Comments on FlightAware Flight Tracker for Android

★★★★★ Bruce Billington · Mar 19, 2026
This app is easy to use. I use live ATC along with this app, so I can listen to the aircraft communications during their flight. I also have a Kenwood tri-band TH-6A that is also a wideband handheld receiver. I can receive aircraft in the Long Beach, California area. I love the FlightAware Flight Tracker app because it provides airport weather info at the departure airport, as well as the destination airport. It even tells you what "gates" the aircraft will be using.
★★★★★ Kevin Crean · Jul 5, 2026
Besides, displaying flight exceptions before they're displayed at the airport, it also has excellent "nearby me" storm radar.
★★★★★ BEAST · Apr 30, 2026
This app really works! I recently saw a flight in the sky and decided to search for it using this app. To my surprise, it showed accurate details about the flight in real time. It felt amazing to confirm what I was seeing so quickly and easily. The tracking is reliable and the information is clear. Definitely a useful app for anyone curious about flights overhead. Highly recommended
★☆☆☆☆ Dave Miller · Apr 30, 2026
I am a contributing member of this community. This has been my go-to app when I fly to keep track of my flights, but it has now become more of a hassle to use than it is worth. Every time I exit the app I have to completely log back in to be able to use it. Logging back in includes getting a code from my email, then getting a code from my authenticator app (and from the authenticator app you can't copy and paste, it has to be manually input).
★★☆☆☆ Andrew Krug · May 11, 2026
It should not be this hard to use a flight tracking app. I set it to track a flight leaving tomorrow, and it's tracking the same flight that already left today. The web portal has an incredibly stupid design and horrible to use on a mobile phone's screen.
★☆☆☆☆ Willard Pearson · Mar 17, 2026
What is wrong with this FlightAware app these days? Why do I have to open and close the app 2 times before the app actually works?
