## Description

FAAwait provides real-time access to current air traffic delays at all U.S. airports.  It utilizes a data feed maintained by the FAA that tracks departure and arrival delays, ground stops, and ground delays.  To access this information, an active internet connection (WiFi or cellular) is required.

FAAwait does NOT provide status information for specific flights.  But by monitoring airport traffic conditions, you can often anticipate delays that may impact your travel, sometimes before the airlines themselves officially update their schedules.

## Review summary

Reviews praise FAAwait for real-time, authoritative delay information and its usefulness to pilots and travelers. However, users commonly report stability problems after updates, including crashes and inability to open, along with persistent map display issues on iPadOS 17. Connection errors and FAA server communication failures also recur, reducing reliability. A subset notes the absence of an iPad version and occasional inaccuracies during major events. Overall, the app is highly valued for timely airport data, but recent updates have introduced stability and compatibility problems that limit its usefulness for some users.

### Pros

- Real-time, up-to-date delay and ground-stop information for airports.
- Highly valued by aviation professionals (pilots/crew) and frequent travelers for accuracy.
- Clear, concise data presentation with quick loading.
- Affordably priced with strong value for the information provided.
- Considered an essential planning tool for managing delays and flight expectations.

### Cons

- Crashes or refuses to open after updates (stability issues).
- Map display disappears or fails to render on iPadOS 17.
- Frequent connection errors or inability to communicate with FAA servers.
- No iPad version/support; users want an iPad-native version.
- Occasional inaccuracies or incomplete information during events (e.g., outages or storms).
