For the people that fly on a more frequent basis, it is of high importance that a flight tracking application for iOS is able to support multiple itineraries, provide airport and weather forecast data, and allow them to easily add any future flight they may need. The apps are to launch quickly, without any unnecessary lagging and feature an intuitive interface.

Out of all examined apps, the app to best meet the above-stated requirements was FlightView, which comes in 3 editions (all 3 of them come along with the same 10 major features):

  1. FlightView Free, which features in-app adds;
  2. Then you have FlightView ($1), which removes the ads,
  3. And the 3rd edition being FlightView Elite, which provides you with the option of adding airport arrival/departure boards.

Out of all 3 versions the $1 one seems to be the heftiest – you are not going to be bothered by any ads, and the only feature you compromise is the airport arrival/departure boards (which actually has a rather limited level of usefulness). Plus you can always upgrade to the $3 version if you feel the desire to try it out eventually.

Flightview App For Macbook

The app’s main screen is a simple overview of your home airport (flight delay info, weather data, arrivals and departures if you’ve opted for the FlightView Elite version for iPad and iPhone devices), as well as the trips you have planned.

There is an array of buttons set alongside the bottom of your phone’s screen which let you effortlessly tap into the details of your appointed trip, get information about certain airports, track a particular flight, and change the settings of the app. You are able to track a given flight by its route or respective flight number, and you have the option to get a sample flight merely by shaking your Apple device.

FlightView is among the apps that use their own website in the role of a central repository of flight data – all the flights you decide to add to the app will appear on an automatic basis and vice versa. You also have an option to forward your itinerary emails to the said website, and their flights are to be automatically parsed and included to the app’s list (provided that you carried out the booking process via a provider supported by the app). It is quite helpful that the app actually organizes your flights by trips, so it is pretty easy to form an intricate multi-city trip, and you also don’t have to confine yourself to setting a single one, as the app provides you with the option of inputting multiple ones at a time. Individual flights along the lines of one trip can each have a notification enabled or disabled, and you also have the option to add notes to them if you want.

When you track a particular flight, the app provides you with access to detailed data regarding the flight, an in-flight map, and a notes/notifications tracking screen. The info screen features the normal stuff – the aircraft’s model, altitude, speed, departure and arrival info with weather data, and the flight’s arrival gate.

You may even receive the baggage claim number in some instances, as there is a telephone icon that provides you with a connection to the flight’s appointed carrier. If you require more info regarding the departure or arrival airport, you will be able to receive information about potential delays, weather forecast data and driving directions by merely tapping on a single button. (The users that opt in to go with the Elite version of the app will be able to receive arrivals and departures data.)

Mac

The map that the app provides you with is quite functional and features an overlay of the weather (for Canada and the United States at least). You will not be able, however, to zoom in, and it does not include notable landmarks. If your flight happens to be a long one, the entire map will be zoomed out in order to display both the departure and arrival airports, which can lead you to having quite the small map with quite the big aircraft on it. In conclusion, though, the map will provide you with all of the necessary information, given that you have an in-flight Wi-Fi connection.

The one thing that FlightView misses is an airport terminal map database. While this can’t be attributed as an issue for airports that you visit on a regular basis it can be quite troublesome when you are at an airport that you’ve never been to before.

Disregarding the short list of issues the app has with its in-flight map and its lack of airport terminal maps, there are a lot of things you’ll get to like about the flight tracking application FlightView if you are a frequent flyer. And the $1 version is definitely a bargain to die for.

Palm's website and official blog have posted new information on the range of third party apps available for the Pre. There are now over 20 or so apps now available through Palm's on device App Catalog.

Palm has yet to release a public SDK, so the apps currently showing up have been developed by Palm's launch partners. Some additional new applications have been added to the Catalog today and plenty of new ones could possibly be released before grand SDK unveiling.

