Flight Tracker + alternatives

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Was cool: It used to be free. Now it’s six bucks a week.
2. [R4] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US $$$: Why is the subscription based now…???
3. [R7] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Beware Predatory App $5.99 a Week!!!: I thought I was getting free version and or 1 time purchase only to be charged $5.99 weekly for a year. Buyer Beware!!
4. [R119] Flighty 1/5 · US Monthly Payment: Misrepresented monthly charge. It is actually an annual charge. I would like my money back.
5. [R2] Flight Tracker + 4/5 · US Free Version Downgrade: Not going to leave some silly one star review. I’ve used the app for years without issue, almost always just to track my wife’s incoming flight to pick her up. Just now opened it to use it for the first time in months, and it’s now unusable in the free version. Now bombarded with endless ads and demands to get the paid version and can’t even figure out a way around it to do
6. [R9] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · US Very useful but very pushy to buy subscription: It is very hard to exit out of the subscription page when opening the app, which is very annoying.
7. [R10] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Free version is pointless: Free version is pointless. Better off getting flight radar
8. [R24] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · GB meh: basically works, but 1) unable to paste a flight number 2) information is out of date 3) no attempts to translate times to my time zone or relative times 4) lots of ads and constant nagging just not worth it
9. [R13] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Latest release broken: I have been using this app for a long time, but the latest release crashes instantly every time I try to use it. The app help leads to a “not found” page on their site and an email sent to a general email address was ignored. If they fix the app and contact me, I may change the rating, but for now, this app doesn’t work, so the rating is deserved.
10. [R19] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Once Great-No More: I’ve had this app for quite some time and was always happy with it until now. Every time I open the app, it crashes. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it 3x and rebooted my iPhone each time. No change. I attempted to get support from the developer and that was not possible. My subscription expires in April 2027 so I’m out of luck as I have a useless dead app.
11. [R22] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US I’m asked for a review: The app won’t start and I’m asked for a review. I’ll give it 1-star because I haven’t yet tried it.
12. [R45] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Unhappy: Every single update makes the app worse... I want my money back
13. [R16] Flight Tracker + 2/5 · US Not reliable: The biggest issue of all is that it on one recent trip, it could not find my confirmed flight despite TripIt, Flighty, United (the airline for the flight), Flightradar24, FlightAware all able to find my flight. I contacted support and they appreciated my ticket and also wanted screenshots of all flight tracking apps I use for that flight, and I obliged. No follow up from support
14. [R27] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · GB Hit and miss: This is a good app but if you are looking for 100% accuracy then this not the app, have monitored many flights and many say flight is still at the gate, whilst official airport will show it took off 30 minutes ago, I think many of these kind of apps are ok in telling you the Terminal and eventually the gate and baggage claim, they do however struggle with up to date information just
15. [R33] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · GB Good but doesn’t always show all flights.: Looking for a flight booked by my son from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok, for which he has a confirmed ticket, the app could not find the flight for that day, though the following day it did find it. This has happened before with different flights. The coverage of flights that it does spot however is quite good.
16. [R6] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · US No more Search by Route?: I've used this app for 10+ years. When I logged in today, the only search is by flight number - with no way to search by route! WTH?!
17. [R41] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Are you guys removing features?: No longer able to see all flights to or from any airport. Now i have to put the specific departing and arriving airport code…. Thinking of switching to another app just for this reason
18. [R46] Flight Tracker + 5/5 · US It was good: But now all the interesting data as a flyer and tracker are gone. Remove
19. [R15] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · US Pro issues: I have to restore my purchase every single time the app opens. Boo
20. [R18] Flight Tracker + 3/5 · US Was reliable: I keep having to restore my purchase. This was never an issue. Annoying
21. [R34] Flight Tracker + 2/5 · US Continually requires updates: App works but when you get out and get back in, it requires an update.
22. [R47] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Upgrade deleted all my data: I recently tried to use this app, but when I opened it, it froze. As a result, I was forced to upgrade to the latest version. Once I did, I opened it up, only to discover that it had deleted all of my data; over a decade worth of flights. I will now be looking for a replacement for this app.
23. [R39] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Caution to subscribers: I subscribed to this app and almost immediately after I sent my payment info, there were three unauthorized transactions made from my bank account, totaling $300 +. I hadn’t used my card for a couple of weeks prior to that, so I know that it was connected to this purchase. Had to have my debit card blocked, had to get a new one, all of that. What the actual f is going on?
