How I will have to pay for such an app (a one-time, lifetime subscription or every year) is the least relevant part for me. If the app does what is supposed to do, I will pay for it, yearly or one-time, it doesn’t really matter.
My actual concern is if the app will really be a good replacement for FlightTrack. As I wrote here previously, after FlightTrack’s demise I tried pretty much every app out there and none was even close to FlightTrack. All were a waste of money, as I deleted them after a few days. The only app that, in my opinion: 1.came closer to what FlghtTrack used to do and 2. was not cluttered with lots of useless stuff still is FlightUpdatePro. However, the developer(s) of FlightUpdatePro promised to listen to feedback and tweak the app to get it where it needed to be. This happened up to a point and then nothing. I really hope this will not be the case with Flightyapp but we will have to see. I cannot wait to play with the beta version. |
Actually I am having second thoughts. I would rather have this subscription based. This way, if the app won’t be what I hoped for, at least I will have less of rip-off feeling when I’ll be disappointed and I won’t renew the subscription. And I guess a subscription-based app will be a better incentive for the developer to keep it up.

Also, we will of course offer free trials if we go subscription based. Customer trust is important to us, and everyone should have a chance to try the product before they choose to pay for it. |

We are not going to recreate Flight Track, but hopefully create something even better.

The Original FlightTracker App
So I think we all know how good the original Flight Tracker app for iOS was. Sadly its been replaced by a bloated impostor that is full of useless info like all the codeshares and makes it difficult to see what plane the flight will be operated with etc. MyFlights is also no longer ;-( which I fear is irreplaceable. I feel 2017/2018 have seen a significant downgrade in terms of travel apps. I am now using:
Flightradar24 to search for flights on specific routes Tripit to keep things organised (but the interface has much to be desired) Flight Tracker to search/track flights but it is not by any means ideal. So FlyerTalk what apps are you using in 2018? |

I took a look at the actual URL, there are no errors in it. I also tested the it using several browsers in both regular and incognito/private modes. It works for me. Please try again.

Subscribed to the thread. Hoping for something a bit more sleek and visually pleasant like the original FlightTrack - Flight Update is too barren for my taste. We’re in 2018, after all.
|
Has the Beta app gone out yet? I don’t recall getting a email link to download.
|
How is the beta going? Would love to try this app out!