Palm's blog has posted a nice summary of some new apps announced today and we've expanded on this with some that have crossed our desk this morning:

  • uLocate: the WHERE application for Pre provides local content based on your current location, including weather, news, restaurant reviews, gas stations, movie show times, and the ability to connect with other users.
  • Zumobi: the company's Today Show and Sporting News Baseball apps for Pre offer on-the-go news and sports updates.
  • LikeMe: This application combines your location with your LikeMe profile to offer personalized recommendations on nearby places.
  • FlightView: The FlightView app provides users up-to-the-minute flight information.
  • Mark/Space: The Mac version of 'The Missing Sync for Palm Pre' Beta 1 synchronizes contacts, calendars, music, ringtones, photos and more between a Mac and Pre.
  • Chapura: PocketMirror Standard lets Pre users synchronize data with non-EAS desktop versions of Microsoft Outlook.
  • Citysearch: With Mobile by Citysearch, Pre users can browse, search and share local business information and post real-time reviews.
  • Handmark: Express Stocks helps Palm Pre customers keep up with their stock portfolio and market news.
  • Pandora: The popular internet radio application provides a personalized free mobile music channel to Pre customers.
  • Fandango: Not only can Pre users view movie trailers and order tickets using this app, but Fandango will automatically schedule your upcoming movies on your calendar thanks to Palm Synergy.
  • Beeweeb: beeweeb is offering development services for the Palm webOS platform and the new Palm Pre phone.
  • Agile Commerce: Agile Commerce is working with developers to create applications for the Palm webOS platform and the Palm Pre phone.
  • Shortcovers by Indigo Books & Music: full fledged eReader and ebook store that features well over 50,000 popular book titles.
  • CONNECT 4 by EA Mobile: popular row-making game from Hasbro

when they're not just html and javascript, gimme a call! lol
RE: yay
jca666us, you are becoming as transparent as SV. Do you have a club or something? ;-)

Give it a rest already. It's a brand new device running a brand new OS. It just launched, and they haven't even released the SDK. Apple had this point in their history as well. It happens. It's ok. You just have to wait and see.

Hey Palm! Where's my PDA with Wifi and phone capabilities?

That's a sincere question. It doesn't make sense in the face of fact.

yep! it's good stuff. I need a Pre soon so I can start reviewing these things!

Hang on. Becoming?! ;)

Isn't it obvious? He's actually Ed Colligan posting under a pseudonym. Didn't we all know that...?

RE: yay
Freak, go back to bed.

twrock, I say what I have to - in order to counterbalance the rampant 'Pre is great - what issues' lovefest currently going on.

BTW, what the hell was Palm thinking - the Pre should have definitely had a landscape keyboard. That chicklet keyboard is way too tiny.

Oh sure, go and blow my cover. There had to be at least a few people around here who hadn't figured that out. How is anyone going to believe anything I say now? Now that the cats out of the bag, I'm going to have to start posting under one of my other pseudonyms. Dang. I kinda liked this one.

Yeah, SV, since there is absolutely nothing good about anything Palm does, how in the WORLD could ANYONE defend ANYTHING that they are doing. Inconceivable!

SV, at the moment, Palm is actually doing some things right. I know you can not accept that as true, but it is. No, they aren't doing everything right. Yes, they have some serious problems to work on. No, there is no assurance they are even going to make it as a company. And no, I don't even want the Pre. But when you finally start noticing some of the positive things Palm does, just maybe your 'criticism' might sound a little more valid than the perpetual stream of innuendo you keep throwing out here in the name of 'I'm really just interested'.

Since it is possible I missed them, please point me to the posts where you acknowledged anything Palm has done right. Please, show me the tiniest bit of a balanced view of Palm. It really is possible I missed those couple of posts over the past five years. Maybe you really do have something like a 99 to 1 ratio, and I just haven't noticed. If so, my bad.

So SV, why in the WORLD do you spend so much time disparaging Palm? What's the obsession all about?

I don't suppose my criticism of the keyboard is very valid, since I've never used one of that size. But I can't imagine how I could type on any keyboard that small with any accuracy. I have a hard enough time always hitting the right number on my dumbphone's number pad. (Which, by the way, has a terrible design; I'll pay much more attention to that next time I buy a phone.) I've never wanted a physical keyboard. But my use of an onscreen keyboard for my TX leaves me disappointed as well. And that's in landscape mode and fills almost the whole screen! So I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think it's the Pre's keyboard.

RE: yay
if only someone would make a device with a physical keyboard the size of apple's virtual one in landscape.

Too large and too small are very subjective terms that vary widely with indiividual choice. I've been using my Pre for less than 24 hours and I'm already pretty comfortable with the keyboard. I'd be lying if I said I was as fast at typing with it as I was with my Treo 680 but I'm at least as accurate. The beast part of the Pre keyboard is that it makes one-handed typing possible again. This was a feature I had sorely missed when I was using the T-Mobile G1 as my regular phone. I've played with the iPhone keyboard many times and I've never felt comfortable with it. My Pre's keyboard felt comfortable almost immediately.
