Flood of worthless notifications.
Let me turn off gate change notifications until an hour before the flight. Gosh I get nonstop united gate change notifications and it floods my app. No way to only turn those off. Fix it. The gate notifications are INSANE! Nonstop worthless 24 hours out.
It says delayed, it’s red! Oh no! Wait, it’s getting there 2 minutes “late”…. Try yellow. Don’t freak me out that I’m gonna be late if it’s two minutes. Need a way to turn off nonstop gate change alerts 24+ hours out. Allow us to tailor specific notifications.
The zoom in and zoom out animations are so unsafe for people who get motion sickness. This is not accessibility compliant. Give an option to limit motion.

Calendar Sync doesn’t work

Does t add much more than what you can get much more reliably from FloghtAware and today it never registered and still doesn’t my SW flight that is delayed for over an hour.

I had a flight on Israir and it doesn’t show up
Why so Highly Rated
Just started using a month ago and so far wrong and missing flights. Poor documentation and no ability to get response to issues found. This app has created more work than it should based off reviews I have seen. I have spent a lot of time on my part to make sure I have all my settings and entries correct and no resolution.
Error message
Friend sent me an invite and it won’t accept it. Just gives me the something went wrong. Uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing. Lame
It was good but bad now
Why is live screen behind a paywall
Update wrecked usability!
They took a perfect app, updated it and absolutely ruined it! It was super easy to add friends flights or move flights between "my flights" and "friends flights" Now they want you to send "sign up" links to them and there is no simple way to add "friends flights". Please Fix.
Useless after latest update
Congratulations. The latest update has made this app unusable. Looking for something else…
Entire App is an Ad for Pro
I used to admire Flighty and could get some use out of it even without Pro. But lately every time I open the app, first thing I’m shown is a splash screen for Pro. Most of the flight info is behind Pro. Developers need to seriously reevaluate the end-user experience before they plaster the app with banners for Pro.
Flighty fail today
American flight showing late on the American app and at the gate, however Flighty still showing on time with a “predicted” late take off. Why predicted? American is telling us we’re late…. Same issue again today. App is stupid that the airline is telling us it’s late and the app is showing in time with predicted delay. Pathetic that I’m paying for this.
