It seems to offer destinations and prices but I’m not sure who doesn’t already know where to go? I want the lowest price flight and my dates are flexible, but why should I be asked to pay for an app that is already advertising to me? This is so confusing! They immediately ask for 5 bucks a month for what service? Knowing when it’s cheaper to fly? ### 1/5 — Found a cheaper flight in 5 min. *2024-03-03, version 4.07* I don’t know what the limits are for there fare-bots, but I’m unimpressed with this one. ### 1/5 — SCAM! Do not even look at this app! *2024-02-09* A few days ago I downloaded the Fareness app and I was looking to seeing what it offered. After a few minutes or so I wasn’t able to use the app without a prompt to get a subscription. There was a free trial and I chose to do that. There was even a message that I will be notified when my free trial is over. I browsed the app for sometime more and realized that it does not have what I am looking for. So I went and cancelled the app subscription the same day. However, I received a charge for the monthly fee on 2/6 when the free trial ended. This should not have occurred in the first place!! I cancelled the free trial! After contacting Apple I was notified to contact the developer for a resolution. I would like to get the charge removed and reimbursed to my account. I did not find my experience with the app satisfactory and the info was very misleading. This is a scam. ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2024-02-06, version 4.07* Who is this app for? The frequent travelers? The occasional travelers? A frequent traveler doesn’t have flexibility in dates and the occasional has no need to pay a monthly fee. This shouldn’t be a paid app ### 1/5 — Promising but unusable *2024-02-03, version 4.07* Seems like a really cool and promising app, but requires a subscription to do anything at all. Complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Horrible - why would you pay? *2024-01-11, version 4.07* This is a horrible app. Why would you pay for something that doesn't even function very well. ### 1/5 — It didn’t work for me *2023-08-14, version 4.07* I paid the subscription but my flights never loaded ### 1/5 — Hi *2023-07-11, version 4.07* Just downloaded this app picked my flights then takes me to Priceline and that’s it. It trying to load but doesn’t. How can I cancel it before my free trial is up ### 1/5 — Useless unless you subscribe *2022-10-06, version 4.07* I should have figured it out when their website shut down and forced me to use the app. I tried downloading the app, but in order to use it you must subscribe to their service. It is no longer a free or even a cheap service unless you fly very frequently. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t use it because they want you to buy it *2022-07-27, version 4.07* Disappointed ## Frequently asked questions about Fareness ### What does Fareness do?
