Completed flights are automatically archived and post to your Flight Log that is basically myFR24. So... no need to even do anything.

Export is not yet built. We are a team of 3, bootstrapped for 1.5 years on ramen, we didn't want VC overlords or ulterior motives - so we had to ruthlessly prioritize. I can assure you, we would build export is Flighty ceased to exist (not looking likely). Follow me on Twitter and you'll know I wouldn't stand for that, and we are flight nerds too - we wouldn't want our data trapped so we don't want to trap yours.

First let me say why I believe our price is already a great value:
No one combines the amount of data we do, replaces as many apps as we do, has the features we do, has the notification speed we do, or is built to continue succeeding like we are. We use FlightStats, FlightAware, FAA, AviationEdge, Weather, hopefully more SWIM soon, and likely some Eurocontrol.
Right now you all likely use FlightAware for Tails, FR24 for tracking, FAA OIS for mandates, something crappy for push alert changes, and then FlightDiary/FlightMemory - we replace all those AND constantly PUSH the data so you don't have to anxiously refresh all day praying you won't miss something, AND build in a user-centric mindset. You honestly should try it. 14-Day Free Trial and/or Free Forever plan too. Pretty much no risk.
Sorry I get passionate... to answer your actual question
our roadmap is SO chocked full of never-before properly executed ideas... trust me delivering new stuff isn't an issue. I came from Apple and already built another successful iOS app so I know how to prioritize and execute and constantly ship. The app has been out for 6 days and we've already updated in twice!

Here's some raw honesty: I don't know. As I said a second ago, we pull in an insane amount of data. Remember though, we are flight nerds looking to make an app for us and you. Not looking to make VC's money or retire on an island. THIS IS retirement to me, this is what I like to do, I want to keep making it for years.

30 days is extremely rare for apps (or point me to ones I'm missing please). I'm taking all kinds of feedback on our model right now though, so fully noted. Appreciated.

Yep, we use FlightStats (among many other). We can *not* look up before 2005 right now. Actually, y'all are the perfect source for that info - where can we get that? We DO pull in exact past tails

Works on iPad now. Plans for Mac, yes. Plans for web, no.

Honestly yall should just give it a try, 14-days free and/or free forever plan so there's no risk. TripIt sync is unlimited so you can fill it instantly. And I'd love your feedback, like this.
