Customer Reviews
Great App
Graphics are very good. One of my favorite features is the "inbound to my gate" option that allows you to determine when your airplane will arrive at your departure gate when the inbound flight has a different flight number than your outbound flight. Also, the customer service is excellent. If you have any problems with the app, the programmer gets back to you quickly and if necessary an update fix is at the app store pronto. I fly almost every week and I use this app frequently. I highly recommend it.
Quick Response!
I submitted a concern to the developer and received a response by the following morning with a solution.
As far as the app itself is concerned, I use it daily as an airline pilot and have had no accuracy issues. It combines the functions of several websites into one interface; how could you not like that?
Awesome and super useful app
Just used this app for the first time yesterday, for an international flight, wonderful data, updates quickly.
Only area for improvement is the map, currently the map is more or less centered on NA and EU, I wish I could swipe to show the pacific, especially for Asian flights.
