I first bought and installed this program about 18months ago its features were great! But ever since the continual so called 'updates' the programme has gone worse! 'If it ain't broke don't fix it!!'.Version: 5.2
✓ Truly AnnoyingAbsolute waste of time, and frustrating! Can't delete flights?? What a Joke!.Version: 6.50
✓ Waste of £5.99It doesn't recognise the airline we are flying to Egypt with so nothing whatsoever works koralblue. Total waste of money for me. It should state it doesn't do charter airlines..Version: 0
✓ Lack of updatesStill hasn’t even had a basic update to support iPhone X screen sizing after five months, which inexcusable given the asking price. Other flight trackers have received more frequent updates than this..Version: 6.61
✓ 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.Version: 7.23
✓ Was brilliant. Now disappointing.I have used this app for a number of years starting from the original and then upgrading to the Pro version. It was brilliant BUT with the new restriction of 5 only flights a month, it is virtually unusable. I understand why there should be a restriction, BUT it should be more like 15-20 before a subscription is required. ESPECIALLY for those who have PAID previously. We understand the developers issue - the developer should understand ours..Version: 7.23
✓ 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..Version: 7.33
✓ 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..Version: 7.03
✓ 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..Version: 7.54
✓ 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..Version: 7.23
✓ Currently poorThis is a great app BUT currently gives some WRONG flight information. Flight arrives 2 hours earlier than stated in the app. I hope they fix it soon. Same problem with another app so it might be some sort of glitch with this particular flight?.Version: 5.62
✓ Unhappy with payments scheduleI used to purchase the app and that was it. Now you have to pay monthly subscription..Version: 7.22
✓ 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..Version: 6.70
✓ 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..Version: 7.96
✓ It freezes too oftenNot reliable when your flight info needs to be viewed because the app freezes on the main page listing trips.Version: 6.50
✓ Daylight robberyBought the app, now I can’t use without paying. You can get stuffed. I’d sooner not bother..Version: 7.97
✓ 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..Version: 7.21
✓ 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..Version: 6.61
✓ 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..Version: 7.61
✓ 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..Version: 7.06
✓ 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..Version: 7.22
✓ Poor so farHas failed to notify of various delays in Asia. Now tells me my flight to PEK is half way to destination when we haven't even boarded yet. Not a patch on the old 'flight track pro' from Mobiata..Version: 6.10
✓ New versionThis app used to be great. Since the latest upgrade unfortunately most of the time it will not show you alternate flights particularly on multi stop routes. This is why I purchased the app. Will not track in real time Is very slow in reporting arrivals, gate changes etc I would no non get recommend his app. Said but true.Version: 5.72
✓ MrA waste of my money here in Australia.Version: 5.72
✓ 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..Version: 6.10
✓ 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..Version: 7.01
✓ Not in OzThis App looks good for the US but is disappointing for Australia. Real time status is just not good enough. Messages such as Flight Scheduled to Leave 2 Hours Ago are simply useless. Also no Australian flight ever seems to be delayed according to this App! Don't we wish this were true? I was sadly underwhelmed as this was over hyped. Can only hope updates will make this thing remotely helpful..Version: 0
✓ 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.Version: 7.21
✓ Pathetic Qantas updatingWasted money. The free Qantas flight status gives more accurate info. Very dissapointed for the money spent..Version: 0
✓ 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....Version: 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..Version: 7.21
✓ 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..Version: 7.32
✓ DissapointedCan't even find the aircraft seating map or the option to see where the flight is position on the route. Maybe I am missing something I don't know. So far not I Pressed with Pro.Version: 0
✓ 2nd rate. Can't save flights, the old flight track was far better. A useless rip-offReally poor. Robbery.Version: 6.02
✓ 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..Version: 7.22
✓ Not greatNot really convince and too expensive for what it is....Version: 6.02
✓ Pricing structure changedI paid for the pro version of the app 12months ago to remove restrictions but now the pricing structure has been changed and I need a subscription on top of the original purchase price. It’s ok for the dev to change their pricing model going forward but they should honour the original purchase conditions for existing users rather than asking for us to pay again..Version: 7.23
✓ 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).Version: 7.23
✓ 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..Version: 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!.Version: 7.51
✓ 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..Version: 6.51
