Flighty

There are flight trackers, and then there's Flighty, an iOS app for people who need to know their plane's location and arrival time. The free version of the program provides basic flight-monitoring capabilities; but, if you pay for a subscription ($8.99 per month or $49.99 per year), you have access to more advanced features such as push alerts, synchronization with TripIt or calendars, and a flight-connection assistant.

Flighty also claims to know how to anticipate flight delays by watching arriving flights for 25 hours and tracking FAA-mandated delays. During a 14-day trial, you may try out elements of the premium software for free. The map is attractive, but its dominance means you’ll need to scroll up to see anything but the most basic information about a flight. That’s mitigated by the fact that with one quick swipe, the column of data scrolls to the half-way point on an iPhone with a little haptic feedback, revealing more information. With a second swipe, the card UI extends nearly to the top of the iPhone’s screen, showing even more information. Beyond the first two swipes, the card UI scrolls in a long list of data divided into sections of related information.