24. [R52] United Airlines 5/5 · US Ashlie: Love flying United , faithful x years
25. [R58] United Airlines 5/5 · US 20 years with United: I’ve been flying domestically and globally with United for over 20 years. I’ve experienced exceptional service and professionalism from customer service and flight staff. I own multiple small women/ family owned businesses, and use United exclusively for my travels. I love United and would be happy to be a spokesperson! You could always use the good press :)
26. [R60] United Airlines 5/5 · US Happy! Happy! Happy!: I haven’t flown in over 10 years but United Airlines has made this a very easy experience. I even got a window seat just by filling out my preferred seating on the app! It made my day!!! Thank you United Airlines!!!
27. [R64] United Airlines 5/5 · US So convenient!: I’m new to the United app and am so pleased with how easy it is to use and how everything you need is at your fingertips!!
28. [R65] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 1/5 · US Persistent Ads: Enjoyed the app for about 2 weeks, didn’t mind the periodic ads. But now the ads that pop up cover the entire screen and make you sit through several seconds before the “X” appears in the corner to close. If that’s not bad enough, pressing the “X” takes you to the App Store instead of closing the ad, then when you close that, another ad pops up in its place. It seems now that I sp
29. [R68] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 1/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads
30. [R69] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 4/5 · US Adds are bad: Everything is fine just the free tier has lots of adds
31. [R70] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 3/5 · US Add unless you pay: It’s okay but it makes you pay a subscription to go no adds
32. [R79] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US SCAM WEBSITE: Skyscanner lets scam third party websites onto the platform I just got scammed and when I tried to write sky scanner the skyscmner “help “ part of the website made it IMPOSSIBLE to send my complaint…Skyscanner platform wouldn’t let me send the 4 pieces of proof showing how the website Skyscanner sent me to, SKY TOURS, and this I was SCAMMED. Btw SKYTOURS, three phone numbers, all fa
33. [R80] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 5/5 · US Great App: I recently discovered Skyscanner while planning a trip to Europe. I love that it connects you to so many options for flights, accommodations, tours, etc. and all your confirmation info, pin #, receipts, correspondence, etc., is all in one spot.
34. [R88] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US DO NOT TRUST BUDGET AIR: I booked through SkyScanner and unfortunately, they include Budget Air which is a scam company. Look up their reviews. All one stars. I reached out to support and told them not to reach out to Budget Air, and they did the exact opposite. I hardly write reviews, but this is crazy. I booked through Budget Air, only to find out they canceled my flight without my consent the s
35. [R89] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 5/5 · US Orlando trip: So convenient and the price was the cheapest.. I highly recommend…
36. [R95] FlightAware Flight Tracker 3/5 · US Details absent: Can’t find what planes recently landed. Need to go pick up friends and have a time but not the airline or if they are delayed. I used to be able to get info from this app but it shows no planes have arrived all day. Maybe it’s the new renaming of the airport causing a fiasco?
37. [R97] FlightAware Flight Tracker 5/5 · US What great resource: I depend on this much more than what the Airline tells me.
38. [R104] FlightAware Flight Tracker 3/5 · US Love: I’m a plain nerd and I like to keep track of flights where they’re going in when they’re coming and when I see a plane, I need to look it up right away or I feel this compulsion. Flight aware is my go to app as I can instantly find out what why and where and I love it thank you.
39. [R106] FlightAware Flight Tracker 5/5 · US Impressive: I continue to be surprised and impressed by the features and information this app provides. I’ve had it less than a week and have already upgraded from a free to a premium subscription. I’m not an aviator either - the tools the app has for them look very extensive and useful. Downloaded the app originally because I have a little boy with autism who loves watching planes come and go, I
40. [R110] Flighty 5/5 · US Awesome: I love the way the app tracks my flights and alerts me of delays and changes. I especially love the statement at the end of the year with all the miles, cities and time traveling
41. [R116] Flighty 5/5 · US Must have: I’ve tried just about every flight tracking app out there, and Flighty is in a league of its own. If you travel even a few times a year, it’s worth every penny. The real-time updates are consistently faster than the airlines, the delay predictions are incredibly accurate, and the app gives you information you didn’t even know you needed, like where your aircraft is coming from, whether
42. [R120] Flighty 5/5 · US amazing deatailed app: this app gives you so much amazing info while maintaining it to be legible and understandable to anyone who doesn’t understand flights. the app design is personally award winning and i love the quirky prices of info it gives you. amazing 100/10
43. [R92] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 5/5 · US Excelentes: Primera vez q la uso y me pareció fácil su acceso y los precios no son los más altos ni los más baratos, tienen un precio módico oh intermedio
44. [R93] FlightAware Flight Tracker 1/5 · US Ads: Ads suck !
