FlightStats 2.0.5
One free app that can help you with that is FlightStats. It provides users with real-time flight status and airport tracking tools that can surely prove in handy.
Sleek but complex interface filled with all sort of information
The app launches directly with the home screen featuring all the neat sections that you can find inside. It doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions to get you started, but the interface is quite intuitive although it's filled with all sort of tools and features.
The whole design of the UI is quite professionally looking, while also providing users with large icons so that they wouldn't waste time figuring out how the app works. It even comes with a settings section, you can change the hour format, have the app use metric units or set a home airport. Enable your location services so that the app could pull up information easier.
Track flights in an easy way
There are multiple ways in which you can track a flight, simply enter the name of the airline or code, together with the flight number and date. FlightStats remembers lookup searches and saves them in your list of flights.
You can also search for flights by airport and route also, in case you don't know the number of the flight. Have the app display departures and arrivals on a certain airport to make it easier to find information.
Get airport statistics
The app also displays the distance that the plane still has to go until it reaches its destination, together with the gate and terminal from which it departed, the estimated time of arrival. It also shows you at which gate it will arrive and displays a timeline of all events linked to this flight, including delays and the time when gates were closed.
You can also track your flight in real time on a map, the app comes with a satellite view also and labels. The airport overview section gives you information on the average delay time, the date and time and weather conditions for airports from all over the world.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is quite nice, with a dark background and professional feel but the settings section seems a bit ill-placed |
Function9
It works just fine, it lets you check flights in real time, displays progress on a satellite view map and provides you with airport statistics. |
Security9
It only needs a few permissions from your phone so you shouldn't worry about privacy issues with this app. |
Battery5
Consumption is high, the app has the potential of draining your battery since it constantly uses location services and your internet connection. |
Price9
It's free but comes with some banner ads and no option of removing them. |
Compatibility9
It should work on devices running Android version 2.2 or later, making the app accessible to many users. |
It's great for tracking flights and getting airport information without worrying about in-app purchases.
