What commenters say

  • The design of the Flighty app is well-done and provides useful information to travelers.
  • The app's design is poorly thought out and prioritizes aesthetics over functionality.
  • The app's failure to display boarding times is a significant omission, as this information is crucial for travelers to plan their schedules.
  • Displaying flight duration is not a priority for the app, as this information is already known to travelers when they book their flights.
  • The app's data can be unreliable, with some users experiencing incorrect or delayed information about their flights.
  • The app's map feature has a bug that causes airports to appear or disappear at different zoom levels, which can be confusing for users.
  • The app's usefulness is hindered by the lack of reliable data from airlines, which can lead to incorrect or incomplete information being displayed.
