App in the Air
App in the Air is an application whose mission is to facilitate the lives of those who fly. This app exists on iOS and Android but here I will only describe my experience with the Android version. For me App in the Air is not only very useful but also very eye catching.
Introduction
The application is designed with the frequent travelers in mind, aiming to ease the whole process of traveling by air. Know where to find the best food in the airport and how to connect to free wireless internet. Learn the best ways to spend free time and find the best coffee. Don’t be late with online check-in and keep your friends and family updated by sharing your flight status.
Navigation
The first step to use the application is to enter his or her flight numbers. You can also search your flight with the date and the airline company. Simple and efficient.
Then, the main user interface is very simple. You’re presented with three tabs, each of which overlays onto a Google Maps representation of the data. The application displays key information related thereto, including the number of the boarding gate and the remaining time before the next flight.
Once on the plane, we can follow the progress of the flight offline, which is generated from the elapsed time and not the actual distance traveled. The application also associates each flight a checklist of 13 things to do before you go and a list of 26 items to bring with you.
When connected to the Internet, the application is updated in real time. The application also displays information on each airport and offers related advertising, (free wireless internet, hotel rooms on the periphery, etc.). In addition, App in the Air allows users to share comments on each airport.
There is also a screen with some statistics on your trips, the number of hours in the air, the number of different countries visited, etc. All the features of the application are free, except for one that allows you to receive push notifications and reminder text messages, just to avoid missing your flight. This feature also allows text message to notify up to three recipients, for example to inform your family and friends.
