hi everyone, please go update to version v3.4.1 it has performance improvements for users with LOTS of flights, which I think is many of you!

The market size and data for those flights is orders of magnitude smaller than commercial so that's why it's not as prioritized (obviously). When are the top exact scenarios you'd want to use it for and how?

Will the statistics off those flights still be available if the 1 week subscription expires?
Yes. We would not delete flight data if your subscription ends.

Thanks, love the app!
I understand the request, but I can see many many ways it would go bad quickly! Maybe we can add a "Delegate" permission, where you can grant only exact friend's to control your flights. 🤔 No promises, but I get the request.

We just released v3.4.1 which fixed a sync performance issue for users with a LOT of flights, so maybe you fall into that bucket? Because TripIt sync should be near instant, especially if you open Flighty. But if you do things like Low Power Mode or weak cell signal or low battery – sync will be slower to happen.

I agree it would be super cool... haven't quite come up with the business case versus the other also very super cool stuff we have planned for yall this year. But we have them and are playing with them and thinking!

Hmm, similar to above (low power mode and update to v3.4.1) but are you saying it NEVER syncs to Flighty?

Huh, really sorry about that. It sounds like something weird was going on... Do you fly SQ often and this was an anomaly where we were late on these 2 flights?
