Review summary

User reviews are mixed: many praise the app for being free, simple, and accurate in tracking flights, especially without inflight Internet. However, a large number report critical reliability issues—offline maps/routes cannot be saved, downloads fail or timeout, and internet error messages misrepresent connectivity. Multiple reviews cite lack of updates and unresponsive support, plus device compatibility problems. Overall sentiment shows enthusiastic users clashing with stability and maintenance concerns.

Pros

Free, simple, ad-free app that works.
Accurate flight tracking from takeoff to touchdown.
Great for flights without inflight Internet or mapping.
Informative and worth the effort with some practice.
Getting better with updates.

Cons

Offline saving of routes and maps fails repeatedly (cannot save tracks).
Map downloads often fail or time out across different networks.
Appears poorly maintained with little or no support (outdated updates).
Installation/compatibility problems on certain devices or after updates.

2026-06-28	E *****	There's a weird glitch when you download the offline maps. I was only able to download a few of the Data Sources but for my use, being able to just download the map is more then perfect
