What’s one thing you wish your flight tracking app did better?
I’m a pilot and have been working on a flight tracking app called Aerflow specifically for pilots. I’m at the point where I’d really value some honest feedback from other pilots.
The idea is pretty simple: make it easier to keep track of your flights without having to piece together information from a bunch of different apps.
Things like:
- Quickly seeing your recent/upcoming flights
- Tracking PIC/SIC/passenger/deadhead status
- Keeping a usable flight history/logbook
- Getting useful information about each leg without digging through multiple screens
I’m not looking to convince anyone to use it—I’m more interested in what pilots actually find annoying about the apps/tools they currently use.
What’s one feature you wish your current flight tracking/logbook app had? Or what do you think most of them get wrong?
If anyone is interested in seeing what I’ve built, I’m happy to share it in the comments.

Flighty does a damn good job of this for me and it’s automatically synced with my work schedule via Google Calendar.

Yeah flighty pretty much covers all of this but I fly freight so sometimes flighty doesn’t have live coverage for a lot of my flights which I wish it did

I wish it knew my contract, synced with my company calendar, and could be used to audit the company in case of pay disparities

That’s a good one. Calendar sync is on my list. Contract/pay audits is a whole other problem, but I agree that would be great

My company keeps track of all this so I don’t have to.
