1. Design – polarized opinions on aesthetics vs. usability
- “Love Flightly, one of the best apps ever. Beautiful design + incredibly useful info.” – hmartin
- “It’s one of those slick apps designed to superficially look nice without actually being well‑thought‑out.” – sneak
- “If a flight is delayed even 1 minute, it’s highlighted as red text. This throws me off every time.” – annexrichmond 2. Practical usefulness – real‑time delay, boarding, and inbound‑aircraft information
- “Flighty is all about getting you to the airport in time for your flight, so the most important pieces of information are things like departure times, connection times, delay information, terminal and boarding gate.” – exidy
- “Flighty gets heavy use from US airline employees… we can see from the lock screen the inbound aircraft ETA… it’s really nice to know as you walk off the aircraft that ‘Hey, it’s actually delayed.’” – bronco21016
- “Last year Flighty literally saved me from an overnight delay because it notified me the incoming aircraft was still on the ground at the previous airport.” – stranger_quark
3. Data reliability & accuracy – occasional incorrect or delayed updates
- “One of my flights suddenly ‘departed’ one hour+ before scheduled time… airport dashboard was showing proper time and flight departed with 30 min delay (displayed by Flighty as 1.5 hr delay).” – jesterson
- “I've seen other data issues. It usually depends on the airline, the same types of problems occur with the same airlines.” – ezfe
