Apple picker As an aviation fan, for a long time I was looking for an application that would provide me with information about flights from Prague Airport. Unfortunately, I have only found applications that collect data from global databases and thus display only part of the flights, and with only a small amount of data – basically just time, flight number and destination.
However, last week I came across a new Czech application iAviation CS, providing information on operations at Czech and Slovak international airports. The application claims in its description and on its website that it uses data directly from individual airports. This intrigued me and I decided to test it.
The home page offers a selection of airports, Brno, Karlovy Vary, Ostrava, Prague, Bratislava and Košice are available. Logically, Prague contains the most information, which is also preselected by default. The application is localized in Czech (according to the website also Slovak, English, German, Spanish and Polish). In the lower taskbar, you can switch to Departures, Arrivals a Airport info.
The page of departures and arrivals is very nicely graphically processed, at the beginning of the statement there is always a picture with the motif of the given airport. Each flight contains the date, time, flight number, destination, airline logo, terminal designation, codeshare lines and current flight status (what you know from information systems at airports – BOARDING, LAST CALL, etc.). You can also click on a flight to get even more detailed information. There is also a button Filter, with which you select the display of flights to/from certain destinations or only flights of selected airlines.
On the detailed page of the flight, you can also see the name of the airline, the relevant check-in and boarding counters, the type of aircraft and the weather at the destination. The arrival screen also contains a picture of the suitcase, according to the current status of baggage unloading. Click on this image to get this information in text form. However, this only works at the Prague airport, other airports apparently do not support this information. I also found the SMS button useful, which allows you to send flight information to someone else.
A very interesting effect occurs when you rotate the iPhone on this detailed page. This is because the screen will change to a graphic form corresponding to the given airline, which the company uses on the screens during check-in at the airport. This fancy trick makes the app stand out. Last tab Airport info refers to the website of the given airport, usually to an overview of news.
I personally like the application very much, even though I am not a frequent traveler, at most once a year on vacation. Still, I will definitely use the app. Detailed and especially complete information is a big plus against similar applications. I can imagine that it will be used not only by people who often fly, but also by others - for example, taxi drivers, travel agents, spotters or maybe just airplane fans like me...
A few days ago, the version for iPad was also released, so maybe next time...
iViation CS on the App Store - $2,99
OK, but 100% of people won't use it anyway, but it's good as a toy. I enjoyed it for about 2-4 minutes. Therefore, the price is very expensive. Most people wouldn't even download it for free. It's about as useful as teletext on nova for someone with an iPhone…..
I will use her. As a spotter on the LKPR :) otherwise the price would go down. But buy a special version for ipad and especially for iphone. They are going somewhere
OK - I admit it - you are probably the only one - but in this case I understand - I had no idea that there was such a "trick" for photography...
It exists. But I also photograph a lot of other things. There are fighters (mostly in duchod) who are there in order. I only go for "big fish".
Otherwise, I downloaded the app. You can't do almost anything for that money. And that's all of July in action. Arrivals and departures are also on prg.info. What's nice here is the screen after rewinding.
I will use it a lot too ;)
It can be seen that you're not too weaned on the airport, 'clumsy' :)
It wouldn't be a problem for us taxi drivers if it was possible to set notifications for changes in flight statuses!
The application looks very nice, judging by the description and picture. For those who actually use it, the price of $2.99 will not be a problem at all. Otherwise, the text of the article, knowing that it is an advertising message, seems quite strange to me, so implausible. I don't want to dig into it, it's written quite nicely, but probably not in accordance with the commercial message. Then it will be hard for a person to believe some passages. But only to the extreme.
Hello, I know it's not relevant to the article and I apologize in advance, but since I'm a beginner apple fan, I'd be interested in what you, who are involved in the world of Apple, think about it... but to get to what I want... I'm a little interested in google and one more thing about google+ and recently I had the thought that when facebook joins with microsoft if it couldn't happen, should apple join with google (respectively google+)??
