App threw away all my stored tail numbers!

Must have app for people that fly or family that want to know when their loved ones are landing. I traveled for a living and this app was one of my essentials. I love the “where’s my plane” feature to give clues as to how long that flight delay is really going to be. Also, helps you track others that are flying to see where they are and how much longer it’ll be until they land or how long they’re delayed.
