Flighty app

shocked by low interface design quality

Funnily enough that's actually the reason the Flighty team gives for not having an Android app - so they don't water down the experience by trying to support two different ecosystems. And, to their credit, their interface is really second to none.

I was keen to give Flighty a try following sad news that App in the Air is closing down.
Waisted some time on it only to find out Flighty app is only available on ios and not on Android(?!)
wow! that sends it straight to rubbish bin unfortunately.
Any recommendations for alternatives similar to Flighty and App in the Air please?

I tried also Check my Trip and Tripit and was shocked by low interface design quality and poor recognition of new flights from emails.

iOS user here, so not overly familiar with the offerings on Android. That being said, from what I can see it would seem that TripIt Pro would be one of the "better" alternatives right now. Granted it's nowhere near Flighty in terms of the UX, but I think it somewhat comes down to what you're trying to get out of the app? If it's notifications and alerts etc, then it's reasonably close in functionality to Flighty. I use both apps on iOS and find that the notifications are often in reasonable lockstep with one another.

FWIW, I saw a comprehensive explanation from one of the Flighty team detailing why they aren't looking at Android at this time.

Great idea. Throw the Android phone away and buy an iPhone.

Pretty is as pretty does.

Functionality is where it's at and Trip it works fine for me.

I also use Flightaware, Flight stats and Flight radar24 on day of travel.

That will never happen.

Thank you for suggestion, I'll research Flight stats as well, already got the rest

Have a look at byAir as well. It's relatively new so it hasn't got every feature yet but development is pretty active and it's definitely got the interface going for it.
