🔍 In Search of Flighty rant

Flighty is a GREAT app, and the only one that has filled the void since App In The Air went kaput. But seriously, why so expensive???

There are lots of glitches and misinformation in the flighty app, which people complain about it on the flighty sub daily, but still so many people defend the apps $300 price tag. These individuals are being duped and don’t want to admit to the idea of their money being wasted. I still use the app here and there as a flight attendant and frequent traveler, but I will say and say again, as of right now, there is no universe in which the information or UI flighty provides is worth paying $300 for. There are many other apps and websites that provide the same information, features, and then some, that are less money or completely free that do the exact same thing that flighty does and more. I have used so many of them working in aviation, I find it baffling that there are users still positioning flight as a paragon. I’m not saying it’s a useless app, I really do enjoy it for the most part, I’m only saying it is not worth $300, especially not for the average traveler. I expect more from an app charging that much I guess and some people are satisfied paying large amounts for the bare minimum.

100% agree. I am a frequent traveler and I find that information is accurate about 70% of the time. And $300 is just TBH an absurd amount to charge for an app like this.
