Thanks dev.
for the lazy
here is the app the OP is speaking of
Free FlightAware Flight Tracker - Download FlightAware Flight Tracker - Free Apps from BlackBerry App World
It seems to work really good on the Playbook. Uses the gps for location to bring up nearby activity. Logged into my Flightaware account no problem.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my Playbook. I just get a black screen and I see one other reviewer had the same problem. I love it on my Torch but clearly there are still some bugs in the PB version. I just hope they fix them soon. If anyone finds a solution in the meantime please post. I have already tried uninstalling, doing a three button reset and reinstalling without success.
The Flightaware service is really cool and I have used the website on my PB with some success. It's cool when while sitting in my backyard on the Canadian prairie I look up to spy a very large jet with 4 vapour trails and log into Fightaware to be find out I'm looking at an Airbus A380 enroute from London to LAX. This is why a working PB app would be ideal for backyard jet watching.
Works great for me as well. Not sure why it's not working for some. Have you tried restarting your PB?
Will this work in the UK or is it for the USA only
When I follow that link on my PlayBook, I get a message saying that this app will not work with my device profile.
Cheers, Chris
Is it an Android or native app?
Native APP as far as I can tell.
This sounds like a cool app for backyard fun!
But alas, I'm also see the blank screen on initial load... :-(
I just use the website. FlightAware > Live Flight Tracker or this mobile site from FlightView FlightView - Mobile Flight Tracker - By Flight
Same message here too
Change that. Went to app world and did a search for flight aware. That took me to one I could download
