Travel Technology - Best iPhone Apps for Flight Tracking

I'm considering one of those iPhone apps that will allow me to track flights. There seem to be quite a few options and price ranges.

I'm considering the Flight Status one. There is also a new one iFly Pro that has the flight tracker but also has a built-in airport guide with terminal maps and what seems to be a cool way to see what food/stores/etc are in each terminal, and where.

Anybody use either of these? Any other suggestions?

Really depends what you need. I'm mostly concerned with gates and arrival/departure times. I tried a bunch and ended up with FlightTrack Pro, which really does the job. It uses TripIt as its partner and works perfectly for me.

Agreed. FlightTrack Pro is really nice although some of the information (FAA delays & closures, weather forecast, etc.) is only available for US airports. Additionally using TripIt you can subscribe your flight itinerary to your iCal and it'll show up as calendar entries with durations, etc. Quite handy.
