Flightview - Flight Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Too many addsUsed to be a fantastic app. There are now too many annoying and long video adds. Don’t use it enough to pay for subscription. Will be searching for alternative..Version: 4.0.19
✓ Previous FlightsThe main useful feature of this app has always been the ability to track a flight’s previous flight schedule. Now, this feature is broken, as the app doesn’t respond when you click on “Aircraft’s Previous Flight.” I don’t think they intentionally chose to disable the feature, as the option to click is still present, so I presume that this is a prolonged bug. In the meantime, I’ve resorted to using Flightradar24 to track both my flights along with where those planes are originating from. It sure is a bummer because I do love how this app is set up with the ability to create trips and have all of your upcoming flights in one convenient list..Version: 4.0.25
✓ Bad start!The app doesn't even open! I'm using iPhone 6..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great App but Ad Frequency AnnoyingI’ve used this app for many years and it is a great app for tracking flights and to see where the prior flights are coming from and if there are any delays. However recently the app has become almost unusable due to the increased frequency of the full screen ads. It seems like an add pops up every two or three screens. This it too much and is very annoying when trying to track multiple flights and navigate between pages. And often it is repeats of the same few ads. If I wasn’t interested in the add the first few times reshowing it only makes me mad and isn’t going to get me to click through. Why would o click through anyway? I’m trying to track flights not shop!.Version: 4.0.14
✓ Long time user, butHad this app for a very long time (since iphone 4 i think) recently the ads have gotten out of hands with full screen pop ups and completely disruptive i am going to another app and deleting this one, bad move with the ads, developers..Version: 4.0.18
✓ Great app. Bugs are commonOne of my favorite apps for travel. With latest update it won’t load previous flight which is mission critical. I hope they fix this soon. I broke down a few months ago and upgraded to no ad paid version since the full page ads were getting intrusive and loud. But they have to make money. It seems it’s always a small step backward with bugs like prior flights not loading now and small steps forward with version upgrades. At least the app is maintained..Version: 4.0.25
✓ Change detailsI put in the wrong date and it won’t allow me to edit and change the date..Version: 4.0.17
✓ Loud full screen adsThe app seems great until you get the loud full screen advertising screaming at you. Either there is no way to close the ad, or the close back button is well hidden. Removed!.Version: 4.0.25
✓ TerribleFirst journey I tried tracking it failed. Telling me the flight left on time & is almost at its destination. It's not - it's delayed & not leaving for another hour. Useless.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Good App Now Ruined by AdsApp was great for years with the odd brief ad. Now it plays long videos constantly and makes it infuriating to use. If you want to track flights, look elsewhere for an app because this one is awful now..Version: 4.0.24
✓ From a Flight Attendant-No! Don’t buy this!!I purchased this app years ago, used it weekly, and it was a dream. Unfortunately over the past few months, pop-up ads appear constantly, and the flights I save do not update/ send cancellations and gate changes. Most disappointing is the fact that I purchased this app, and there seems to be no way to hold the creators accountable for ignoring the fact that they sold me and others a product , specifically ad free, was and then expect us to pay again to remove ads. Bait and switch. The ads are completely out of control and the app no longer works. It’s junk now- very sad since this was the standard for flight apps..Version: 4.0.17
✓ Ads are horrible and longAds are now very long videos and impossible to stop until you have watched it all. VERY inconvenient and annoying and can be loud. Will stop using this app and try another one until they are more reasonable and then perhaps try again..Version: 4.0.21
✓ First Time User-not impressedWell, I just downloaded this app to track my husband’s flight from San Francisco to Toronto. It took forever to update. It said “departed” for almost 30 minutes and then finally said “in air” and showed that it departed at 8:21 when actually it departed at 7:53. I downloaded another tracker app also to test them out, and the other one (Flight Tracker) was more accurate. This one is currently showing that it’s barely entering Nevada when it’s actually almost to Utah. This app hasn’t been updated for six months...I think it’s due for one. UPDATE: It’s working a little better today during his flight home. But it probably should be updated to be more efficient..Version: 3.6.2
