My Air Times

Your QR code doesn't work (you need to include the protocol identifier "market:" in front of the URL!).

Anyway, I found it, installed it and tried it. First impressions: it is very, very slow. When I click on "Departure times", it takes a couple of seconds before the screen goes black and than another 10 seconds or so until the search-screen shows. It is also very slow to actually find information, it takes a couple of minutes (!) for example to get departure times from my local airport (AMS).

Other than that, it is somewhat "stubborn" when selecting airports in a country that is not the default. I've got my default set to the Netherlands, but I want departure times from an airport in Germany. So I type "germany" in the country-selection and than want to see information from Dusseldorf. When I type "Dusseldorf" at the "Select City..." prompt, it refuses that and provides a list of airports in the Netherlands. In the end, I had to wipe all fields and enter the correct airport code in the bottom to get to its information. That's not very helpful to the average traveler I guess.

 

Okay, I retried. Not an improvement, au contraire! First screen ("Welcome To My Air Times"), click "Search Times", I had to wait 6 seconds before the screen dissapeared and another 8 seconds before it shows the "Search" form.

Also, when entering "Dusseldorf" in the search field and the default country is "Netherlands", it doesn't find it. Actually, it won't find any airport unless you have the IATA code for it (and that just isn't workable). Searching, even on a highspeed wifi connection, takes forever. Literally.

 

Thanks for looking into this. I'm using an HTC Hero running BeHERO+1.2 (Eclair ROM). It is not slow in other apps.

I tried Duesseldorf as a generally accepted alternative (the German u+umlaut is often replaced by 'ue'!) but that wasn't accepted either.

I noticed you just updated the software to 1.6 so re-installed. Still very, very slow.

Duesseldorf doesn't work, Dusseldorf now is found. However, Dusseldorf isn't the only one... next I tried Munich airport. Can't find it as Munchen, Muenchen, M

 

Haha, no, I won't stop until you can pronounce "Schiphol" correctly

These airports sure have some remarkable names. I mentioned Rome, that would be the Leonardo Da Vinci Airport. And so on . Better to use the names of the cities I guess!

Super, I'll give it a whirl!

Hmm... remarkable, the market doesn't tell me there's a new version so I re-installed from the market. It still says "1.6" on that version. I'll try again later.

I'll keep ya posted!
