Hangar - Social Flight Tracker

If you’re a professional pilot and fly in the flight levels, this app is pretty terrible. First takeoff out of FTW (Ft. Worth Meacham) it told my wife that we had returned to the airfield 5 minutes after takeoff, when in reality we were at FL240 and climbing. It’s done this on basically every flight so far, or, it just completely cuts off tracking in the middle of a flight and says we landed and sends her a text message, but we haven’t actually landed. It’s made my wife more nervous thinking something happened than giving her a piece of mind. So, until this app fixes the high altitude capability, I won’t be using it anymore. Thankfully I was doing the free trial and didn’t pay for it.

This app serves as an excellent “social media” platform for pilots, however, some of the displayed features are buggy and/or don’t work. Watching flights back via the “play” button, only shows a black screen and displays altitude changes. The 3D display does not work. All other features are great and I use the app regularly to log my flights in addition to my physical/digital logbooks. I’ll drop a 5-star review once the bugs are sorted out!

Hangar has made my time building fun! Being able to look beyond my logbook at my past flights and the people I’ve enjoyed them with has been awesome. Sam Is a very responsive developer and utilizes user feedback on a constant basis to make the app better. Pilot or not, this app is worth a download!
