FlightView Flight Tracking App for BlackBerry Storm

"Since launching our first BlackBerry app in 2009, we have been inundated by requests from Storm users for a version that works on their device," said Mike Benjamin, CEO of FlightView. "We've now got a complete suite of apps uniquely designed for every Blackberry device and are thrilled to deliver what Storm users asked for - with thanks in no small part to their support during the development phase."

Whether flying for business or leisure, FlightView is the trusted travel app for smart phone users nationwide. FlightView's version 1.4 gives Storm users the power to:

  • Effortlessly manage travel: FlightView integrates scheduled flights with BlackBerry's calendar, updating gate, arrival, and departure information in real-time - while preventing double booking.
  • Track Flights: Waiting to pick up a friend or colleague at the airport? Find out exactly when your friends and co-workers will land by tracking their flights in real time with the market's most accurate data.
