Flight Tracker:
8/2010 Forum
I have both. I like Flight Track better, as the layout is better, the map feature is better, the international flight features are better, and the info. seems to be more accurate. However, the app does need to be updated so that the flights go into your calendar and some other features.
Flight View hasn't been all that accurate on some of my flights. Do not rely on it for gate info., as if I had, I'd have missed my connecting flight. (I looked at the monitors in the airport for the gate info.) Don't rely on it for the times of planes taking off and landing, either, as I've had those also be wrong (which is fine if you're the one flying, but not if you're the one picking up the person who is flying, especially with a delayed flight!). The only thing Flight View has on Flight Track is that it adds the flights to the calendar.
