Ratings and reviews

It seems to be a great app at first, paid to remove ads. Unfortunately when i was trying to register as new user. I kept getting the same generic error message, saying 'the username name is unavailable'. I have tried multiple options, and still getting the same result. At least tell me what went wrong in error message, so that I can fix it. Very frustrating for app I just paid for. And without login to the app, I can't even use 'flight alert'. Think twice if you're getting this app.

Good for free, some bugs. Two main ones I experienced are 1. In the Android app, if you change an alert to be for only one day, the summary still shows that it is alerting you indefinitely. 2. In the website, you can say how much of a heads-up you need on a flight. The default is 45 minutes, and you can change it, but if you "edit" again in order to see if your change stuck, it still shows 45 minutes.

Barely has information I need - not all information I'd like. Tends to freeze during flight tracking. Rarely do I prefer the desktop version but in this case I do. ----------------- OK, 2 years later ... web version of FlightAware is still a better choice. Quicker, more informative ... and doesn't use system resources when not in use. Not sorry, still barely 2 stars.
