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.
I thought I'd come back after almost two months of trying several other apps to say that, in my humble opinion, the closest that gets to Flight Track Pro is Flight Update Pro. I am sure others would disagree but to me Flight Update Pro worked best. It still lacks a few tweaks here and there but the developer was very quick to responding to suggestions (by email) and has already implemented many of the suggestions in the latest update.
