too many ads. too long to stop the ads. it used to be a better app
Absolutely rubbish.. It used to work in the past but now you just see ads and the app never loads.
It was a great app, but again it has stopped working. Apparently some airports no longer have flights. Tried it on two devices, both have issues.
Since becoming a paid app, it’s become increasingly unstable and frustrating. Flight updates are often a full day late, making it unreliable. Every time I reboot my phone, the widget goes blank and has to be deleted and re-added just to work again. When it was free, it worked flawlessly and was dependable. Now it’s only useful for basic flight times, which isn’t worth paying for. Very disappointing overall.
Used to be a great app. Now it is impossible to use. Adds hijack this app. When I go to search for flights, adds pop up with no way put of the adds, except to go to the playstore. I am looking for something else now. Look at the dates of the positive reviews. they were all back when the app worked.
They abandoned support for the paid version of this app. They don't respond to emails.
Ads have become excessive to the point of making it unusable. Looking for a good replacement.
spoiled by ads
The most annoying ads I've ever seen in an app. useless.
Downloaded app, then was suckered into a $3.99 non refundable subscription for 1 month since there is no trial period. Found out in less than a minute this app is not what I was looking for.
paid for subscription since 5 or so years ago. used to be good, now I can't even search for departure flights from certain airports. why.
This used to be a useful app (ca. 2017/2018), but its current iteration now bombards you with ads when you boot it up, do flight searches, and other things, right when you need it to work smoothly the most. "X" or close buttons on the ads are misleading and instead open URLs via web browser/apps via Play Store. I'm surprised that this was still deemed compliant by the Play Store.
Used to be good but now with full screen ads that you can't close is a pain in the @ss. Fighting with ads and force close this app - meanwhile forgot the flight number I came to track. Uninstalled after years.
the Ads make the App barely functional
too many ad and you can‘t close it.
just trash. completely inaccurate flt schedule. is this app a joke???
way too many ads that don't let you back to the app regardless of what you do
This was so good until the latest and last update. Prior to this update, the app would sync with tripit and have the correct flight. Now it downloads all legs of the same flight number and thus making the syncing function very inconvenient. Yes, you can manually select the flight from tripit, but then there's not much difference in finding your own flight. This was the best feature by far compared to all other tracking apps. I used to pay for it annually, now it's not worth it. They won't fix it
way to many ads
Really excessive ads everywhere. I want to pay for a premium ad-free version, but I'm only a light flyer and don't want to pay a recurring subscription. Please add a ONE-OFF payment option, maybe JUST for removing the excessive ads, but reserve the alerts and reminders for the subscription option.
The ADS are out of control. You can't even click out of it. It used to be good...now it's just ads. I'm uninstalling it
used this for years until now when you open it, it opens an ad with no way to close it and makes the app 100% useless
Used to be a good app, now inaccessible because of ads and previous features now locked away behind a pay-for-premium wall. Even flight notifications are behind their paywall. When you first open the app to check your loved ones flight, you have to sit through gaming ads. All carriers have their own apps now that will give you flight update notifications for free with no ads. I'm uninstalling this one.
Very disappointed. Before they had a full buy out purchase plan for the app so you skip ads, now they've stopped updating the old version for paid users, and switched to monthly plan. Unfortunately they've also removed many features from old app. Not gonna use this bloated version.
loads of ads. unusable
too much ads
It used to be the best flight tracker. Now it is fully unusable, a non stop advertising of the same primitive game.
I open the app and it immediately pops up with an ad you can close, however when you get to the flight you want to track, another ad opens up and you cannot close it. Furthermore, when you hit the back button, they have strategically placed a play store app link so you cannot hit the back button to exit out of the ad. This app is ridiculous. Do NOT install.
Never let's you know when there is a delay
I have the paid membership but all I get for my flight is "this flight is probably en route". it worked better when i had the free version
only ads pop up, wants you to pay
don't bother, they got greedy and now trying to trick ppl into clicking on Ads by changing or putting in fake X, when you click to close the add it tries to install... I used it for over 5 years, but it just got worse, not it does not even track correctly, flight has not even left the Air port and it shows a fake flight path ! I'm going to uninstall.
With constant ads that won't allow an exit, this app has become unusable! Uninstalling and good riddance.
v bad app. adds only
The pop up ads on this app are RIDICULOUS! I can barely see what I'm looking for before a long add for some game or app shows up.
ads are intrusive. sometimes you can't close the ads to get back to the app.
used to be a very good app... but, it's showing of delays is very confusing, and on some screens it's not when apparent. uninstalling.
Has gone downhill. Never lists terminal until day of flight. Now is awful for updating delays and Kate arrivals
Your ads became so aggressive, they take over the phone for a while. I rarely use your app, once a month or less. It doesn't justify a subscription. I will look for something else. It's a shame you take a good app and ruin it with extreme ads that stay on the screen for way too long. This is good for business?
The ads are more intrusive than they used to be. I was becoming very frustrated trying to add two flights to a trip. The app is almost impossible to use at this point.
It works in a pinch. I paid for the ad free version. No ads but not very accurate. Real time tracking is off and the arrival departure times are off. I get better info from a different free app. Cancelled my subscription to this one. Then deleting it.
Fantastic application, very useful, even if are not subscribed viewer you get lot information for free
Can't track AT206; the information isn't udpated
awful application
too many pop ups
Not coming up todate and can't see the flight. You help me , so that I can observe the flight. I want to you why this is hapening. You can't chit like this way. Thanks ,
Intrusive ads and inaccurate information.
This app use to not have as many adds. I realize that you need to make money, but this is over the top.
Very weak. no calendar integration... graphics are very bad...
