You created this account 14 minutes prior to this post. Forgive me if I don't trust your testimonials. Feels very astroturf
Flighty was recommended to me by a flight attendant and I also have been notified hours ahead of the airlines by it.
You logged in after a 5 year hiatus to advertise for an app?

Flighty is poorly designed. It’s one of those slick apps designed to superficially look nice without actually being well-thought-out. That’s not what design is or should mean; that’s just aesthetics. Case in point: one of the most important pieces of data for a flight, its duration, is displayed in the tiniest type size on the flight info display pane, in light grey text on a slightly darker grey background. It’s bor…
> one of the most important pieces of data for a flight, its duration, What is your use case for Flighty, and why would this information be important at all?
I regularly fly all over the world, and it's nice to know how long my flights are going to be? I'm not always flying direct, and seeing the lengths of the legs and the lengths of the layovers allows me to plan my day and my sleep schedule.

#184If you fly a lot, you might also be aware of the National Airspace System Status: https://nasstatus.faa.gov/ It also has links to a lot of other information useful for people in the airline industry. I find the Airport Arrival Demand Chart to be good for seeing a big picture of all the flights: https://www.fly.faa.gov/aadc/
The equivalent for Europe is probably https://www.public.nm.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec... (at least what I use when there is major disruption).

My guess is that's because boarding a plane is a little bit like being an extra for a film, it's a hurry up and wait situation. If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time. Better for the airline to print an earlier time and have people wait longer, so they can board as quickly as possible. Every minute behind schedule costs the airline mone…
AA displays the boarding time in the app instead of the departure time once the flight gets close enough (like same day) >If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time I don't understand the logic. If everyone is there at the stated boarding time and the airline has correctly allocated enough time for boarding, aren't they winning?
200 people can't board at the same second. Reality is you want orderly boarding over the course of ~ 10-15mins depending on passenger makeup. Crew also need to account for passenger with additional needs, catering recharge, etc

I've seen many developers who released the same app on both iOS and Android and realized that Apple platforms still provide them with 80% of revenue for 20% of users. Not that many people on Android are willing to pay $60 for an app.
Developing for Android is also a much worse developer experience than developing for iOS, because there are thousands of devices to support, and much greater stratification of operating system customizations and older versions. https://dontkillmyapp.com/ is just one example of the kind of problems app developers face on Android
IOS it's work at killing apps that android. Some software manufacturers in android allow you to bypass it in the settings.
