5/5Can’t even test the app
The UI looks nice in the screenshots, but I’ll never know how it actually performs because there is no free tier or trial that doesn’t require a credit card upfront. Listing an app as “Free” on the App Store when it has zero functionality without a paid Pro subscription is misleading. I’d give it more stars if I could actually try the features first.

1/5Every loads incredibly slow, if at all(14pro)
I’m super disappointed I went with this over flightradar, especially considering the significantly higher cost. I’ll regularly open the app to identify a plane, wait 30 seconds while nothing loads, open flightradar, watch an ad and then identify the flight on flightradar before switching back to flight deck before anything loads, if it even loads at all. Finally fed up enough to right this because I’m sitting here and there’s not a single flight over the entire US showing on the map. Map is set to default settings. I never hear any of the radio messages either, can’t hear ATC audio. I don’t know. Maybe I’m dumb and need a tutorial, but either way, I’m not enjoying the app.

2/5It has potential, but still flawed.
You get a sense this app relies more heavily on AI, and not in a good way. It doesn’t appear you can list all of your upcoming flights, and are limited to tracking one specific flight at a time on the homepage. When airports have ground delays or ground stops, the text box containing the full message is truncated and you cannot click to expand it. The weather at airports and other data is off - for instance it said current conditions at DAL are 78° with snow. The real-time security wait times is helpful. The ACARS alerts are nice but need more personalization capabilities — they are quite random worldwide.

1/5ONLY PAID OPTIONS
I was so excited at the idea to see the transcript instead of listening to the liveatc option (which is free online and fun to do on flights). Alas they will not provide a single second of a free trial without giving a credit card when they only have 200 reviews. You cannot make money immediately without having a trial phase to see if it’s worth paying for. I have no problem paying the full price and more if it does what it says it does in the ad. I subscribe to all the other flight tracking apps. But you cannot expect to make money during the roll out. Why should I trust you? I wish you the best and I hope it works.

1/5After a bit it is IMPOSSIBLE to use
I was really looking forward to getting this app for the ACARS messages. After downloading the app and canceling the free subscription so I didn’t have to pay, everything was well. I was pleased with what I could look at and see on this app but after a bit it was forcing me to buy the “pro” version. No matter what I did I couldn’t get off the screen, nor cancel the subscription in time to use the free version. Ether this is a bug or most likely it’s a scummy way of making money. I don’t even think that anyone should be paying that much for the pro version! One out of five stars, I really had high hopes.
