Current Momentum

v9.6

*** Version 9.6.0 *** (late February 2026 ) * Searching for flights by Route will now always include the ability to filter by "Duration," "Departure" or "Arrival." * Fixed an issue when searching alternates for a flight departing in a different time zone than your current location where sometimes not all flights were displayed. * Fixed a rare issue when searching for alternates did not always show flight duration correctly. * Minor bug fixes. Back in April of 2020 we added additional measures to our flight status servers to detect when a flight has been cancelled to give you more advanced notice. Because of the pandemic, flight cancellations have been more frequent and it was clear this addition was necessary. If you ever have any comments, complaints or compliments, please go into the Prefs screen within the app and tap the "Email the Author" field. You will always get a response in a timely fashion HIGHLIGHTS of SOME of the RECENT PAST UPDATES: *** Version 9.5.0 *** (late January 2026 ) * Added "next day" (and similar) to flights within the Flight List view when a flight is landing on a different day than it departed on * Update screens to better display navigation bar when in dark mode * Now prevent pasting flight numbers that contain alpha characters (flight numbers are always numeric only) * Added new airlines * Better handling of onboarding new users * Better handling of some informational screen regarding status of subscription * Other minor bug fixes and UI improvements *** Version 9.2.0 *** (early April 2025 ) * Incorporated new aircrafts types and seating charts * Added "next day" indication in flight list * Fixed some typos in some alert strings * Other minor UI improvements *** Version 9.1.0 *** (mid February 2025 ) * Only $1 * Fixes some UI issues for iPad. * BIG NEW FEATURE * *** Version 9.0.0 *** (mid February 2025 ) * Now Flight Update Pro allows you to search flights by route that are not direct, also known as Multi-Leg flights or Connections. Every user can trial it at any time and can do up to 5 multi-leg flight searches prior to requiring a subscription to multi-leg flight searches. * We use an algorithm that finds ONLY the best connecting flights. ** This new feature has also been incorporated into the "Alternates" screens. This is incredibly useful in quickly finding an alternate where there are no more direct flights available for the day ** * Other user interface improvements. *** Version 8.4.0 *** (early January 2025 ) * App no longer immediately requests permission to send push notifications for new users when first launching the app. * Improves flight status details displayed after landing. * User interface improvements and minor bug fixes. *** Version 8.3.1 *** (early July 2024 ) * Properly updates "mirrored" Calendar entry immediately upon the app detecting a flight schedule has changed. * Updates to some older terminal maps * When searching for your "Inbound aircraft to your gate" the city it originated from is now shown * Fixed an issue that when somtimes tapping on a push notification it would not display the flight for that push notification * Some other smaller bug fixes *** Version 8.2.9 *** (late January 2024 ) * Properly displays flight times when downloading Past history from TripIt. * Fixes an issue when downloading from TripIt when your allocation has been exceeded. * Minor bug fixes. ** Version 8.1.0 ** (mid August '23 ) * Introducing expanded push notification preferences.
