1. [R2] FlightStats 5/5 · US Accurate: It’s great to have this app, I used it a lot to get info about gate , terminals etc . I really like it and I have this apps for a few years ! It’s a keeper !
2. [R11] FlightStats 5/5 · US Best flight tracking app we’ve found: We have downloaded & deleted so many flight tracker apps because they just do not perform as needed. Flightstats very good with all pertinent info right in front of you. Also, best LIVE flight tracking map we’ve seen. Bonus is it’s free. For now…. Many thanks to developers!
3. [R61] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 2/5 · US Usually great, but some frustrating caveats: I’ve found great airfare with Skyscanner before, but a frustrating issue I run into is the fares shown in the search look very promising, but when I click on that flight, all of a sudden the price of fares doubles. It’s very annoying and feels like a bait and switch.
4. [R70] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 2/5 · US Not Reliable: This app no longer collects the best deals in flights. There are other search apps that is now better than this. Deleted the app. Better flight deals show on other search apps that doesnt show on here. Used to be a very reliable app.
5. [R45] FlightStats 5/5 · US Easy to use: Great app. Accurate information. Simple and easy to use
6. [R26] FlightStats 5/5 · US Best flight tracker ever!!: So many of these flight sites want to charge you … and then they’re so complicated u need a graduate degree to figure out how to use them!!! So glad that FLIGHTSTATS keeps it SIMPLE and FREE to use .. and most important USER FRIENDLY!!!
7. [R88] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US New update is horrible: I’ve used this site for years. Always been easy to use new update is not user friendly. And the back button doesn’t work just freezes or makes you start over. Fire the team that did this to your site.
8. [R96] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 3/5 · GB Don’t fix it if it’s not broken: They have changed my favourite app. Given it a make over it didn’t need. I use this app a lot as I travel very often and it’s not so user friendly now.
9. [R21] FlightStats 3/5 · US Drags: This app has been dragging for me. It doesn’t have up to date information about flights! I can go back and look at a flight that landed an hour ago and it still shows departed and right on top of the arriving airport. Sad , I used to love this app!
10. [R79] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US Keeps freezing: I don’t typically take the time to leave a review, but I’ve honestly been so annoyed by this app that I feel it’s only justified. Every time I try to use this freaking app it freezes on me and then I have to delete it and reload it. the website may be good. The app is a giant piece of garbage.
11. [R105] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 3/5 · GB App freezes: Skyscanner provides a fantastic service, however the app itself keeps freezing when you are trying to use it. It’s very hard to search for more than a minute or two before the app freezes and everything stops. It is frustrating as it feels like everything takes twice as long to find because the app keeps stopping and freezing. If that can be fixed, this would be great.
12. [R27] FlightStats 3/5 · GB Good app, but annoying adverts: The application itself is good. Well laid out, accurate and has everything that you need to know about the flight. My only annoyance is that the ability to remove adverts has been removed (no in-app purchases are available). The adverts are quite large too.
13. [R67] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US DO NOT TRUST BUDGET AIR: I booked through SkyScanner and unfortunately, they include Budget Air which is a scam company. Look up their reviews. All one stars. I reached out to support and told them not to reach out to Budget Air, and they did the exact opposite. I hardly write reviews, but this is crazy. I booked through Budget Air, only to find out they canceled my flight without my consent the s
14. [R3] FlightStats 3/5 · US What happened?: Used to be a very reliable app…can’t even create a free account anymore. Had high hopes but now it’s just useless.
15. [R10] FlightStats 1/5 · US inoperative: Tried multiple times to create account…never sent email confirmation. Very frustrating!
16. [R109] Skyscanner Flights & Travel 1/5 · US Bad airline ticket sources - GO TO GATE: Skyscanner does not authenticate their airline ticket sources, for instances, we selected website GO TO GATE to purchase Azul Airline ticket and GO TO GATE website NEVER issues a confirmation number for an Azul flight. Ticket counter agent needed this information for check in, GO TO GATE issues an “Order” number not valid at airline check-in.
