1. Wrong delay alert
Sorry, a wrong alert on travel day is stressful. Our data comes from {sources} and sometimes the airline updates late. Please send us the flight number and date so we can check what went wrong.
2. Notifications missing
Thanks for reporting. Please check that notifications and Background App Refresh are on for the app; iOS Focus modes can also hide alerts. If they're on, contact {support}.
3. Paywall
Understood. Tracking a flight stays free; Pro adds {pro features}. We're happy to extend a trial if you have a trip coming up — just email us.
4. Flight not found
Sorry about that. Some regional carriers are added a few days before departure. Try searching by route; if it's still missing, send us the flight number and we'll add it.
Rules that get ratings updated
- Reply within 24–48 hours. Fast replies are when the reviewer is most likely to update their rating. Prioritise 1★ and 2★ reviews that mention a specific bug or charge.
- Open with the specific problem, not a script. Name what they reported ("your ride didn't save") in the first sentence. Generic "We're sorry for any inconvenience" replies read as automated.
- Give one concrete next step. A setting, a version that fixes it, or a support link. Never ask for personal or payment details in a public reply.
- Don't argue or blame the user. Other prospective users read your reply more than the reviewer does. Stay calm even when the review is unfair.
- Close the loop when you fix it. Apple and Google both notify the reviewer when you edit your reply. When the fix ships, update the reply. That's when ratings change.
- Keep it short. 2–4 sentences. App Store replies are limited to about 5,970 characters and Google Play to 350, so Play replies must be tight.
