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. [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
  2. [R4] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US $$$: Why is the subscription based now…???
  3. [R10] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Free version is pointless: Free version is pointless. Better off getting flight radar
  4. [R64] 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.
  5. [R5] Flight Tracker + 5/5 · US Very Easy: The app is very easy to navigate
  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. [R93] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 3/5 · GB App crashes: The app might do a few searches and then crashes and is just frozen mid search. Used to work really well
  8. [R100] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US Hate the new app: The new app doesn’t work at all . Tried to search and it keeps going back to the old search
  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. [R49] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Unhappy: Every single update makes the app worse... I want my money back
  12. [R82] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US Keeps freezing: I don’t typically take the time to leave a review, but I’ve honestly been so annoyed by this app that I feel it’s only justified. Every time I try to use this freaking app it freezes on me and then I have to delete it and reload it. the website may be good. The app is a giant piece of garbage.
  13. [R1] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Was cool: It used to be free. Now it’s six bucks a week.
  14. [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!!
  15. [R25] Flight Tracker + 1/5 · US Effective a Subscription Only Service: An easy one to delete from my iPad's Home Screen. Pretty useless anyway.
  16. [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
  17. [R61] 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
  18. [R70] 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