✓ DelaySat in the airport with a 2 hour delay and the tracker is showing we took off on time and switch to map view and yes we are flying back to Gatwick! But we are still in departures..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Nice app, but drawbacksI track flights quite regularly, so an app like this is important to me. I’ve tried quite a few similar apps, and I do really like the way this one presents information. What I don’t like are the extremely frequent full screen ads. Not only the frequency that they appear and interrupt, but that there are usually two in a row, many forcing you to view longer than typical, sometimes blasting onto your device with screaming loud audio, and sometimes have fake close buttons. Not very ethical or professional. Note that those are in addition to the banner ads that are constantly changing on the screen and it take up a portion of screen space as well. The subscription to remove the ads is very pricey, especially considering all the similar apps that are available for free. If you don’t mind paying the high ongoing subscription fee, then I would recommend this app; otherwise, due to the excessive and inappropriate nature of the ads, I would suggest looking at the many similar competing apps..Version: 4.0.22
✓ RubbishTracking flight my son is on. App says flight from Dublin to Heathrow is in air and is over Wales. I have photo from him to show plane on tarmac and estimated takeoff is in 45 mins time. What a joke of an app..Version: 3.6.2
✓ HmmmFind flight, but not loading map on iPad Air good signal on wifi.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Totally useless nowUsed to be a great app. You simply forwarded your booking email and if automatically created a trip. For over 2 years now this failed every time with a British Airways booking due to a ‘server error’. I’ve reported it many times but haven’t even had an acknowledgment of my email. Zero stars for customer support..Version: 4.0.17
✓ Don’t Use the Paid Version.I have used the free version for 6 plus years and never had an issue. I’m flying much more these days so deciding to purchase the app so I didn’t have to deal with the ads. About two months or so after purchasing the app the previous flight option will no longer work and I have to manually go through and pull them up. This was the main reason for using the app to track my flight coming in so if there are delays I see in advance of the airline telling me. I have emailed them now 3 times in the past 2 weeks and no response. I will be looking for a new app and would not recommend this app to anyone Such a bummer but I guess that’s there customer service. Good luck if you decide to use them..Version: 4.0.25
✓ Definitely too many adsI have had this app for years and thought of it as 5 star then. I used it extensively after it was first released and then stopped traveling in 2019. I am now able to travel again and the abundance of ads has made it a terrible app. I can barely get a flight entered before I am subjected to an ad. It actually took 5 ads to get a trip entered that only had 4 legs. Don’t know if I’ll continue using it at this level. And don’t tell me to subscribe as I can put up with an ad or two but this app goes overboard..Version: 4.0.23
✓ STILL NO FIX! Used to be best. Ads, bugs and greed ruined it.25 JULY 2023: STILL no update THREE WEEKS after they broke the app's most frequently used feature: aircraft previous flight. The bug had been reported multiple times. Just bizarre... Latest version introduced more bugs instead of fixing them. “Aircraft previous flight” no longer works. The full page ads timing is unreasonable. The cost of subscription should be more like 99 cents a month with no ads and no bugs and then this will be a great app again. I don’t mind paying for quality. Purchased the elite version in the past and would like to support the developers. FIX IT FIRST..Version: 4.0.25
✓ Not so good anymoreThis app was good when I first started using it. In the last few months I had family visiting and have tried to follow their flight to anticipate when best to arrive at airport. The last three flights have not shown correctly on the app. The plane was delayed for 2 hours while the map was showing the airplane was already on its route, half way there for a 3 hour flight. The point of such app would be to help exactly in these cases when the flight is delayed....Version: 3.6.2
