There are two ways to install:
  • Normally if you have Android phone the chances are that you have Google(Gmail) account. You can download and install the app from Google Play. The user who installs the app through Google Play gets all new updates on this app automatically.
  • If for some reason you do not have Google account or just want to play with the app without joining the testers group, the application will be sent to your email, and can be installed from the mailbox on your smartphone. Google Play will not update this beta and your have to check the app new updates manually.

  5. Not recommended. Can't wait? Here is a direct link to download https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.flightontrack
Installation through email:
  1. Configure your device to allow installation from 'Unknown source'. Android protects users from inadvertent download and install of apps from locations other than Google Play. It blocks such installs until the user opts-in Unknown sources in Settings > More > Security. To allow the installation of applications from email, enable the Unknown sources setting on the device.
  2. Send email requesting the Flight On Track app from this link [beta@flightontrack.com]
  3. You will get an email with attachment. When the email message is opened on Android-powered device the Android system recognizes the app and displays an Install Now button in the email message.
  4. Touch this button and the application will be installed on your device
Way to test
  • Once the FONT app is installed on your device you are good to go.
  • To get familiar with the system try it first on the ground driving a car. Ground tracking will be disabled in production release but for testing purposed it works.
    1. Start the FONT application on your phone and set it up using the [Help] page. Do not check the Multileg box.
    2. Start driving. When you stop or slow down, the app stops tracking your route.
    3. From your home computer go to this website, log in using instruction on the [Help] page and check the recorded route.
  • Once you satisfied with the result do the same in your plane. Make sure you done all the preparations before you start engine. Put the smartphone in your aircraft in a place where gps signal is not blocked.
