Flighty is very pretty, but I’m not giving up FlightAware anytime soon.

I travel a lot, and frequently encounter flight delays. It’s mind boggling difficult to find out where my plane is when it’s delayed via Flighty. This and a few other things, FlightAware gets right.

I feel like Flighty is for rare leisure traveler and FlightAware is for weekly business and/or pilot traveler.

I’ve honestly had better luck with iOS built in flight tracker than Flighty itself.

I don’t get why they get so much praise for design with such a big design flaw:

If a flight is delayed even 1 minute, it’s highlighted as red text. This throws me off every time.

Google does not this. It still shows as green if it’s just a few minutes delayed.

I’ve reported this to the Flighty team and they ignored me so I can only assume they think this is a good idea, and I will therefore never pay for their app.

Fascinating, I was struck by the exact opposite. The text overflowed the search bar, the bottom table was difficult to read, the airports all just kind of pulsed brown every couple seconds, I assumed this was a slopped together weekend project someone was advertising here.

The bubble fonts are a little too cheery for something as stressful as flight delays.

I wish the data would be more reliable (or they have better sanity checks) though. One of my flights suddenly "departed" one hour+ before scheduled time. I almost got heart attack.

Needless to say there were no objective reasons for that - airport dashboard was showing proper time and flight departed with 30min delay (displayed by Flighty as 1.5hr delay).

Why can't you just like an app, why do you have to turn it into a personal statement about your dislike of AI? If AI was not involved, why bring it up?
