I have rushed and got the paid version of AppintheAir, two days ago. Not impressed at all.
As many have already said, this app has A LOT of features that just clutter the screen, without being useful.
The alerts system is very cumbersome (at least to me).
One cannot segregate flights into different trips: the app only lists all flights chronologically.
A VERY annoying thing is that the app has a popup message that pushes you to review the app in the app store. This message pops us regularly (every few minutes or so) and it cannot be fully dismissed unless you actually review the app!
This app was probably the LEAST useful thing I have ever bought for $50.
I cannot believe there really is no app (even a paid one!) out there that comes close to FlightTrack!
I wish a bunch of smart kids looked into building such an app (but only after seeking input/advice from potential users, who can say what SHOULD and what SHOULD NOT be in included in an app like this). I guess this would even be a good candidate for crowdfunding? I would gladly contribute and I am sure others would too.
