I cannot find either Flight+ or The Flight Tracker in Play Store. Is it iOS only? What's the name of the developer?
I downloaded App in the Air and I like it in general and it has Tripit Integration. However, I hate the $40 a year subscription for real time alerts.
Airline Flight Status Tracking also has Tripit Sync as an add-on. but the GUI feels cluttered.
Darn, I miss my old Flight Track Pro!

I am bummed to see that Mobiata's no longer populating the servers with flight info. I fondly remember (more than once) being notified of a delay before the info was posted on the gate monitors or announced by the gate agents. I called the airline, got rebooked, packed up my stuff, walked towards the new gate, and then heard the announcement!

I do see that it does show actual/scheduled departures arrivals now, so that's good. It's live flight map though is completely off.

Anybody tried the $10 Flight Update Pro, from Silverware Software? The app description on iOS positions itself as a direct replacement for FlightTrack Pro, but the reviews are mixed. Would love to know how others are getting on with it.

edit: just caved and bought it. It just froze when I tried to search my flight...I'll report back in a bit. I also fly tomorrow so can provide something a little more through then.
edit2: tried searching a sample den-lar. Couldn't find LAR. It gave me the option to manual enter it and then...crashes. That's two crashes within a minute on my first two tries using it. now 15 minutes in and I've not been able to figure out how to save a flight I've searched for...

Crap. I was going to give it a go, but I'll skip it for $10 if it is such a crashinator.

Flight+ is only available for apple devices at Impala Studios

Looks like Impala has a flight board app too

Breaking up is hard to do...

pAfter trying everything shown in this thread I am beginning to settle in on Flight+ (now Flight Tracker).
Do any of you have opinions regarding the timeliness/accuracy of flight update information on this app?
Thanks,
David

So after using all these new suggested apps, my recommendation is The Flight Tracker(formerly flight+). Its notifications were pretty much spot on. The only issue I have is that it incorrectly alerts you when the plane lands, saying "plane arrived at H9 at 13:24" when in fact it still needs to taxi to the gate (which then updates again). The flight map in the app however is pointless as it just shows the plane traveling along a great circle route, which the planes don't follow exactly.
i didn't have any delays so didn't get to see how they fare. Please do not pay $9.99 for flight update pro, it's easily the worst of the apps I used. Slow notifications and lots of bugs all around, not to mention looking like it was developed by a 5th grader. It couldn't find the type of airplane I was on (MD-82), and the phone number for American it gave me was definitely not a US phone number. FlightView (free) was average all around, but did have a better flight map.

In the past, I always thought flight24's flightboard was the same as flightboard but only recently when I used it did I notice it doesn't provide any gate information so it serves a different purpose. What's the closest replacement for the Android side for FlightTrack Pro?
