Thanks for suggesting this additional option - it also seems potentially viable, along with FlightView, though in no way is an equal alternative to FlightTrack. I did some testing of it and it seems to have the limitation of only providing updates on departure and arrival time, and not some of the nuance around wheels up which is often really valuable. The UI is a bit better than FlightView and it has some nice features to look up Flight Boards in airports and for different airlines. There are alerts that seem to function reasonably well. Again - it's not quite the same.
Lucky at OneMileAtATime did a review of FlightStats as one app that he likes:

But I think it's super cluttered with ads, and lacking some of the advanced features of FlightView or Flight+.

I'm up in the air for Flight+ and FlightView, I may buy them each (only $4 each) and give them a go for my upcomming trip this Friday and see if any is better. I'm slightly leaning more towards flight+, with additional information from flightradar and flightstats as needed (plane reg, and scheduled vs estimated departures/arrivals).
