1. [R1] FlightStats 1/5 · US Incorrect gate information in ATL: Flight attendant here. I cannot rely on flight stats, many times have the incorrect gate posted.
2. [R15] FlightStats 3/5 · US Incorrect Info: Why are you showing flights leaving Terminal 2 at JFK when that terminal is closed and being demolished? Have had to start using Flight Tracker app as much more accurate.
3. [R21] FlightStats 3/5 · GB Big problem with false information yesterday: This was a five star app but yesterday it showed a live flight DL 30 Atlanta to Heathrow as cancelled when it was flying. This is bad when expecting international travellers. Please investigate.
4. [R42] FlightStats 1/5 · US Statuses of flights way off: Sitting in a plane at the gate still & your app says we took off almost an hour ago! Almost funny to be that inaccurate!
5. [R3] FlightStats 3/5 · US What happened?: Used to be a very reliable app…can’t even create a free account anymore. Had high hopes but now it’s just useless.
6. [R7] FlightStats 2/5 · US Like the app: But it crashes every time I create an account so I am stuck on using as an unregistered user.
7. [R10] FlightStats 1/5 · US inoperative: Tried multiple times to create account…never sent email confirmation. Very frustrating!
8. [R12] FlightStats 3/5 · US Date: I can’t schedule dates the for future flights.
9. [R16] FlightStats 1/5 · US Bad UI: I tried to search for a flight on a future date, but it wouldn’t let me.
10. [R22] FlightStats 1/5 · US Bug made it unusable: Seemed ok at first, got a couple flights added and wanted to add my returning flight that was set for the following month but it wouldn’t let me change the month. No matter what I tried, the date in the search field was set in stone and I couldn’t change it. Uninstalled.
11. [R25] FlightStats 1/5 · US Date not working: Today is May 23 and my flight is May 28. I was unable to change the month at all, and the date displaying at first is May 20 and then it will only allow me to change the date to May 26. If I delete that info and start over, again it starts off showing May 20 and only will only change to May 26. Thought it was my phone…. but nope, it does exactly the same thing on my husband’s pho
12. [R6] FlightStats 3/5 · US Apple Watch app: What happened to the great Apple Watch app? Please bring it back.
13. [R24] FlightStats 3/5 · GB More of a comment: Version 3, new UI? It's the same as before, still really ugly. What has changed?
14. [R27] FlightStats 3/5 · GB Quite confusing and covered in ads: Wanted to like this, but it’s so covered in ads that it’s hard to tell what’s flying when.
15. [R29] FlightStats 5/5 · US Watch?: Love this app. It’s very accurate! I just wish that it could go back to being on the Apple Watch as well.
16. [R13] FlightStats 1/5 · US Horrible: When opening app and checking flight status, right under flight info I’m presented with a clickbait about a “Breaking: Plane Crash” notification. It was for a plane crash from 5-months back but really. If someone was not aware they could be devastated. Obviously an ad but really, you don’t monitor for things like this? Very displeased.
17. [R8] FlightStats 5/5 · US Recent changes: I got a new phone and the FS app is now giving me all the companies (Alaska/AA etc.) that do the same flight. I preferred the old postings, wish I knew how to get back to that?! Otherwise it works great 99% of the time !
18. [R9] FlightStats 3/5 · US Used to be great: What’s the deal with the list of vendors asking for approval to track users of this app?
19. [R38] FlightStats 2/5 · US Limitations: Cant see more than 3 days out, sometimes 4 if the app is feeling “cute” Some days the app has to be reset. Other days it doesnt matter. A flight that should be found is sometimes not found (database update or app reset sometimes does not help) Only direct flights can be shown Departures/Arrivals broken down by the hour. This is a major pain when theres a lot of flights. Theres no
20. [R51] 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
21. [R54] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 1/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads
22. [R55] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 4/5 · US Adds are bad: Everything is fine just the free tier has lots of adds
23. [R59] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 3/5 · US Incomplete Flight Info: This app has been awesome to see what is flying overhead. However, the app owners have decided to erase flight logs and inform
24. [R65] 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
25. [R66] 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.
26. [R68] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 2/5 · US Usually great, but some frustrating caveats: I’ve found great airfare with Skyscanner before, but a frustrating issue I run into is the fares shown in the search look very promising, but when I click on that flight, all of a sudden the price of fares doubles. It’s very annoying and feels like a bait and switch.
27. [R70] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 3/5 · US Very basic, use Google Flights for long term flight tracking!: It’s great for last minute bookings, also used Skiplagged for last minute flight booking. There used to be the filter for choosing different continents, well they got rid of that which is a bummer. However there algorithms for flight prices has been more accurate. Unfortunately, for long term flight tracking details I’d recommend Googl
28. [R91] 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
29. [R79] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Was cool: It used to be free. Now it’s six bucks a week.
30. [R80] 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
31. [R82] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US $$$: Why is the subscription based now…???
32. [R83] Flight Tracker + 5/5 · US Very Easy: The app is very easy to navigate
33. [R93] Flighty 2/5 · US Inconsistent and delayed updates: I get email alerts of gate changes and delays, which are accurate. But the app itself doesn’t refresh properly. I need to delete the flight and re-enter. Until this is fixed, I can’t rely on this app.
34. [R94] Flighty 5/5 · US 5 star: My mom loves this app, sees everywhere I go
35. [R97] Flighty 5/5 · US Essential to travel: Absolutely love Flighty. Been using it for three years now and it helps me keep track of my flights, my friends’ flights, and as an EA, my employer’s flights. I get notified about changes and delays before the airline notifies me. And as someone who loves planes and air travel, I love little things like knowing if I’ve flown a particular aircraft before! Keeping track of all t
36. [R98] Flighty 3/5 · US Issues with Connecting with Friends: The app makes it impossible to search for friends, see friends in contacts, or even to allow to share people to add. Fix this immediately!
37. [R61] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 5/5 · US Best app: Bro I just got this app 2 days ago, I loved the app. That’s why I love planes, I wanted to get this app. There was just SOOOO many planes. Like, literally the best app EVER!
38. [R64] Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker 5/5 · US Five stars: My favorite app! I spend more time on your app than anything else on my phone. 👍please don’t raise the monthly fee
39. [R11] FlightStats 5/5 · US Best flight tracking app we’ve found: We have downloaded & deleted so many flight tracker apps because they just do not perform as needed. Flightstats very good with all pertinent info right in front of you. Also, best LIVE flight tracking map we’ve seen. Bonus is it’s free. For now…. Many thanks to developers!
40. [R26] FlightStats 5/5 · US Best flight tracker ever!!: So many of these flight sites want to charge you … and then they’re so complicated u need a graduate degree to figure out how to use them!!! So glad that FLIGHTSTATS keeps it SIMPLE and FREE to use .. and most important USER FRIENDLY!!!
41. [R46] FlightStats 1/5 · US Disappointed: Not all the same functionality as when it was free not worth $3 per month!
42. [R106] Flighty 5/5 · US Gives accurate and advance knowledge and tracking: If knowledge is power, flighty gives you super powers. It has given me notice of delays and cancellations that let me start rebooking before the airlines even let others know about it.
