I still can’t comment on the deals because I’ve only had this app for a month, but it is annoying to have to scroll through options from left to right. There are simply just some user interface things on the app that feel sloppy. For example, in any section, you can keep scrolling to the right even though there are no more deal options, so you’re scrolling through blank slots. It’s also annoying that you can’t set specific destination preferences. You can set it by continent but not by city or country.

We really appreciate hearing your feedback and we have forwarded your message onto our development team. Please let us know if you have additional feedback at team@faredrop.com; we are always looking to improve our app and our user experience. The app works great. Does what it needs to, BUT, when I tap a notification for a fare, it opens to the home page instead of the fare the notification was for. That’s 1 problem. My 2nd issue is that if I open the app that way, by tapping a notification and not launching it from my Home Screen, the app will NOT register touches on fares. I can scroll, but it doesn’t let me view fares. I have to kill the app and open it again before it will start working. Not the worst, but it’s been an issue for months.

Thank you for letting us know about this issue. I have passed your message along to our development team. Let us know if you have any questions regarding our service at team@faredrop.com!If I were the creator I would do one of 2 things number 1 I would lower prices or make the who experience free and do paid advertising. Then, I would make a search bar to have we’re you want to go. Over all it is an amazing app and highly and enjoy using it.
The app is easy to use and does a great job letting you set parameters to be notified about cheap flights except for one aspect. I really would love to have the ability to only see deals from specific airlines. I am a loyalty member with status for American so I’m really only interested in seeing American flight deals. For me that would bump it up to 5 stars
Maybe other people live near “better” airports. I really wanted to love this app but it’s so far been pretty useless and borderline annoying. 1. Only larger airports, so people who live in or often fly to smaller places, you can only get options that requires hours of driving. I get it, that may not be the target. But then 2. Even after having airports such as Boston set up, so far I’ve mostly encountered super long or overnights flights that no one wants when taking a short vacation. And this is after clicking on all options that show up 3. They don’t update THAT often, so there are often deals up that are simply not available anymore, and I’m sitting here clicking through all of them wasting time. Leaving 2 stars cause it seems like it works for some other people, but so far it’s been absolutely useless.
App is great to use! I would recommend this subscription service to everyone! However, one thing that my wife and I wish the app could do is have the ability to filter exact locations we are wanting to travel to. For example, we like to travel to Switzerland and Italy, but there is no way for the app, at this point, to give us fare drops on just those specific areas, instead it gives you fare drops for all of Europe. Another feature I hope one day would make its way into the app is the ability to choose which airlines you specifically want. We are almost exclusively delta customers so would be nice to just be able to filter just fares from delta. All in all I think this is a great service!

Stay tuned for 2023! We've got some fun things planned :)I haven’t officially booked a flight yet, but as someone who scours google flights everyday looking for a deal to a new, exciting international destination this app is amazing. It saves me so much time as I’m not constantly changing dates and destinations to find a lower price, it’s just a click away. Highly recommend.
Paid for my FareDrop subscription from a campsite in Costa Rica on lake Arenal.. immediately after paying for the app, one of the first trips were business class seats to Costa Rica for cheaper than we paid for our economy class seats.
Cannot wait to use this app as a tool to planning future trips. It’s easy to use, clean and simple design, and it gives you great travel ideas as well. It will certainly be the place we buy tickets from now on.
Thank y’all so much for this app. My name is Jason Bond and I’m 16 years old. I uses this app to show my mom deals and places we can go. We are place for the deals that y’all have placed on y’all app. I been watching y’all videos for years but I never signed up into y’all made the video on the give away. But I’m glad I seen the video because at first it was just for the giveaway but now I actually using it for the deals. Just wanted to say this is one great app.
Honestly couldn’t say enough about this app and how great it is… was able to travel to crazy destinations I didn’t even think about going to.
