### 3/5 — Can’t get past login screen

*2026-01-12, version 1.2*

3 stars because their web version is great, but this app has some major usability issues. This app would be way more popular if they improve their onboarding process and allow free tier like on their website.

### 3/5 — Subscription only is a disqualifier for me

*2025-05-17, version 1.2*

I use the web based Flight Connections often, but only when I am planning a trip. A few times a year, at most. It is indeed very useful. I got a new iPad and was excited to use an optimized app version. But I’m not paying some endless, ongoing subscription for an app I may use a few times a year. This is a ridiculous expectation. I would gladly pay a one time fee. But the app seems to only allow an endless recurring subscription model, and well, so it gets deleted.

### 2/5 — The app works if you can access it

*2024-10-26, version 1.2*

Very frustrating trying to break into Fort Knox every time you try to open this app. Seriously, I don’t have to jump through these hoops to reset my banking password. I’ve used it maybe 1 out of 10 times that I’ve wanted to because I’m ready to throw it out the window during the log in process. The WORST log in of any app I have ever used. For the love of jebus, please fix this so I can actually use the app I paid for.

### 2/5 — Routes Rarely Update

*2024-09-05, version 1.2*

New routes load for airlines almost weekly but takes weeks to months for Flight Connections to sync the data. DL XNA-SLC & XNA-DTW still missing 3+ weeks and AA XNA-PHL still missing after 2 weeks. Tried reaching out to their support on the missing routes to no response.

### 3/5 — Great app… when it works

*2024-08-25, version 1.2*

I love this app and the corresponding website. But I’ve just had to delete and reinstall it cause it won’t let me log back in. 🙁

### 2/5 — Good app but constantly logging in

*2024-08-16, version 1.2*

Whenever the app updates or you go a couple days without opening it, it requires you to login.  It is extremely inconvenient and annoying.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-07-20, version 1.2*

Be a whole lot cooler if it did

### 2/5 — Logging in each time is EXHAUSTNG

*2024-05-12, version 1.0*

Typically the point of downloading an app is to streamline access to a service. Unfortunately, I have to log into the app every single time I use it, which is beyond frustrating.. especially as a paying customer.

### 1/5 — It used to work, but not now

*2024-05-11, version 1.0*

After I logged in to my account, the map showed up, but other than that, everything is loading forever.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-05-01, version 1.0*

This app is glitchy and never even opened for me—a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Your app is broken, fix it.

*2024-03-06, version 1.0*

App does NOTHING unless you pay, and even then you can’t reasonably login, use or benefit from it. Please fix your broken app.

### 1/5 — Absolutely awful, best Googling your airport and flight map.

*2024-01-29, version 1.0*

A once great website that has gotten greedy and sold out to adverts. The last time I saw a webpage this unusable and impossible to navigate was 2001 on dial up and 1000’s of pop ups. 

Navigating it very slowly I accidentally clicked 2 hidden adverts.

My last visit to this site - such a shame!

### 1/5 — Anyone supporting this app?

*2024-01-03, version 1.0*

As has been pointed out in numerous previous reviews dating back months, if you are new user there is no way to create a login. When you download the app and open it you are taken to a login which assumes you already have an account & there is no way to create a new one.

### 3/5 — Scrolling and zooming is horrible

*2023-12-26, version 1.0*

The app works, but I have two issues with it:

1. Scrolling and zooming around the map is a terrible experience. As this is most of the interaction with the app, this makes it very annoying to use.

2. The app never remembers my login, so I always have to login to it manually each time.

### 1/5 — Unable to create account

*2023-12-20, version 1.0*

Looks like an awesome idea. But after I downloaded it the only page I get to is a sign in page. No option to create an account. Any attempt to enter info comes back with no account recognized. Not gonna jump thru a circle jerk trying to figure out to this if it’s not simple. Deleted.

### 1/5 — App

*2023-12-20, version 1.0*

Downloaded app but can’t sign up or on it. Ask for email and password but nowhere to create a new account.

### 1/5 — Not too good

*2023-10-11, version 1.0*

Can’t use it. It doesn’t allow creation of an account therefore what’s the use?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t log in even with a paid subscription

*2026-02-07*

The app is fantastic when it works but I paid $40 for an annual subscription but can’t log in to my account. When I log in I get a notice that says “no premium subscription” and it won’t log in. It’s infuriating. I tried emailing the app designer but get no response.

