I have been using Flighty for several years now. Flighty is my go to app for gate numbers. For European flights, Flighty is not as up to date as I would like. Version 4 was a huge improvement, but I still need Flightradar24 to complement Flighty.
I love the ability to have friends flights easily available. I also love my flight history, including Flighty telling me when I have been on a plane before.
The brand new heatmaps are fun, but not reliable just yet. Some flights where I had only one trip (to go and to return) are in the category 2-9, while I have been there only once. If go and return counts as two, then all my flights should be thicker lines, as I don’t have any routes where I have only gone one way.
My wishes for improving:
1. Show the planned boarding time. Flighty doesn’t want to show this because it is mostly not accurate. It is an essential piece of information that is missing. I would rather have the potentially inaccurate time than having to go to my airline app. On top of this, various other times that Flighty does show are at least as inaccurate.
2. Up to date information for European flights. Version 4 was a big improvement, but we are not there yet. Too often (about 10% of my flights ), Flighty doesn’t know what plane I will be on until after I am already in the air. Again, I rely on Flightradar24 for this information. Flighty support blames the European airlines for being behind in technology. This is not a good excuse as Flightradar24 does have the information.
