So much fun on long flights

Is that really the Grand Canyon below? What are those oddly patterned little roads? Is that mountain below a volcano? Get this app and find out! Download & save maps before you go: you can use the app with GPS even airplane mode with WiFi off.
Really useful

This app is even better than I thought it was going to be. The info it gives you is super detailed. Takes a little getting used to. I can't wait to use it on my next flight. But I will use it later today on a hike.
Great position tracking on plane

I was looking for an app that tracks the plane location via GPS on domestic flights, and this app does that very reliably. It gives you location, speed, and altitude. There's also a host of other info but I haven't looked at that yet. Unfortunately there's no option to save the entire US or world map offline, but pre-loading the flight path is as easy as clicking on two points on the map. Overall really good app, tested on four domestic flights, worked flawlessly, though it sometimes takes a minute to get a GPS lock.
Unrefined and counter-intuitive

Awkward to set route. Should be able to enter flight info and have it plot accordingly. Uninstalled.
Doesn't work

Once I hit "Load Path" if just acts like it's loading data but it never does..... Ancient interface.
Great for a version 0.X

I downloaded this app during a trip as recommended by a friend. It does what it promised to, though the path loading does take a while but it eventually finishes. One thing to realize is that app consumers nowadays demand high quality and very well-designed UX and UI, if that can be improved upon then this certainly makes the app 5-star worthy. Great work!
Works as intended

Opened app and did the very intuitive tap one place then another and it put a nice wide path of data between locations. Depends heavily on your internet speeds to load the data in a reasonable amount of time. The one suggestion I agree with is pulling flight path data, since planes fly a "great circle" rather than a straight line on long flights.
At last!

Love this! Every time I get on a plane and have the chance to look down, I wonder about the things I can see. Finally there's an app for this too! Wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with it.
Doesn't work for Australia

Was excited to learn about this app with my upcoming trip to Australia fast approaching. I went in to load my map and Australia can't be selected as a start or end point. If this only works in the us, make the map a us map. Very disappointed.