Three years ago it would have been possible, but today the world is full
other. Google from Android and the cavalry of Samsung and LG is the biggest competitor
Apple. Microsoft is trying tooth and nail to catch up with the train that missed it by
buys shares wherever possible (Skype, Nokia, Facebook). But neither does the Apple agreement and
facebook is not without a catch, both are big players and neither of them wants to
retreat from the requirement that it has, in this respect google+ could facebook a little
pat in the direction of apple because every android will have google+ natively
and it certainly wouldn't hurt Facebook if it also had its iron in the fire and
the best grill would be an iphone. Therefore, it is far away at this time
it is more likely that apple will agree with facebook because wait for what
Microsoft is cheating and if it works it would be uneconomical for Facebook.
On the other hand, a connection with Twitter appeared in the betas of the new iOS. So
only time will tell how it turns out. But with the combination of iPhone and Google+ I would
definitely didn't count :)
One would not believe how many times the most sense falls from people who are not able to write a single line without a mistake. Here again, the Czech language cried...
Very useful app for me. I will use it immediately and try it next week when I leave for vacation. Thanks
How about typing prg.aero in Safari? It's a site tailored specifically to the iPhone and has all this information.
This is bullshit again - very useful, going on vacation... :-D Just spam...
You can see that you don't fly much, boy :)
With the application, in contrast to prg.aero, I also have information about the unloading of my luggage upon arrival (which can be useful so that I don't have to wait at the belt and go straight to claims). I also couldn't find the weather in the final destinations on prg.aero for the flight (I want to know if I should take a svert in my hand luggage when I get off the plane), let alone information from the airport in Brno:)(from where my family and I sometimes fly on vacation ). Company logos are probably not worth mentioning.
On the contrary, keep going developers. Don't be put off by the typically Czech cleverness of the critic. :) He's young, maybe he'll grow out of it..
It is worth considering adding more airports to the application!! Update with automatic notification is a good idea!!!!
:-D Unfortunately, I'm not young anymore, and I'm definitely far more experienced than you. Several at a time. ;-)
Ah, so older, I feel even more sorry for you. Now I understand your frustration disguised as an expert in the form of a critic. How typically Czech...;)
I think you're crying here completely unnecessarily, we don't feel sorry for you here at all, so present your frustration somewhere else. ;-)
After all, I'm not flustered about anything. On the contrary, I love apple as much as all things related to it. Try to read our communication again and you will understand…
So. Now you've read it one more time and I hope you understand my pity for people who buy a phone for 20k and then prefer to surf on safari to save 50kc ;) You need to tell your dad that when he buys you a phone, you he lent his card and you could use all his advantages over other phones, travelers;) PS: If you travel so much (several times compared to me), please where was the last time you were on a plane and when was it? I go to RJTT every summer with my family. But to know where it is, you would have to download Aviation(.cz), but since you have an iPhone, you'd rather use SAFARI :):)
I already understand everything. South Moravian, blond, 36. Been flying a lot on FS09. That says it all. Sorry I didn't find out sooner. I wouldn't get into this highly intellectual discussion at all, South Moravian old man.
:-D :-D :-D You are completely out of touch. And I have never flown FS, I have no problem with buying the application and I have Aviation as well, although I don't need it to recognize Tokyo airports by code. I repeat once again - without crying somewhere else, you are crying nonsense here unnecessarily. ;-)
That's probably what made me cry the most, Karl, how you created the illusion that you obviously know the ICAO code of Narita Airport. I'm laughing and crying..
LLol how many spammers are there saying how great the app is...
The producer/creator is really poor, he recorded probably all apple sites including discussions on people.. simply poor naa entou.. and before 3 euros...
..I had no idea that there are such zero sellers among the appstore.. with an app with zero functionality..:/
Not much design. The elements are deployed hastily, it feels like a hot needle to me. There is already version 2.0 for iPhone. For iPad still 1.1. I don't like the screenshots somehow, the iPhone version has four options at the bottom, the iPad only three (if the departures/arrivals are on one screen in two columns, that's not much). From this I conclude that the developers will be pretty pigs, the iPad version is actually more expensive and still in an older version. I wanted to buy as an aviation fan, I have Flighradar24 and Flightboard, but I don't have a good feeling about the developer. Support for hov**. I wrote to them last week, so far no response. In order to buy an app where, God graciously, I will have to wait for a new version, I pay them 3.99 for it.
