Ratings and reviews

Like so many apps now, wants to bombard you with notifications. however, unlike other apps, it's impossible to use unless you agree to receive notifications. The programmers have set it so there's no way to get past the "want notifications" pop-up without agreeing to notifications.

When it decides to work, it's great. The "verifying your a human" regularly hangs. App recognises my email address but I never receive the authentication code. And yeah, I check the spam folder -- it just never arrives. People need to stop tinkering with their apps, it usually doesn't seem to work out well.

Super powerful if you want to notified, by push notification, email to yourself, or email to someone else, about any event of a specified flight. It's also the only app I could find that does this without having to get a paid subscription. Only feedback is that the default ("classic") map type in the "Nearby me" tab is just really low resolution, which lead me to change to the "street" map type, which is essentially Google Maps, but it isn't designed or optimized to have a flights overlay.