### 1/5 — Extremely Poor App Design. Most Annoyance I have ever experienced in my entire life

*2025-09-13, version 1.2*

One of the most annoying apps for the sole reason that it is so difficult to navigate. You can only navigate the map with a subscription, but it is so difficult to log in because it keeps glitching out, then once you get past that you cant even get a subscription in the app you need to do it online. This is such a waste of time I rather anything else than to ever open this application again. Fix the App or your people will Revolutionize!

### 1/5 — Unable to sign in with Google

*2025-08-30, version 1.2*

Can’t sign in using Google sign in option. Would be nice to have an option to skip sign in and continue as guest similar to the website.

### 1/5 — Can't use without logging in..

*2025-08-22, version 1.2*

Can use without logging in and entering your email into marketing emails.

### 1/5 — Dev gave up, apparently

*2025-05-13, version 1.2*

Why not pass the torch to someone who cares?

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2025-02-05, version 1.2*

Paid annual subscription and couldn’t log into the app :(

### 1/5 — Unless you pay for premium the app doesn’t work.

*2025-01-13, version 1.2*

It seems that in order to go past a premium sale page you have to buy premium, you can’t access free on the app

### 1/5 — minimal value, gross errors

*2024-12-03, version 1.2*

If all you want is the distance between cities for flights then this app is good. Beyond that it’s really bad and misleading. It presented four airlines with direct flights from Helsinki to Toronto and passed me to Kayak for prices. Fair enough and I like Kayak but there were NO direct flights. Needless to say FlightConnections’ information is very suspect .

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-09-04, version 1.2*

You can’t use the app until you log in with google or create an account on the website. Neither option worked

### 1/5 — Doesn't even lauch

*2024-07-22, version 1.2*

I have downloaded the app teice. It does not launch. The idea is great a ‘real’ company with a real app can make a killing.

### 5/5 — Five star customer service

*2026-02-04, version 1.2*

Title says it all, my issue was addressed promptly and effectively - I greatly appreciate it

### 5/5 — Great app for frequently travels

*2024-05-14, version 1.0*

I was happy with the app while traveling frequently, being a paid subscriber for two years. However, it charged me again without prior notice when I no longer needed to travel or use the app. Email support was unresponsive regarding a refund, but I managed to resolve it through a phone call and confirmed the refund. I hope to return as a paid user once my travel activity increases again.

### 5/5 — App works fine if subscribed

*2023-04-30, version 1.0*

Just pay the subscription fee and enjoy this excellent app.

Educational and very useful.

### 5/5 — Makes international travel so easy

*2022-05-03, version 1.0*

Planning a trip abroad to a more remote place? This is the go-to app/site. Instead of having multiple tabs open at one time, you can figure out your path BEFORE you go through the headache of searching every website or getting overwhelmed by Google Flights.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2021-01-31, version 1.0*

People say that this app doesn’t work so I was scared to pay FlightConnections but when I bought it. It worked! Perfect!

### 5/5 — Comprehensive flight routes

*2020-02-23, version 1.0*

Fast and intuitive

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-12-26, version 1.0*

Love the website and now very pleased with the app. Lots of fun and very informative for any travel enthusiast.

### 4/5 — Can’t log in even with a paid subscription

*2026-02-12, version 1.2*

The app is fantastic when it works but I paid $40 for an annual subscription but can’t log in to my account. When I log in I get a notice that says “no premium subscription” and it won’t log in. It’s infuriating. I tried emailing the app designer but get no response.

****UPDATE**** 
After a few more days I did hear back from the developer and they fixed my login issue and I am once again able to access the app.

### 4/5 — Not updated quickly enough / pay system inadequate

*2023-09-25, version 1.0*

Updates - I’m on iOS 17.0.1 and it won’t open then crashes. 

Payment system is awkward and uses a strange third party. I had to write to them to pay - bring that in house and accept cc’s please : )

Otherwise - it’s a unique app and Infind it very useful. 

More filters would be nice.

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2023-09-10, version 1.0*

Some bugs got fixed... useful tool, some connections are missing from small airlines, example : JetSmart in Argentina