✓ Absolute Junk.This app used to be good. Now it is possibly the worst app on the Internet. Ads that pop up and go on for seemingly forever. So you can’t get your information. Aircraft’s previous flight now will never ever load. Send you alert. The plane has landed when it is still in the air for another hour. Developer does not care. Tried communicating with them and no response. Scammers. There are far, far better alternatives..Version: 4.0.25
✓ UselessMy boyfriends flight (currently 3 hours into a 13 hour flight) was showing up as not even left the airport yet! 'No take off information - contact airline'. Luckily I had downloaded a functioning airplane tracker app that confirmed everything was fine. Thanks for nothing..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Multiple issuesThe app used to be really useful but now the ads are extremely annoying and the paid version to get rid of the ads is too expensive. Also, I can’t get previous flights to the one I’m looking at to load anymore like they used. I have to manually enter previous flights in. Not sure if a future update will fix that glitch or not, or is that another feature that’s been reserved to paid subscribers?.Version: 4.0.25
✓ Flight trackerUseless. Told me flight had taken off-OK, so far so good, but when flight had got to scheduled destination it could not land as there was fog. As a result diverted to another airport. No advice whatsoever-had to ring scheduled airport to find out what was going on!! Something I could have done without downloading app!!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Good and badGood is ok. Bad is that it shoots off into little games from which there is no escape. I had to shut my iPhone down and start it up again. Think I’ll start looking for another app..Version: 4.0.18
✓ Too expensive/too many very long addsThe app itself is good, but the payed version is WAY to expensive for the number of times the average person is going to use it. The free version has VERY long gaming ads that come up WAY too often, making the app next to useless..Version: 4.0.24
✓ WAS the best flight tracking app…unfortunately, your ads have become intrusive and unbearable. The newest layout now mixes static ads among the scrolling functionality for incoming flights. Come on! As if your overtly obtuse, lengthy video ads weren’t enough— now a simple scroll is PAGES upon PAGES long, as you’ve placed a static advertisement between every 5-10 flights! Cumbersome. Furthermore, these ads are often suspect. I can easily see that you folks have circumvented the “do not cross-track” functionality simply by “lacing” this app with an inordinate amount of ads. And to think I paid $2.99 YEARS ago to allegedly remove these ads. Nope. Still there..Version: 4.0.24
✓ Brutal ad!Brutal ad! Ad pops up. Fair enough. Stays there for 30 seconds, then launches the app installer. The plane has landed by the time you close the popup..Version: 4.0.26
✓ Unusable due to long-running video adsUsed to use this for my 3-4 trips a year, and still like the functionality. Unfortunately, the ads in the current version make it unusable. Sadly, I have deleted this after many years..Version: 4.0.24
✓ 5 originally, now 3I have had this app on my phone for about two years, using it occasionally. I was very happy with it and, had I reviewed it I would’ve given it five stars. No longer. In the past two weeks it has shown me two major major flaws. I was planning on meeting a friend flying into Washington DC from London. About half an hour before the flight was due to land the app warned that it was being diverted to Philadelphia. So I made plans for a pick up of my friend there. It kept showing Philadelphia as the new landing point for the next 24 hours. In fact the plane landed in Baltimore and the details of this were never posted. Then, a couple of days ago I was watching my sister’s flight from Iceland to New York. She was booked on WOW airlines. Unfortunately the carrier went bankrupt the day before she was due to fly and she was forced to scramble to get another ticket. No matter that all planes were grounded, this app showed flights taking off and landing at on time at Newark. good thing I didn’t go to meet her..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Used to be decent. Not anymoreThis app. used to be decent 3-4 years ago. It hasn’t addressed any of its weak points (e.g. only reports “flight scheduled” without giving the flight’s time in the Notification Center, doesn’t compute the duration of stopovers between consecutive flights of the same trip), but now it doesn’t even report the gate number for international flights anymore (at least for any of the 10+ flights that I have taken this summer). Its only redeeming feature was that it synch-ed properly between devices, and even that has been flaky for me lately. This app has become basically useless to me and I took it off my iOS devices..Version: 4.0.17
✓ Awfull and inaccurateIf you are looking for a flight tracking app that works then this one is not for you.Version: 3.3.2
