Useless waste of megabytes

Before proceeding it required me to enter my flight information. It didn’t recognize my flight number and it said there were no matches for the departure city- Dublin. Immediately deleted

Won’t pair

Used to pair but last few times it won’t pair or give me any option to pair. I have reinstalled but won’t work. I am on WiFi on the plane but the app is useless so I can’t use mt headphones.

No obvious way to connect this when on flight

Completely useless.

Useless

Was completely pointless, the app kept disconnecting. Served no purpose to the flight and was entirely pointless. Don’t download!
