1) love the app UX 2) hate being tracked for marketing / other reasons I opened the app for first time since Apple updated their new privacy rules. App asked if they could track. I asked app not to track. Next was presented with a page stating they use advertisements to keep app free and to accept or ‘not now’. Click not now **what happened following left a bad taste** Proceeded to take me to a further page we’re I need to accept the tracking ( all selected ‘share’ by default). I have ability to deselect all, but it’s cumbersome and confusing. Additionally when you into enough screens you have only ‘Accept’ to get out. Otherwise you have to hard kill the app to not be forced to accept. The number of companies that the show as partners appears to be over 400, I lost count halfway through and many of these partners are all over the globe. It was difficult where these partners came from. Was not able to see if it was OneTrust or if it was Cirium/LexisNexis I wanted to see if I could change settings. As a test I selected 1 partner to permit tracking with and entered the app. I was able to make changes to cookies, however the list of partners was randomized and seeing one or two while scrolling was difficult without knowing what the name of the ad partner was. 3. Will delete FlightStats and find a different app

So disappointed. I thought this was a decent app - until my flight was delayed and the app didn't update. Even hours later, it still showed it was on time. A month later on another trip, it didn't show my flight being delayed at the start of my trip. At the end of the trip, I had delayed AND cancelled flights. NONE of them were marked as such. This app is very unreliable! All it is good for is finding flights. Don't expect it to update and give you correct up to date information though! I could see being a little late updating, taking into consideration the time it takes for the info to get around, but hours later?!? Worthless.

If the airline wishes to keep its stats high for a specific flight and not get dinged by the airport or sued by companies for wasting peoples time (frontier is a great example of such despicable practice as they don’t update all of their flights delays) all they have to do is not change their departure time and this app will never know of ANY delays! Hence the question, why would anyone pay for data they can easily get online from google? The delays reported are not real data, nor is it accurate or relevant? I am at the gate of a flight that is delayed by 2.5 hours and this app says I departed from this gate on time :( Not worth the time.
