FlightView Free - Real-Time Flight Tracker and Airport Delay Status

My wife has been flying a lot on business lately, and Flightview has been very useful in tracking her progress. It is easy to track and receive notification for each separate leg of the journey, automatically send notifications for delayed flights and tracks the flight progress in both graphical and text form. I used it a few weeks ago and it was great to be able to passively track her progress without having to constantly check the app or my email.

From the iTunes App Store...
