    It’s a real shame they didn’t give iPhone app of the year to Flighty in the end. Alltrails looks cool but Flighty is incredibly useful, to the point that I really can’t imagine travelling without it anymore

      I was surprised by that as well. Alltrail just seems like another exercise app that doesn’t seem to have anything over other similar apps.

      I think Flighty looks amazing, but I wonder in what way you use it that makes it hard to imagine to travel without it.

      Flighty is amazing. I was at ATL when they changed the plane and gate on us due to mechanical issues. You saw the dozen people with Flighty because we all got notifications at the same time and headed to the new gate before Delta had told anyone.

      Flighty actually took full advantage of Dynamic Island, widgets, and Live Activities early on in some innovative ways. Even their design & interface followed Apple’s guidelines to the T. I get AllTrails is a little more original and fosters more community, but Flighty is the perfect example of an app done right. 10/10 implementation.

      Maybe I need to give it a second look. I’ve been using kayak for many years. I didn’t see what flighty offered that kayak wasn’t already doing.
