Flight Tracker ‪+‬ 4+

Great for showing delays

I was very impressed with this app on a recent flight that was delayed. The airport screens continued to show the original take off time in spite of us knowing there was an hour delay (or more).
The airport website also didn’t show any information. However this app was showing they expected take off time and it changed a couple of times during the evening so it looks like it’s continually tracking the time.

It even comes up as a notification on the lock screen. It alerts you to both take off and landing times so that’s also useful if you’re meeting someone at an airport.

I’m very impressed and will use this app for all future flights.

Back to the future

Using it to track an arrival tonight. The flight is delayed by 30 mins. The live update has told me it’s landed before it’s taken off. I’ve just received a notification telling me it’s landed at 21:03, 33 minutes late. Great. Except it’s 20:08 at the moment. Absolutely totally inaccurate. Yet viewing the flight in the app it shows mostly correct details. Except the status is Landed when it hasn’t departed. Ho hum.

Thanks for the response - but this isn’t just a problem with the live departure tracking. I was getting notifications the flight had landed at a time in the future when it was still in mid-air. Repeatedly. In the past these notifications had operated correctly. Not any more.

Hello JemNoHow! Thank you so much for contacting us with your feedback. Unfortunately, the real-time update functionality only works for departures as we have yet to introduce the part to continue updating the lock screen after the departure. This is something we are working on improving and hope to have available in the next app updates. If you have any further feedback, please feel free to let us know through the Frequently Asked Questions section or directly at support@impalastudios.com.

Mr

Purchased this app a few days ago & initially it worked okay. Tried yesterday to track a relatives flight from Italy to U.K but after saying the plane had departed there was no flight movement showing. What was posted up was "This information is out of date. This generally means that that the information has not yet been updated by by our data provider. This could take up to 15 minutes." This did not happen & a couple of hours later it informed me the flight had landed even though it was still showing at the departure airport. Think maybe this could turn out to be a bad buy.

Het spijt ons te horen dat onze app uw vlucht niet heeft kunnen vinden. Onze app volgt elke dag meer dan 1,5 miljoen vluchten, dus het gebeurt soms dat een vlucht niet correct wordt weergegeven. Dit heeft ook te maken met het feit dat we moeten vertrouwen op de informatie die onze dataleverancier ons stuurt, en de vluchtinformatie die de luchtvaartmaatschappijen en luchthavens hen sturen. We proberen altijd manieren te vinden om dit te verbeteren en werken er hard aan om zoveel mogelijk vluchten correct af te handelen.
