Doesn’t work

I tried to use the Book by Budget feature. The Leave From screen endlessly loads so you can’t actually use it. I tried it on and off WiFi and made sure my location services were enabled. As I work in technology, I tried to report this bug to them directly instead of witting a poor review but their website’s contact form doesn’t work either! “Form failed to send. Try again later.” It’s a good idea but doesn’t work.

Please fix bugs

I’m giving you 5 stars to encourage the idea behind this app. But overall, this app isn’t working.

When someone wants to travel anywhere anytime on a set budget, you only need to ask these questions

1. The $ I want to pay
2. Fly out from where
3. In what class (economy, plus, business, etc.)
4. Number of travelers
5. How many weeks or months (optional)
6. Continent of interest (optional)

And that’s it. Then you suggest where to go and when to leave that will keep us in that budget.

Otherwise, if you are asking when I want to leave and return, etc., there are already many apps out there I can use.

Google flight is the closest thing to show fares costs months ahead. But I still have to have the destinations.

Here are a few scenarios that I wish there’s an app exists to help me… if I want to fly to Thailand for $4500 budget on a business class flight for 7-8 weeks, when is the date to leave and come back?

Another time I just want to go anywhere within $200 budget. Where can I go and when to leave and return? And if this is too broad, then maybe you’ll have me add more criteria, e.g., I want to be gone for 3 days, etc.

This app should consider filling the gap for self-employed/ entrepreneurs who need a break, know how much they want to spend, and roughly for how long. It’s not for those who need to travel on XYZ date, which there are many apps already that cover those criteria.

Disappointment

Got very excite to use this app, but it unusable. You can’t input your location and it won’t locate you to book any trips. Terrible.

Basic Functionality Not There

Great idea, but this all doesn’t work. It will not populate “leaving from” for me, even with wifi, tries in different locations, etc. seems so silly.

It doesn’t work

As others have said, it won’t load an origin city so is completely non-functional.

App does not work or allow child travelers

I downloaded excited to be able to looks at vacations based on budget. Was immediately let down when it would not populate my “traveling from” location and in addition when I tried to add the travelers it would only let me add an adult number, there is no option for traveling with children. Deleted after less than 5 mins of download. Would be a great idea if it worked!

Search engine

Destination never loads in search engine

App doesn’t work

I read about this app in Real Simple magazine and was excited to try it, but I couldn’t get it to work at all! It immediately got hung up trying to auto-generate my location, which I had given the app permission to do, so I couldn’t search for anything. I decided to try and create an account in case that was the issue, but when I signed up it just got hung up forever on “please wait”. Deleting. Sigh.

App developers, back to drawing board

App doesn’t load anything.. tried putting in location to no avail. Tried logging in first to see if it helped, couldn’t even get logged in.

Doesn’t work

Such a great idea. Too bad it isn’t functional in any way.

this app literally doesn’t even work

it won’t even load my location. please. back to the drawing board.

Used to work

It used to be a neat app to use but no longer works at all. I appears as though something may have happened to the company as there website has a bunch of broken links and appears to no longer be maintained.

Used to work

It used to be a neat app to use but no longer works at all.

No longer works. Very glitchy.

I used to love this app, back when it worked. But no longer.

Cannot even get in to use the app

Not sure how great the research will be when you cannot even get in to use it. I have been trying for over a week and it just says ‘Please wait’. Well I have been waiting over a week.

Not Functioning

The app will not register my input. For example, I put in my location and the says it is “ Updating Location”. I does not update, just keeps circling. Also I try to update # of travelers but app does not update. Thank you

Great idea, it just doesn’t work

Honestly, I’m not sure how an app like this even makes it to the App Store… it literally *doesn’t work.* Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great idea. But if you can’t even be trusted to hire the right developers to make your app work, how can I, as a consumer, be expected to trust the booking process? Get it together. Also—reply to your consumers!! Seriously, where are the professionals?!? Pathetic.

Will not load locations

I have tried loading my departing location multiple times over multiple days and it does not load. I cannot even begin to use the app because it won’t work.

Useless

When I first downloaded this app it worked as advertised. It’s recently become useless. I input data - such as place of departure - and it just spins. Too bad - this app used to be good.

If only..

If it worked it would be great. It’s exactly what I’m looking for and need to plan a budget friendly trip with my family but it just doesn’t work. Couldn’t get it to do anything.. not even find a location to start from
