Flighty
Reviews and Complaints

I absolutely love this app. I’m also super glad that you incorporated Weather maps with the last update. May I make one suggestion to make this app even greater than it already is… any way to incorporate turbulence maps? For years I have used Fly Forecast for turbulence information for my trips. As of recently, this app is no longer updated. Thanks for a fantastic app!

Flighty is the best aviation tracking app. I am a subscriber and I’ve gifted it to others. That said, I do have some technical issues such as not-irregular crashes, not restoring my state (remembering if I was looking at my flights or friend flights), and bugs related to calendar sync when you have multiple devices. So, not perfect but even then I’m happy to recommend it.

Flight info is either updated once a minute with incredibly annoying alerts… or it's not updated at all.

At this very moment I'm on a plane still sitting at the terminal that Flighty says is "taxing to runway". #sigh

I don't see any value above what the airline apps already provide.

I signed up for a subscription, but I'm letting it lapse; it's just not worth anything.

I love this app for traveling. I wish a lot of the pro features would be available free such as delay alerts. The design is simple and easy to understand, data is accurate, and extensive feature set is great. The Home Screen widget is my favorite part. I love seeing a countdown to my next flight as I travel to see family. Thank you for creating and maintaining a great app!

Well worth the annual subscription, especially if you fly a lot. I typically get notifications faster than the airlines send them for major events like cancellations. The flighty team push valuable updates that doesn’t compromise the very well designed app and user experience. Latest updates for tracking friends and sharing flights makes team and family travel super simple.

Pretty useful for airline work. Tracking multiple inbound flights at once was great. Suddenly the pop-up’s X stopped working and became insufferable. I have to keep closing and reopening the app to use it. It’s so consistent it seems to be by design… irritate the user into paying. Create a problem, sell the solution for an unreasonable price. Not something I can get behind.

This is a wonderfully built app. Very useful for travel and beautiful to use and interact with.

The dynamic island and live activities work great and are a game changer. Kudos to the developer for implementing them so fast and so well.

I don’t use a single other app that has both of them implemented yet. Well worth the admission fee for even one trip. Highly recommended.

I fly a lot. I’ve been on 50 + flights already this year. I have all of the airline apps that let me know flight details, delays etc. the free version of this app, gives me the same data. Sure the developers would like access to my calendar and other personal data to harvest for profit, but I don’t understand the need here. Certainly see no value in paying for the PRO version.

Great app—I’ve been a subscriber for almost a year now and love Flighty’s updates, clear info, notifications on changes, etc. Love the watch app too.

Only criticism is that the live activity doesn’t always automatically appear in the dynamic island. Usually toggling on/off the live activity will make it work, but not always. If that was fixed it would make this a 5 star review.

This is a great app for passengers, family and friends. But even more powerful for pilots. Been using Flighty for a few years now and have loved every moment. It’s super helpful to input my monthly schedule to help keep track of gate or aircraft changes. Often sooner than a company notification. Perhaps a quicker way to input pilot schedules would be cool? Keep up the amazing work!

Paid plan: sometimes live activities do not trigger unless I open the app (I never “kill” the app). Would also LOVE an option/button to say “I took off now”. Sometimes you’re in airplane mode, there’s a delay on the runway, and then you leave- but flighty thinks you’re takeoff time is different since you’re in airplane mode. I would like to manually adjust my actual takeoff time.

I tried Flighty for the first time this week. Well, my United flight was canceled at the last minute and I got the Flighty notification so far in advance of the United notification that I was able to book an awesome seat on another flight before the rest of the 300+ people on the Dreamliner tried to rebook on the same flights. Awesome app, especially with the notifications enabled!

If you fly a ton this is probably worth it but if you occasionally fly then this is a very expensive option. Most options are behind a very expensive paywall that other apps do not have. For instance TripIt integration you need to be a pro member, any type of notification you need to be a pro member. Again the app seems powerful but only if you are willing to spend 50 dollars a year.

This app is incredibly simple yet full-featured. It’s quick to take advantage of every new iOS feature like Live Activities, widgets, and Dynamic Island. Even between travel, it’s a great way to catalog past flights and see cumulative metrics. One of very few apps that I keep installed on all my devices, and I recommend it to friends and family all the time. Thanks for an awesome app!

I normally never write reviews however, I wanted to write a review about this app because I enjoy it so much. I love the real live updates that are provided. The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t replace my other app by giving me my check in time, board time, takeoff time. If I could get that I will be able to completely get rid of my other app. Other than that this app is amazing.

LOVE this app. I use it for work all the time. It’s a lifesaver. It’s so useful for every aspect of my workday, in fact. I know what’s going on before my airline tells me what’s going on with my flight. If the onboard WiFi is down. I still know what’s going on with the flight. Including delays, cancellations, gate changes, aircraft changes etc.
Keep up the great work with an amazing app!

I go between loving this app and being annoyed by it. The ability to forward reservations was great -- except conformations from the US' 6th largest airline (Alaska) no longer work, and support is uselss.

Further, tracking of my last few flights have been off, often missing the fact that they ever took off or landed.

When it's good, it's good; but I would not recommend depending on this app.

Flighty looks like a beautiful app and has lots of potential. However, the implementation is terrible. I paid for a subscription and have had data issues (incorrect data) on my last three trips. The where’s my plane feature doesn’t seem to work at all—the data has never matched my flight. I have sent feedback and never heard a response. I want to like this app, but it’s just not worth the money.

Flighty not only is visually stunning, but it’s a delight to use. I’ve never used an app that so perfectly does everything it promises. The fact that it is still usable in airplane mode, while on a flight, is incredible.

My ONLY complaint is the pricing for the pro version. The lifetime plan is priced as much as five years of the subscription… That feels unreasonable to bet on ANY app for that long.

I have always been frustrated trying to find the flight tracking app that pulled the best of other flight trackers together. I HATED that I had to search several apps to over in the true picture.
FLIGHTY has brought it all together and as a pilot and frequent traveler, this data is critical to my life. FLIGHTY is the ONLY flight tracking app I have now and I trust it completely.
Thank you, FLIGHTY!
