FlightAware Flight Tracker

The login process to this app is ridiculous. Even though I set it up with a password and an email it keeps on emailing me a code that I have to enter in. Every single time. And, It's impossible to figure out how to track future flights. If it's not happening at the moment It can't be found. Also, when I am trying to look up a flight it thinks I'm logging in and so it retrieves my password and puts it in for the flight number. This app is useless.

It seems to be a great app at first, paid to remove ads. Unfortunately when i was trying to register as new user. I kept getting the same generic error message, saying 'the username name is unavailable'. I have tried multiple options, and still getting the same result. At least tell me what went wrong in error message, so that I can fix it. Very frustrating for app I just paid for. And without login to the app, I can't even use 'flight alert'. Think twice if you're getting this app.

Being a chauffeur, this app has been really helpful! 😁 ...but sometime within the last month I can no longer see the recent searches unless I'm connected to Wi-Fi, which makes it harder to keep up to date shuttling pilots & crew. 🙁 Plus, apparently a few pilots have told me they're recently having problems, but I can't remember what those are (I just remember they're different issues than mine).

Good for free, some bugs. Two main ones I experienced are 1. In the Android app, if you change an alert to be for only one day, the summary still shows that it is alerting you indefinitely. 2. In the website, you can say how much of a heads-up you need on a flight. The default is 45 minutes, and you can change it, but if you "edit" again in order to see if your change stuck, it still shows 45 minutes.

Barely has information I need - not all information I'd like. Tends to freeze during flight tracking. Rarely do I prefer the desktop version but in this case I do. ----------------- OK, 2 years later ... web version of FlightAware is still a better choice. Quicker, more informative ... and doesn't use system resources when not in use. Not sorry, still barely 2 stars.

App is generally functional; however, when viewing any given aircraft on the map, the position does not continuously update as it does in a web browser. In order to get an updated position, you have to refresh the page, usually multiple times. Also, whenever you select a flight, the map starts zoomed way out so you can see North and South America, instead of showing a more localized view of the aircraft and route.

The very best of the free flight trackers. The flight search is intuitive and useful. You don't have to know arcane airline codes or airport codes. You can just use the airline name and flight number, and it prompts you with a list to pick from. You can mark multiple flights as favorites so you can track them all from one page. I've tried a couple of other flight trackers with better ratings or more downloads. This one is better.

Good app! Always room for improvement. Very easy to use. Would like to be able to connect device to monitor or TV to see flight tracking info. Currently only see startup script. Would also like feature that allows you to hear flight chatter. (I currently use a separate radio for that). Lastly, would like a feature that allows a camera installation to capture pics of flights as they pass overhead. I live very near an active runway and military base.

Works for the most part but the user interface could use a lot of work. Won't let me remove an item from "My Aircraft," a flight I'm tracking won't refresh, and just a clunky user experience overall. 2024/01/24 Updating to 4 stars. My review is probably a bit harsh. I guess I've become used to the interface and have come to rely on this app whenever we travel.

For free, its a Nice app to check Gates, Terminals, Departing time change, of your commercial flights. However there is some small interface issues, not to friendly. Like if you tracking by registration number, it will track ok, then I tried to see details of the aircraft, like pictures, but can find details. Since I have an iphone too, i can tell, The Android version is better and freedom than the iphone.

Was once a great app. Now super difficult to use. 1) There's a blocked plane I can't remove from my aircraft. No matter how many times I delete it, the aircraft returns. 2) The app never stays logged in. I must log in at each use of it, and the new log in process is a painful three step process, all for protecting unimportant information such as the list of planes I track.

Like so many apps now, wants to bombard you with notifications. however, unlike other apps, it's impossible to use unless you agree to receive notifications. The programmers have set it so there's no way to get past the "want notifications" pop-up without agreeing to notifications.

Super powerful if you want to notified, by push notification, email to yourself, or email to someone else, about any event of a specified flight. It's also the only app I could find that does this without having to get a paid subscription. Only feedback is that the default ("classic") map type in the "Nearby me" tab is just really low resolution, which lead me to change to the "street" map type, which is essentially Google Maps, but it isn't designed or optimized to have a flights overlay.

When it decides to work, it's great. The "verifying your a human" regularly hangs. App recognises my email address but I never receive the authentication code. And yeah, I check the spam folder -- it just never arrives. People need to stop tinkering with their apps, it usually doesn't seem to work out well.

It never shows when the flight is delayed. Always mention on time, scheduled etc. Even a Google search can give you better information. However I like the way it shows the number of hours elapsed etc. detail and it usually shows the landing time correctly.

Trying app for first time and trying to set notifications for a flight scheduled later today (29th). After I set the notifications the flight that gets saved is for the previous day and has already arrived. It will not set the notification for the correct date.

Used to be fine,but now it's not letting me choose the flight I want to track - I select a flight for tomorrow and it gives me one that's arrived today. Why would I want to track a flight that's already landed - I can get that from the airport. Hope it's just a year end glitch.

Why does your app keep signing me out every day? Why can't we stay signed in? And why do you make it SOOO hard to sign in (login, then emailed code, THEN authenticator code) It's a flight tracker, not a crypto wallet... Come on. What are you protecting? Why don't you implement biometrics like my bank app, do I can login without needing to go to 2 other apps, just to login to add an alert for a flight?

Tried others that did not work but had 4.5 stars and higher. This one was very quick and very easy. Put in airline and flight number pulled up everything I needed and didn't ask for a rating or membership when I opened it either.

Using Flightaware for ages on a PC and it's the app of my choice - on a computer... In comparison, the app is a disaster. First, logging in wasn't possible. I was told to check my email for a code but nothing ever arrived. (A procedure by the way, that works fine on a PC.) So I started without being logged in, searched for a specific flight (that is currently on my PC screen), but the map in the app was completely blank. Or I better say, white. And finally I found the delete button for this app.
