## Review summary

User reviews frequently praise FlightView for fast updates and alerts when functioning, and note it was a long-standing, trusted tool. However, the majority report serious downsides: intrusive ads even for paying users, unreliable/missing notifications, wipe of flight history after updates or login, degraded UX with more clicks, and inconsistent data quality (missing gate info, altitude readings, and incorrect statuses). Overall sentiment is that FlightView used to be reliable but recent changes have eroded usability and value.

### Pros

- Fastest to display flight changes and consistently send alerts when working.
- Longstanding flight-tracking app used by many for years.
- Some improvements to aircraft data/status following updates.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads that are hard to close, degrading the user experience.
- Notifications are unreliable or not timely.
- Wipe of flight history and trips after login/update, causing data loss.
- UI/UX degradation: more clicks, cluttered interface, slower performance.
- Data quality issues: missing gate numbers, altitude readings, and sometimes incorrect flight statuses or search results.
