I too was also wondering about this.
They say time heals all wounds, and it seems like only now am I getting over FlightTrack Pro. I still can't believe how awesome it was. So fast, so sleek, very easy to use interface....I miss it

AppInTheAir is rather decent and interface is pleasing, unlike TripIt (which is a disaster, I agree).

I manily use FlightTracker still. Still not fully happy about it, but it is the closest (to me) to what FlightTrackPro was. I wish the developer kept paying attention to users’ feedback (they did that for a while but then got lazy or bored or lost interest). Appintheair is too fancy/cluttered for my taste (tried it again today, having deleted it from my phone months ago). If at least would allow users to organize flights by trips as well, not just by date and time. If for instance I track two trips that overlap in time, there is no way to select just one trip (and see the itinerary of that person only) - you always get to see the entire list of flights, organized by date and time. I really hate that. There are other (less important) things I dislike about Appintheair, but the lack of ability to organize flights other than by date and time is my main beef with it.

FlightTrack 6
Hi everybody,
Just like you I was also very disappointed as FlightTrack 5 was discontinued. Which is why I spend the last couple of months building a replacement. I am using the same data provider as mobiata (FT5) to ensure accurate and fast information. This data comes at a cost which is why I'm not able to give away the app for free and push notifications require a monthly charge, which is why they are not implemented yet.
However this is an App you don't have to wait for and I am happy to hear your feedback and improve upon it. It's also much faster and more intuitive than the current solutions, which I've tried as well.
I encourage you to have a look on the AppStore: FlightTrack 6

To give an example, I tried to input a BL (Jetstar Pacific) flight from DLI to HUI. None of the two airports are recognised by your app.

Looking forward to checking out this new option. I went with FlightView a while back when FlightTrack ended. It was fine for a while but I stopped using it since it just wasn’t the same.

My favorite so far has been The Flight Tracker, but I would appreciate a little more information like the plane type e.g. Besides that, many times The Flight Tracker does not display the gate numbers.
Thus, I decided to take a look at Flightlogger. Looks nice, has aircraft information, seems to have most of the gate numbers. What I find highly irritating though is that a trip of 4 legs gets displayed in 2 blocks of 2 legs each. The first block contains the flight date, leg 1, and leg 2 with next day arrival. The second block contains the next day's flight date with leg 3 and leg 4. Can't find any way to change that.

Mobiata Flight Track Pro Replacement: Flightfolio
We feel just as sad Flight Track got shutdown. We are actually working on a replacement called Flightfolio. As an avid former Flight Track Pro user, this project was inspired by Mobiata's product because it was so well-done and well designed (we have a mobile designer on our team). We are also planning to integrate with the same high-quality data provider. If you follow us on Facebook, you will be notified when we launch our Kickstarter.
facebook .com/flightfolio
Unfortunately the aviation data has proven to be too expensive to launch a premium free app without a little help from the community. That's why we are in the process of setting up a Kickstarter. Our promise is to bring back the features and user experience that made Flight Track Pro great.
Feel free to reply to this comment if you have any questions!
