Flying app review: track loved ones' flights

Introduction

If you have a loved one who is going to be flying we've got an app that makes it possible to track his or her flight with ease. The Flying app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and offers completely free tracking of flights. It doesn't matter what airline you need to track, you can find it here. It's more than just flight tracking though; you can also use the app to get refunds if you live in the European Union. 

A Companion Tool

The Flying app works as a traveler's companion tool. You can use it to track the flights of loved ones, stay-up todate on all the latest news and insight into flying, and even get refunds if you live in the European Union. It's one of those apps that is very simple to use and provides a very real and tangible service for customers. If it's you who is flying you can also get flight status updates using the app so you know if you're leaving on time or if you're facing a cancelation or delay.

The app is free to use but it does feature a number of in-app purchases; I find it a bit deceiving for this reason. The in-app purchases feel pretty pricey just to track flights. They range in price from $0.99 to $24.99 depending on the package you want. This doesn't seem to be slowing it down in the customer ratings, however, as it still scores four out of five stars from users. Users have commented that even if you fly once in a while it's worth having and that it is very easy to use.
 

Track Your Own or Others' Flights

If you're ready to start your flight tracking experience then you are ready to launch the app. Each time you fly somewhere you will earn a stamp, which are pretty fun to accumulate. You can follow loved ones' flights, share information about the stamps you've earned on social media, and even compete to see who has flown the most. The problem with this travel app is that there are a lot of developers offering this same type of flight tracking service, and many of them offer it for free. So how can Flying compete?

The Flying app has one very strong feature going for it and that's the fact that it is so easy to use. The user interface is clean, quick, and effective at allowing you to track flights.

Final Thoughts