✓ UselessWorse than useless. Got app to track daughters flight from Singapore to Manchester and it said it had arrived - a day early!!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Fix the appI don’t know what changed but I only see 4 flights coming into YYZ. Where as before I could see all of them.Version: 4.0.18
✓ Phantom flight alert bug still not fixedIn March of 2019 I emailed their ‘contact us’ about phantom alerts I was getting for flights that I had added to the app then later canceled (e.g. there was a schedule change and I was moved to another flight; my work trip changed or was canceled; etc) but I continued getting push notifications for the flight segments I deleted from the app. I got a response from the “business development representative” at OAG saying they were looking into my issue and that was the last I ever heard. To this day, 4 years later, the issue has never been resolved so it continues to be the single most annoying thing about this otherwise excellent app. Secondly, my husband wanted to install the FV Plus app on his phone but now it’s $1,000 to download?? Ridiculous..Version: 4.0.26
✓ Doesn’t update with delayed flight infoOver 1 hour past scheduled departure but app says the flight is on time.Version: 4.0.12
✓ Still behind TripIt ...FlightView are not globally available on the Apple AppStore. Why? Unlike TripIt. You visual look good but getting the data out of the mass of information is difficult. You are doing things over two apps where TripIt does it in the one app. TripIt does not look as visual good, but the data retrieval is good from an end user perspective. Plus your charges are on the high side for what you offer over two apps..Version: 3.6.2
✓ YikesThis app has been having more and more issues as time goes on. So many times I have flights saying they landed, and their landing time is five+ minutes in the future! I also regularly get notifications that a flight has landed, and then when I open the notification, I have to refresh it multiple times and wait for it to actually update with that information. This often takes up to five minutes. As someone whose job involves meeting flights as they arrive, it decreases the value of this app immensely for me. But on a more practical note, the pop up ads they suddenly decided to put on the app make it unbearable. It makes the app lag, makes it harder for me to just take what should be 5 seconds to check the flight into a whole ordeal. ESPECIALLY because the ads have the worlds tiniest Xs for closing them and I frequently accidentally open them. The other stuff I could deal with, but not this. The instant I can find another app that has flight tracking like this one does, I'm deleting this one. It’s not worth the frustration..Version: 3.8.3
✓ Not impressedIt's pointless using an app that doesn't keep up with the hour change!.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Previous Flight Icon Not WorkingI have paid for this app, and as far as apps go it’s not cheap. As an airline pilot I use this app to build my trips. Used this app for years and it’s the best as far as flight tracking apps. However, the new update disabled the feature of being able to track previous/inbound flights using the icon. I would email the company directly, but they have ignored any contact with them outside of writing a review. As much as this app costs I really hope they can fix this feature as I used to use it a lot before it was disabled. Other than that it’s a great app!.Version: 4.0.25
✓ MalwareAd offers to install malware Beware.Version: 4.0.26
✓ RubbishWell that's wasted some of my time! The app says the flight I'm tracking is still on the ground delayed. The airline website says its at 5128ft doing 228mph? Errrrr. What more can I say. You makes your choice and takes your chance. Only downloaded this one as previous people had said it was good. But sadly it's no better than the rest. Just go directly to the airline if you can saves a lot of hassle. 'Delete'.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Unhelpful!The app says the flight is still in the air, yet I'm sat outside the airport and the flight has landed! Not helpful.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Fit for purposeDoes exactly what is says on the tin, could do with some flight stats though such as speed altitude etc...Version: 3.6.2
