To enhance its wide range of mobile travel applications, Mobiata releases the Android version of its FlightTrack mobile application. Claiming to be the best-selling mobile travel app from Mobiata, FlightTrack offers seamless real-time commercial flight tracking and flight status updates from around the world.
After its launch in 2008, FlightTrack claims to be the top-rated app in the iPhone Travel bestseller list. It offers extensive live flight information like route maps and flight status alerts for cancellations, delays, gate changes, aircraft changes, baggage claim and more as they take place.
“FlightTrack appeals to a wide range of users — less frequent flyers appreciate the easy-to-use interface and live flight data, while road-warrior travelers depend on the app’s more advanced, ‘predictive’ features, including route mapping, airport delay and closure warnings, and more,” said Ben Kazez, president of Mobiata. “This new Android version capitalizes on one of the fastest-growing mobile platforms in the world and should dramatically increase FlightTrack’s market penetration.”
FlightTrack integrates advanced international flight tracking features that are empowered by data from FlightStats. It enriches user’s travel experience with real-time and historical flight information. Users can search and add flights to their itineraries, 11 months in advance. If any changes occur in real-time FlightTrack automatically updates flight status information and alerts travelers prior to flight cancellation, allowing them to find alternate flights easily. Users can also view departure and arrival information on their homescreens, thanks to the unique Android widget that shows an instant glimpse of the most recent flight without opening the application.
For live flight tracking, the app houses Google Map which enables users to view an aircraft’s exact location on satellite imagery. Users can zoom or pan a tracking map to check their flight’s progress along with other flight’s information as well.
With FlightTrack’s offline mode, users can access last-known flight details anytime, anywhere. This allows travelers to review their airport gate, arrival/departure times and connection information. Owing to this app, travelers can track flights statuses across the U.S., Canada, UK, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, China, India, Japan, South America and more.
Android users can download the FlightTrack Android version available at the Android Market for US$3.99.
