Ratings and reviews

Hmmm. Looking for FlightRadar alternative. Lacks quite a few important bits. Seem to have to login relentlessly when I haven't logged out. Ridiculous. Losing another star for its inability to stay logged in AND requiring email code, copy & paste. Far too cumbersome. Paid my "remove ad" option but nothing to tell you the huge fee jump to save more items. No option for "Map screen first" like FR. Very annoying. Arrivals/departures are good but cluttered in comparison to FR. Had higher hopes.

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.