✓ 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..Version: 0
✓ 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..Version: 7.23
✓ I recommend sticking with Flight Update over 'Pro'I downloaded this and found that the offering is not that advantageous over the excellent basic Flight Update product. Seems you get a little more function in Tripit (if you are able or want to use it) but little else. Not sure the price reflects the 'added' advantages. The developers need to add some different touches for the common man.Airport maps would be nice or terminal weather info. Tripit isn't that nice a thing even if you have use for it. 90 percent of users will be happy with the basic version...this is probably more for the small business man. If you find you just love Tripit, you'll love this too. Silverware did a fantastic job with Flight Status and I use it alot. Not sure this Pro version did anything more for me..Version: 0
✓ This WAS one of my favourites travel apps.I’m not impressed having originally paid for the Pro version of this app then having the developers restrict the number of trips monitored to 5 - unless a subscription is paid for. Anyone who has need of an app like this (including myself) is likely to travel far more often than 5 flights a month. This is poor form and I feel a breach of my consumer rights. As the app is no longer of use to me due to a change of its functionality, I would expect a refund of my original purchase. I would not have paid for a Pro version if I also then had to pay a subscription..Version: 7.23
✓ 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..Version: 7.02
✓ Very MisleadingThe map feature is useless. All I get is a map of the world with no detail at all. There is no live tracking within the app (the image of a plane in the screenshot is just an airport). Very expensive for what it is - better to go to any one of the sights on the Internet..Version: 0
✓ The replacement I wanted/ not anymoreFinally found something that replaces FlightTrack Pro, albeit expensive. Only thing missing is the plane type, can this be added? Old review above, take it all back. Now you have to pay if you want more than 5 flights a month. I see response from developer saying they were losing money. Well I paid for the app expecting a service and now you expect to change that deal and ask for more, and every month. Simple, I won’t use the app anymore and will find an alternative. In reality they should refund all those who paid.Version: 7.22
✓ Screwing the people who helped at the startAfter supporting this app and paying for the pro version not good you are now required to subscribe to view more than a couple of tracked flights... very poor show.Version: 7.25
✓ ConI purchased the pro version of this sometime ago. Now it requires a subscription for over five departures a month. I had set up a particularly important travel from a student of ours from Ecuador who has multiple flights. When I said no to the subscription it deleted two of her three flights including the last one arriving in UK. Because it was linked to my calendar it is now delete them out of the calendar and now I have to go and find the email for many months ago dream put the manual into my calendar. I am really upset and once this particular trip is over I will not only cancel the trial subscription but cancel and delete the app completely and make sure I do things manually in future. After all I can find flight details from hundreds of other different websites and put them in the calendar manually which I will do in future ... if there isn’t another app that does a similar thing to this one..Version: 7.24
✓ 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..Version: 0
✓ Just went downhill in a big wayI paid for the pro version of the app but suddenly I am now expected to pay a monthly subscription in addition to the initial app cost. I will not be using this app in future which is a shame because it was quite useful. I feel that I paid for a service which I am now not receiving. Very poor way for the developers to treat loyal customers..Version: 7.22
✓ ScrapScrap for Canadian users..Version: 5.2
✓ Another Greedy Developer!This app used to be brilliant until they stopped push notifications and started charging for them, monthly! Now you have to physically open the app to get updates unless you pay a subscription for notifications! So if my flight schedule changes, I won’t know about it unless I constantly open the app to check. I’m sure they could have thought of some other to get money for an already expensive app!! Look for another app!!!.Version: 7.08
✓ 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. Don't waste your money..Version: 5.61
✓ 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..Version: 0
✓ 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..Version: 7.21
✓ Disappointed and no star!I already paid for the App, no monthly payment is acceptable in this case.Version: 7.92
✓ SadWhy did you go subscription? We don’t travel enough to warrant a subscription..Version: 7.88
✓ 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..Version: 7.22
✓ 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..Version: 7.06
✓ FAIL!!!!Failed at the worst possible time. I have a subscription but it fails to recognise. Says can’t connect to App Store. Other apps connect no problem..Version: 7.41
✓ Great appLove the app. Just needs an Apple Watch app. Very disappointing about the notifications subscription. This is forcing me to look for new Tracker app..Version: 7.11
