Flight Update Pro app review: provides timely flight status information plus loads more-2020

Introduction

Whether you travel for business or pleasure, this is an absolute must-have iPad and iPhone flight tracker app for all you frequent flyers out there, providing extensive coverage for more than 1,400 airlines from all over the world, covering both U.S. and international flight paths.

The best iPhone and iPad apps for tracking flights

This really is the gold standard of flight tracking apps, and although it’s probably the most expensive one I’ve reviewed it is the best one by a very large margin. If you’re frequently in the air then you’re definitely going to want this one on your iPad.

This app for tracking flights runs on devices with iOS 11.0 or later with support of up to iOS 13.0 and it is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It will need 7.9MB of free memory space on your mobile device to download and install.
