This’ll maybe be a funny review, but what got me to five stars was that I tried the app for a year, it renewed on me, and I contacted them to get a refund because I just haven’t been traveling and so am not making use of it. They issued the refund with no hassle. So, hey, for what it does— show you deals on relatively impromptu travel— it seems to work pretty well. It’s worth a try if that’s your style.

I was a long time subscriber to Scott’s Cheap Flights, although admittedly I haven’t had a paid subscription in the last year or so. I recently decided to give it another go after completing some recent travel that I booked on my own. Downloaded the app today after being prompted to do so through email and can already see this is not the service for me anymore. I prefer email to the app. I don’t need yet another app on my phone. And in particular I don’t need one that doesn’t work. Filters in the same category (for at least some) are treated as “and” rather than “or” leading to no return results. In addition, the app has constantly been crashing and I’ve only had it for a few hours. I will definitely be canceling this subscription prior to the end of the trial period.

I took the trial on the full version as I am an international traveller and get exhausted looking for deals. Once installed I put in my next destination, Manila in the Philippines. Not found. Then put in five more recent ones that are more off the beaten path: Yerevan, Tashkent, etc. App did not recognize any of them. I plan to go to Dubai next year so figured that would be more popular and yes it found that airport. But none of the other airports were found and I was not able to save any future alerts even for Dubai. So far I see no value and cancelled my subscription. Appears to be functional only for very popular destinations although I was surprised that even Manila was not found.
