Examples, quoted verbatim

“Our flight was originally planned for a particular aircraft reg but changed the night before - Flighty however still kept saying it was the wrong reg and the departure info, times and notifications were stuck to the incorrect reg and not our exact registration” — Flighty – Live Flight Tracker (App Store), 2★

“I have cancelled my subscription as they hiked the price up significantly.” — Flighty – Live Flight Tracker (App Store), 2★

The recurring complaints in travel & flight tracking apps

1. Late or wrong notifications at exactly the moment travellers need them
2. Paywall for features users expected free (live tracking, alerts)
3. Data accuracy: gates, delays, missing flights

What to do with this

1. Pull your own last 500 reviews and tag them the same way. Your mix will differ from the category's.
2. Fix the theme with the most 1★ reviews first. Pricing complaints often need clearer copy, not a lower price.
3. Reply to every review that names a fixed bug, then edit the reply when the fix ships.
