Features & Use
Section rating:
Device tested:
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2
After launching the app on your device, a small information window appears for a few seconds. Once it's gone, you are presented with the app's main display, which is divided into four tabs.
Flight:
The first tab presents information about a specific flight by imputing the airline, flight number and departure time, which then brings you to the detailed view. All important information is then made available like the departure and arrival airports, the airline, the plane ( including technical data), other flight codes and the actual status of the flight (whether it's on schedule, its arrival etc.) It's also possible to see the airport's time zone, weather, location on Google Maps and terminal map (only if you've additionally downloaded the internal menu. This is only available for bigger airports).
What's more, the app also displays the statistics, which reflects the flight's performance, as well as an overview of how often the plane arrived on time, was late or got cancelled. Last but not least, you'll also be able to share special flights and its status via Twitter, Facebook, Mail or SMS. Unfortunately, information cannot be shared via the Android internal share function.
Airports:
Here you can view detailed information about over 16000 airports, as well as see their schedule of departures. You'll be able to filter your search by imputing time, status, airline and other additional information, as well as details regarding specific flights.
Routes:
Like the airport tab, you are able to search for routes, but this time by imputing departure location, destination and desired travel date. By means of this tab, you'll be presented with a detailed graph with all connections between the start and end locations.
Favourites
Obviously, here you'll be able to view and save your favourite flights and airports, allowing you to quickly return to them at any point in time. You won't have to re-search for them in the normal search engines, saving you a lot of time.
Settings
The settings allow you to customize your Flight Hero by changing your language, various configurations ranging between light and dark themes and activate the notifications.
You'll also be able to switch between the metric or American system and to synchronize your travel plans to TripIT, an online platform. You'll also be able to display your favourite flights in your calender.
Bottom Line
All in all, its easy to say that "Airline Flight Status ✈ Pro'' is an app with endless possibilities offering information about more than 16000 airports and 1500 airlines, with many other practical functions. Whether you need information about airlines, flights, airplanes or airports, this app has it all and can come in handy when times get tough.
Those who find themselves often travelling should definitely take a look at this app. The app of the week's price definitely makes it worth your time.
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
Though the design of ''Airline Flight Status ✈ Pro'' isn't bad and is set up for practical use, it could be a bit more innovative and interesting looking. A standard Android design would've been a good solution to this problem.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
In regards to the stability of ''Airline Flight Status ✈ Pro'', there's not much to complain about. The only thing that I noticed was the slight delay when loading the departure list. Otherwise, everything ran quick smoothly.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
Normally "Airline Flight Status ✈ Pro'' costs 4.51 Euros, but the App of the Week (4.3.2013-10.03.2013) is now being offered to you for 2.29 Euros, only here at your AndroidPIT App Center. If there was ever an app, for which you would get an extra bang for your buck, this would be the one, thanks to its many functions and bounty of useful information.

Total CRAP when using with Tripit I use Tripit and FlightTrack regularly. I was concerned that TripIt and FlightTrack were not updating flight statuses on time so I wanted another App that might be more timely and I wanted it to get my Itinerary from TripIt. This program SAID it could do that but AFTER I paid for it, they made me pay MORE for the TripIt plug-in. After some trouble configuring the plug-in at first, the whole app now runs slow as crap (takes like 20 seconds to load on my brand New S4). Whenever I click around in the App is takes several seconds to respond. When I try to exit the App, it warns me that GPS is turned on and wants me to turn it off. Why? How stupid is that?

Worthless Stalled, spit and sputtered. Then had weak features. Timed out on the refund policy so I have $4 worth of junk.

Get this thing working ASAP Is it possible to give no stars, 1 star would indicate that the app is actually working as advertised. Professionals use flight tracking software for their jobs, let's get this thing together please!

Completely wrong info Very bad app while I was checking the plane it says that it is on route since 1 hour and half. Meanwhile I was getting sms that the plane wS on the ground. You can check by yourself flight numbrr RJ552 from Tunis to Amman. Very disappointing

Not real-time I just purchased this to track my daughter's trip to California. The first leg of her trip is from Lafayette, Louisiana to Dallas, Texas. My wife is at the airport waiting for her plane to get in the air... meantime (at home), I'm watching her flight (American 2771) go 28 miles already. This is computerized guess work. Nothing more.

Fail. Latest version would not install on my Nexus 7. Error msg: could not install on USB or SD storage.

Slow and incomplete The flight info display is not right. eg. TG949 on 04/18/13 leave 4 min early and estimate 22 min delay; the app display - leave 22 min delay and no estimate time of arrival display.

Superb App! I used this app recently for my holiday to Iceland. Rather than direct flights from Manchester to Reykjavik, and Reykjavik back to Manchester, we flew via Copenhagen on the outbound flight and via Stockholm on the return. This app was 100% accurate. It reflected the information on all of the departure/arrival boards precisely. Highly recommended for regular air travellers.

Pretty good This app is really quite good, it combines some features of a couple other apps into one, making it a very capable one stop shop for keeping up with your itinerary. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is charging an additional fee to integrate TripIt with the app. I wish it was a standard item. Also (and I'm not going to ding the app for this) I wish the terminal maps were of a slightly better quality, but they are functional enough so I didn't think it should lose a star for that.
