FlightTrack 5 App Reviews

Ive used FlightTrack Pro for years, so in good faith purchased this new version. No iCloud integration. No TripIt integration. Calendar integration is flakey. You have to create an Expedia account (just what I wanted - yet another account that wants access to all my contacts!) and now send all your trip info there instead of TripIt in order for it to appear on all devices. Fortunately FlightTrack Pro was still available to me and I have restored it. Now I am only out the amount I paid for the app, and no longer wasting my time. Ill certainly think twice before paying for another Mobiata app. 0 stars if I could!

The app has nice features, widget, push notifications (pretty much on time), seat map, etc. Unfortunately it lacks a lot...for instance, if youre on flight (or offline for any reason) the widget bar doesnt update with the scheduled data (you see how many minutes to the landing but the graphical bar doesnt change, making it quite useless). Its nice to send confirmation emails of the flights and have them automatically registered, but its crazy that in this case you cant do any edit (no way to put your seat number, remove one of the flights booked, etc.). Theyre also automatically removed when completed without any option to keep them in the app. If you register your flights manually on the other side, theres no a function like "archive" or so and the list of tracked flights become a mess. Also, if you sync with your calendars any change is not tracked. I was happy with this app initially, as I was hoping in such updates and other fixes...unfortunately almost no updates happened in almost 1 year...

Searching for certain flights on certain dates cause the app to get stuck and crash! This happens very often and so frustrating. Just for some absolutely random dates it crashes. Also, the app has duplicate flights on calendars for flights that were searched. Old app is much better. This app could be really much better if they took into account some small aspects that are important to the user!

Just received totally incorrect information stating a flight with our family had been diverted-very alarming & totally incorrect!

Not bad, but preferred the UI of the previous version and am lucky to still have it also. I generally use the older version.

This app is a complete waist of money, it cant even keep track of any delays, completely unreliable, I like my money back!

Just a waste of an update. Some other company has a huge opportunity to win this entire market. Just update the decent product you originally had!!!! What happened to Mobiata.

Not sure what all the hate in the reviews is all about. The UI has totally changed and I guess thats hard for established users. I think that most of the complaints are probably user error - the maps do pinch in and out, you can edit trips, the large plane icon is only there on the trip info page and not on the map page, etc. No longer syncs with TripIt only Expedia which is also made by the same developer so no surprise. There are some known bugs and limitations that are noted in the help pages. I find it reliable, easy to use and having the most data of any flight tracker app. And it does look nice! Its one of the few if not only app that distinguishes between leaving or arriving at the gate and actual liftoff or landing.

What did you do to this great app ...

The new version has too much swooping and zoom in. The original version was clean and quick. All too often on this version you get "stuck" on the map. I am very aware of geography. I dont need a map. I just want the detailed flight info back. FYI I use the original program on my phone.... I will not be using this version. Ever.

Wow, youve done a great job on this one...am amazing update (:

The UI is stunning, the app is more user friendly than the previous version. I only miss the sync..

Lost TripIt integration and "forgot" to mention it to customers who paid to upgrade

Guys what happened? Did you lose a bet and then had to do a cra**y "upgrade" of the app and have people pay for it? No, seriously, the new interface, seems fancy but it only complicates the main purpose of the app : view at the glance all importante information about the flights. I hope this is just a bad joke and you already fired these apprentice developpers and designers that had these "amazing" ideas of upgrading the app to what it is now. To be honest, there is one advantage of the upgrade and it is the widget. But you managed to mess that also, what is the point of keeping the widget dusplayed when there are no flights scheduled for the day? It add useless data to my notification center. I have serious doubts about the people that are testing the app, you cannot possible do it in real conditions with people actually using the app during travelling. Or, if you do, change the testing team, right away. Here are some, non exhaustive, elements that are a conplete downgrade and lost functionnalities compared to the previous version (thag I keep using): - no icloud sync, I will not comment on that, but this is jusg ridiculous nowadays and mostly because the previous version has it - calendar events contain a link with the flight info. I will telle you this is useless, actually you dont always have internet access to load the link. In the previous version, the calendar event contained the major flight data, such as departure and arrival time, as well as flight number. So imagine me calling my wife from the cab on road to the airport, and she asks me what time do I lend, well previously I got that in a short look on my calendar, now, I have to wait for the link to load, and if there is now internet connexion at the moment, oops. Think of people travelling internaionally, they do not always have internet access. Focus on real travellers, expand you testing scope to people that actually use the app, not to the one supposed to guess how the app must be used. - Already told yoy about the interface, so I will not enter in any more details - Notifications contain much less information about the flight compared to the previous version. Hooray, you have added the fancy "weels up" and "weels down" phrases, but hey, nobody cares, people prefer to see the details about the flight they are actually notified of. To finish, I am also sending this to you by email, as suggestions. I am also keen to help you improve the app, for free, and I am available to be part of the beta testing, as I am using the app since day one, I would be really sad if nothing changes and I have to move to another solution. Thanks

Why not the option for a recurrent flight??

I bought the Flighttrack pro last year and it simply disappeared this year. So I tried to get it again and needed to BUY AGAIN!!!

And no iCloud sync.

unfortunately no TripIt sync. Please readd!

There is no iCloud sync available anymore. :-( Is there any chance to migrate data from previous version 4.5????

Contrary to FlightTrack Pro no iCloud or Tripit connectivity !
