Latest reviews of Wolfram Flight Information Reference App app for iPhone and iPad
It doesnt even work one bit! Buggy and unresponsive! One of the worst apps Ive ever downloaded!
Europe doesnt seem to be included in this app - would have been nice to know before I paid for it... To be fair, it appears to deliver data for US cities - so as long as you stay bound to the continental US youll probably be happy with it. I happen to fly further... :-(
Ive never written a bad review, but this one is just too annoying. No matter what I do, the "flights seen in the air" option which was the reason I bought the app, returns nothing but "(data not available)". I have tried many things and many different locations and always get the same result. Then, when I go to the "app support" link from the iTunes store, all I get is a page of them trying to sell me more stuff. Your current app isnt working for me, Why would I want to buy more?? And, the only thing I can find is support for "corporate clients only". I understand that paying $0.99 for an app doesnt mean full- blown tech support, but at least your app should work or I should be able to find more than a blog post designed to sell your non-working app or forums with nothing in them that that even includes information about this pretty generic error message. A waste of money and an even bigger waste of time. No more buying things based on press releases and blog entries. Im sticking to things That only have a series of good reviews.
I also am upset that the app does not work. Perhaps it is because I am in Canada and the app only has data for the us if this is the case it ought to have been stated
Does not work with Japanese Airports
