Anyone here have a flight-tracking (departure, arrival, delays, gate, etc.) app for their iPhone that they really love (and that works reliably)?
I'm looking for one. I see quite a few at the App Store, but the reviews are all over the place on some (how one product can get a one-star review and a five-star review always amuses me).
I don't need every bell-and-whistle imaginable, but just something similar to the OS X Dashboard Flight Tracker widget...that same basic functionality (airline lookout, flight numbers, arrival and departure times and cities and any delays). I think those are the main things Flight Tracker does...
In fact, I was hoping that the same outfit that provides the OS X widget (FlyteComm?) had their own iPhone take on the thing, but I'm not seeing it.
I'm currently eyeing this one:
Silver Software's Flight Update (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=295446978&mt=8)
I don't fly enough to be spending $9-12 on a damn iPhone app, but, sadly, the sub-$5 apps available seem to have really poor reviews. So I'm looking at one of those decently-reviewed ~$5 ones.
But I'd love to hear your thoughts on them, or if you have one that really does the job. Or, even better, if you have the one I linked above. Your thoughts on it?
