Subscription Change not thought out well
Alexander318

Clearly one of the best programs available for the purpose of flight tracking. . Five star rating for the application and zero stars for changing to a poor subscription model with no warning. When I upgraded to pro I paid a flat fee that was supposed to cover as many flights as I took. Was just on a business trip which had four legs and discovered that my limit of five flights a month was maxed. As a businessman I take 5- 10 trips a month each with an average of two legs therefore I have approximately 20-30 flights a month And that would cost me $60 a year. Some months I will have no flights but would still have to pay the monthly fee because rather than making this a flat annual fee they have chosen to make it a monthly fee not based on how many flights you fly that month but on your subscriber level. Poorly done for me. Fix that and I will reconsider if the annual fee makes sense. Quite a jump from what I was paying. If there was a reasonable charge of a couple dollars a month that covered my flights I would be a satisfied user but since that is not available I have to find a different program.


Used to be awesome

I paid for the Pro app long time back and things were fine until recently when I noticed they changed to a monthly subscription and now I’m missing features that I had previously in my “pro” version. I get that business models change but to charge a customer money for a pro app and then switch business models in the middle of it and take features away is bad customer service. I will be moving on to different apps.


Charging PER flight lookup now?!?!?!
Jaykoh

I’m beyond pi$$ed. I work in the airline industry. Live in one location, commute to where I’m based...the majority of us do. Usually twice a week. You gotta be out of your mind if you think we’re gonna pay for PER FLIGHT LOOK UP. This new ‘subscription’ has rendered your app 100% worthless to ALL of us in the industry who used it. Previously...a 5 star rating. Now?...no way. Like another person said, we’ll look up HUNDREDS of flights a month. Hell, sometimes in ONE DAY! That happens when there is a weather event taking place with a LOT of cancellations/delays...and we’re plotting our way home or to work. I’m very annoyed...and sad to see this change here.


Was great. Now it’s a rip off

I’m an airline pilot. Loved this app. Now they want monthly subscriptions that are outrageous for the number of requests you receive. I’d recommend a different app. They’ve ruined it.


Slap in the face for longtime users
Soon to be ex-gear junkie

As a commuting Airline Pilot I’ve been using this app for years, with unlimited flight tracking under the original agreement when we all purchased it at what was then a hefty price. I understand business environments change, and you have every right to charge new customers whatever pricing and subscription plan you please, but it is disappointing that the customers who supported you early on are not grandfathered into our original features. As a commuter, even the highest subscription tier would still not allow me to track all the flights I need to every month, and I feel the pricing is not a good value anyway, so I’ll be bidding adieu I suppose.


Very disappointed!

I purchased Pro version years ago. Was a great app for my occasional travel. But now one trip can max out the 5 flight limit. I’ll be looking for another provider.


Used to love this app
TickedinLittleRoc

Already paid for it once, they upgraded and I paid again. Now, all of a sudden, they want you to subscribe to monthly fees. Not doing it. Will find something else.


Bait and switch
Dr. Poopie magoo

Started off pretty good but starting a requirement to pay a monthly fee after I already paid full price for the app is super shady. — to be clear the monthly fee isn’t technically required but they have now stripped nearly all functionality gradually so that if you are a regular flyer this became useless unless you pay the additional fees.


Great app

I use this app every day and enjoy it


Betrayed all those that bought in earlier
DougSF

Always loved this program and after trying the free version, bought the full version only to support the author. I'm not a heavy user, a few flights a month, but now even that barks at me and want me to spend a stupid amount on lookups. I feel betrayed by the developer. He could have sunset this version while letting all the people that have already paid him continue using the product while developing a new version and different version with some new features and a subscription model. If older paid users want the new features they could migrate and pay. Other apps have found a way to continue offering flight tracking through one time fees or ads. Bummed because I've loved this program and evangelize it to everyone I know, who also purchased the app. Now we all feel betrayed.
