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.

★★★★★ Nope · Oct 10, 2025

Definitely tracks planes, gives you info about yhe type, speed, altitude, percentage of crash or chances of death JUST KIDDING it just tracks flight and give info about yhe flights and draws you a picture, so you know when you flying over stolen land, only racist if your white. Im proud to be white, and you should be proud of your culture and if you think you better that just means your summer. Love the thanks guy to everyone that worked all and only the men and women

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Oct 28, 2025

Why does your app keep signing me out every day? Why can't we stay signed in? And why do you make it SOOO hard to sign in (login, then emailed code, THEN authenticator code) It's a flight tracker, not a crypto wallet... Come on. What are you protecting? Why don't you implement biometrics like my bank app, do I can log in without needing to go to 2 other apps, just to log in to add an alert for a flight?

★★☆☆☆ 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.
