Editor's Review
Aena runs the airports in Spain, from Madrid Barajas and Barcelona El Prat down to the small island and regional fields, and this is the operator's own app rather than a third-party flight tracker. That distinction matters mainly for the data behind it: the arrival and departure boards come from the same source as the screens in the terminal.
Beyond those boards, the app carries terminal maps, the locations of check-in desks, gates, shops and restaurants, waiting times where they are published, parking information with booking at participating car parks, and details of ground transport to and from each airport. You can follow a specific flight and have status changes pushed to the phone, which is the feature most travellers actually keep it installed for.
A 4.33 rating fits an app that earns its place on the day of travel and sits unused otherwise. Coverage stops at the Spanish network, so a connection elsewhere needs something else, and the depth of indoor mapping varies a great deal between a hub like Barajas and a small regional terminal. Treat it as a travel-day companion rather than a general aviation app.

Pros
Board data comes straight from the airport operator

No use outside Spanish airports, so connecting journeys need a second app
Indoor maps and service detail are far richer at the big hubs than the small ones