✓ FlightTrack worked consistently betterI couldn't wait to try this one. I thought if they gave up on FlightTrack, that they must've out done themselves. For usability, this app is garbage. All I want to know is how much frequency city pairs have and the layout is so busy, I have to stare at the screen to figure it out. The free version crashes with some advertisements. It takes way too many taps to find flights and the app defaults to the same blank form every time you switch apps, even if you leave it running. I'm not sure why people so unabashedly rave about it, unless they've never seen this much flight information on one screen before. But we're past the point of that being a surprise, now. Other apps can do it..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Used to be good. Annoying adds nowThis app never had bothersome adds. Now often they pop up, block the whole screen and no way to exit from them. Have to kill the app and re launch. So annoying. I’m switching to different app. Many are out there..Version: 4.0.22
✓ Interrupted w/ stupid irrelevant ads…which take over the entire screen and are nearly impossible to skip through w/out inadvertently going to App Store for some pointless game. Literally the last thing anyone wants to see when checking flight status. Two thumbs down on this version..Version: 4.0.30
✓ Ditch the adsI was just using the free version of FlightView and a very obnoxious ad popped up. I’ve been a user for years and prior to today have told friends and family that this is a great app for tracking flights. I don’t mind the occasional ad but first this game ad was very loud and second the little “x” that pops up so you can get rid of the ad did not appear until the game in the ad finished. At first I said no problem, I‘ll just get the paid version. But not for $999. Is that a typo? I’d be willing to pay $9 for an ad free experience but not $999. That’s excessive. Also don’t you screen the ads submitted to you to anticipate what the user experience is going to be? Not pleasant. Please restore the user experience to what it used to be; the best flight tracker app..Version: 4.0.23
✓ Worst ads templateWill definitely annoy you for ads model unlike other apps that gives you ads in the same screen without blocking..Version: 4.0.30
✓ Great app but needs updating (as of summer 2018)When this first app came out, it did not do a very good job tracking international flights but since then, it’s been great! It’s the best, most up-to-date flight app I’ve tried. It knows when the plane has landed before the airport monitors do! And I love how it will tell you “departed” when the plane leaves the gate, “in air” when it has actually taken off; “landed” when the flight touches down, and “arrived” when the plane is at the gate. However, about 2 months ago (May 2018) it’s stated having some glitches and wasn’t as accurate as it has been. Flights not updating (said flight was “landed” but not “arrived” for 6 hrs before updated); late on sending notifications (got an alert at 12:59pm that a flight was delayed until 12:56pm, and by then, was already on the plane); can’t always find flight (found 3 out of 4 of my European flights, regardless of the one it couldn’t find being on the airline’s app). This app hasn’t had an update in 5 months...I’m thinking it’s due!.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Long video ads are unbearableI have been using it for years. Now it becomes almost unbearable! Two consecutive ads appear too frequently and last for toooooo longgggggg! There should be an obvious button to disable the ads RIGHT AWAY! Will search for alternatives is things do not change soon!.Version: 4.0.21
✓ Mr.BrascoThis app is terrible. Flight is in the air for about 10 min. Still shows at airport..Version: 4.0.20
✓ Ads have RUINED a good little appAre used to use this app all the time. But now, anytime I want to see if a flight is on time or even enter a new flight I get interrupted by a very long and noisy and annoying ad. And what’s worse, if I wait for the ad to finish playing or for the little X to show up so I can get out of the ad and back to the FlightView screen, the ad does not go away, no matter how many times I tap on the little X..Version: 4.0.26
✓ Magical app combats delays with fictionI’m not sure what’s going on with this app. It has been my reliable go-to for tracking multiple flights when family gets together. Twice this weekend, however, it has posted a false status for my flight. Two days ago we circled Chicago rather than landing, but this app showed us as “landed” even though we were still over Lake Michigan. We actually landed 30 min after the app said we did. Currently, our flight is delayed. There is no airplane even at our gate. 10 min ago, however, this app notified me that my flight had departed. The skies apparently are perfect through the rose-colored glasses of this tracker. Of course, if they were, we wouldn’t need a tracker app. And I may be in the market for a more accurate one..Version: 3.6.2
✓ PointlessDoesn’t actually track. I was talking to my delayed daughter when this app said her plane was halfway to its destination. More than once..Version: 4.0.24
✓ TravellerToo many adverts and very annoying. Not as simple as it sounds..Version: 4.0.10
