WindowSeat is the perfect companion in any air traveler’s itinerary, whether you’re a frequent flyer, heading on vacation, or traveling with children. En route, you can see pictures and read abstracts as you fly over landmarks, geographic locations and other points-of-interest in WindowSeat’s database.
No matter where you’re sitting, WindowSeat provides a great view.
WindowSeat’s key features include:
- WindowSeat is a universal app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
- High resolution map accessible offline, during the flight.
- Track any commercial flight throughout the contiguous U.S.
- WindowSeat calculates your position and anticipated arrival time based on the assigned route and airtime of your flight.
- Update your position based on your flight’s true performance, and WindowSeat recalculates your flight time.
- View images and read descriptions about the points-of-interest you pass on your flight.
- When an observed point-of-interest isn’t in line with WindowSeat’s flight tracker, simply drag your flight to match, and the application will recalculate your time.
- Committed to making future versions even better! Send suggestions and feedback that will help improve WindowSeat.

Crashes on startup, won't load

On both my iPad and my IPhone running iOS 6. That didn't use to be the case. Avoid this one until they fix whatever bug they introduced at the last update!
Flight Attendant

This a great app to have as a flight attendant. It tells me where we are when a passenger asks, and they always do. Thank you
Works great!

Unlike others below, works great on ios6. Simple to use. Tracking works great and is amazingly accurate. Highly recommend this app. Suggestions: Wish it saved favorite airports, rather than one recent. By definition if I fly somewhere I'm not going to be at the last airport I departed from. Also wish it would use location to determine current airport rather than needing to type it in. Lastly wish the maps were higher res, but realize it would make them huge.
In case you ever wondered what those lights were down there...

Nice app, based on filed flight plan - any amendments or shortcuts given by ATC can and do alter the accuracy. Map is detailed enough for general direction, really enjoy using it twice a week!
Essential for every air traveler
Re:laps
I would have paid hundreds of dollars to have this in the last century!
Fix the bugs!

My flight showed up, then it didn't. Not very many points of interest. Has potential, ill be waiting for an update.
Toilet Seat

Two tries, zero results. KC to. Ft. Lauderdale then to JAX. Could not find the flight in the 1st instance, found the flight but couldn't use it in the 2nd. Very frustrating. I get better results on a toilet seat
Amazing App

Used this app today between Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth and found it to be amazingly accurate! Easy to use, it was three minutes from VR to be able to use my iPhone and it provided me with the FAA filed flight plan!
