We review some of the properties of Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF)
models and show that they successfully describe many astrophysical systems.
Despite these successful applications some fundamental problems still remain to
be solved, the most important one being the physics of the transition between
an ADAF and a geometrically thin Keplerian disc.
