Flight Tracker+: first-time user experience analysis

Flight Tracker+ makes a strong first impression with a clean UI and clear utility, especially around flight coverage and Apple Watch integration. However, the onboarding flow pushes conversion and permissions too early—review requests, paywalls, and tracking prompts appear before users fully experience the core value. Despite this, the free tier remains usable with non-intrusive ads, creating a fair value exchange. Overall, it’s a solid product that would benefit from slowing down monetization to build trust first.

A really well-thought-out onboarding, but… what was it actually about?

The onboarding is visually polished and thoughtfully designed, with some genuinely enjoyable moments, but it introduces too much friction too early. Key permissions, account creation, and pricing appear before the app clearly explains its value, which creates confusion and weakens trust. By the time the user finally sees a concrete plan and understands what the app actually does, they’ve already been asked to commit, pay, and invite friends—making the experience feel well-executed, yet poorly sequenced.
