### 2/5 — Not worth the Premium membership

*2026-08-08*

I used this app a couple years ago and paid for the membership. I cancelled it since in that year I never booked a flight. However I did check out the website from time to time. I decided to give it one more chance & did the free trial but forgot to cancel. I now have the Premium Membership. But beware, the Premium doesn’t give you anything more than just checking on the website. Premium is definitely a scam. The Elite membership is what you have to get if you want the real deals. So don’t waste your time or money on Premium. $49 down the drain!

### 2/5 — Always freezes up

*2026-07-27, version 4.18.0*

Would be great, but it freezes up all the time and you have to close it completely and reopen it

### 2/5 — Very limited

*2026-07-26, version 4.18.0*

I wish I knew the list of airports that Going finds deals for. I’ve had the subscription for half a year now and have not seen a single deal to any of the several airports I fly to.

### 2/5 — Limited destinations

*2026-06-21, version 4.16.2*

The deals seem to repeat to a few destinations. This app makes sense if you are flexible on both the destination and time. I wish I knew that places I travel to never see any deals.

### 3/5 — Painful App + website response times

*2026-05-06*

When I get an alert and click on the notice to open the app, the vast majority of the time it just sits in loading mode. I thought perhaps it was just the app getting hit by too many people at once, but the website had the same laggy response. Performance needs improvement or it is not worth paying for a heads up about quickly-sold out fares when you can’t see the notices until it’s too late.

**Developer response:** This one stings because you're right about the stakes: a deal alert you can't open in time isn't worth much. Slowness on both app and web at the same moment usually points to load on our end when a big deal goes out, and our engineering team tracks these spikes. Email support@going.com with roughly when it happens and we'll pass the details along. Speed is the whole point of an alert, and we want it to hold up.

### 2/5 — Stop Ad Spamming Me!

*2026-05-05, version 4.13.0*

I really like this app. So much so I signed up for the elite membership (but not the auto renewal). Six months into my annual membership, I start to get pop ups every time I open the app to renew my membership. I paid for the service and I have to deal with these intrusive pop ups every ads for the remainder of the membership for 6 months!! Does not give me a good impression of this company anymore

### 2/5 — Nothing special

*2026-04-11, version 4.11.2*

Many deals are just basic economy. After correcting for necessities like a carry on, they stop being special. A lot of time wasted on browsing to see what’s a real deal.

### 4/5 — Preview snippets need to GO

*2026-03-24*

I have been using this app for a year or two. I’ve found a few stellar deals but I hate that i am getting many emails from them with preview snippets that don’t exist when I open the email. It feels deceitful. I am paying for the app because I want the deals, I don’t need more incentive to open an email. IE “the best part of the Virgin Islands is not having to sear. . .” And then I open the email and there is no finished sentence. Feels like click bait.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback, I have ensured that this feedback has been shared with the team and copywriters to see what we can do to improve this experience for you. We aim to keep our content engaged (and completed) so I'll see if we can't adjust how some of these are created and shared out. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how to improve!

### 2/5 — Not useful

*2026-03-19, version 4.10.1*

I could not find any useful information that is not already easily available on the internet. It is a waste of time and money to buy this app.

### 3/5 — Needs an expensive subscription to book

*2026-03-17, version 4.10.1*

Immediately ask you to create an account. Then show you a paid subscription is needed to book anything, where there are so many free flight finders out there.

### 2/5 — Great for cheap economy flying

*2026-03-16*

Going is made for those people who are looking to go somewhere for as cheap as possible. If you are interested in business class or especially first class this is not the app for you. There are some features that accommodate first class but not if you have any preferences like a time frame you’re looking to depart. You also can’t let the app look for flights for you if you’re looking to fly first class. But if you don’t care what time your flights are or want any perks then it will work great for you! I paid for elite and then found out the app couldn’t do anything I was looking for in booking a first class flight. I contacted the company but couldn’t get a refund.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback- you're right that we can add even more value to our Elite memberships, and would love you to stay around and see all the improvements! That said, we can offer refunds if within 30 days, unless you purchased through the App Store. In that case, Apple controls all refunds, and you can contact them - our support team sent you a link on how to contact them, and they should be able to assist with any eligible refunds.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-03-08, version 4.9.4*

Charge you a monthly subscription fee and only show deals out of major airports. Stick with Priceline/kayak/kiwi. There are multiple FREE search engines with similar deals. This is just another app scam with a monthly fee. Save your money for your trip and not some silly app.

### 1/5 — RIP Scott’s Cheap Flights

*2026-08-13, version 4.19.2*

This used to be a cool/fun email service where you’d get notified of mistake airfares back when it was Scott’s Cheap Flights. My wife and I used to find some seriously amazing deals on international flights. Since the rebrand to Going everything they offer is a subscription/hides behind a paywall. It’s such a shame to see what used to be such a cool service reduced to what it is today.

### 1/5 — App not functional

*2026-08-07, version 4.19.1*

downloaded to compare to Expedia; App is so broken that it won't even allow me to search before logging me out. I guess Expedia it is.

### 1/5 — All Upgrade to Premium

*2026-06-09, version 4.16.1*

Nothing functions. Only a message that says “upgrade to premium” when I try any function on the app. I paid for the upgrade but it didn’t ever start. It was far better a year ago.

### 1/5 — Fraud!

*2026-06-08, version 4.16.1*

It’s a great source to find tickets, but do not sign up for payed membership unless you intend to use them for your life time!!! There is literally no way to cancel your membership! They will not cancel, they will not return your e-mails or phone calls. I will have to replace a credit card ((

### 1/5 — Complete rip off

*2026-06-08, version 4.16.1*

Huge waste of money and way too expensive for what it is. You can. Find better deals on free sites and by setting google notifications

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2026-05-17, version 4.14.1*

Can’t even enter dates using a phone, page overflows screen. And also the only way to book the flight with the deal is to log into an Alaska Airlines account and use points, I don’t have either of those so the deal doesn’t even apply, why on earth should I use the app? Stupid.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2026-04-29, version 4.12.0*

Several things came up so I subscribed paying the $49. After I’ve subscribed it gave me a fare for a month I can’t travel even though I put my travel month in the query and it just sent me to Google. Google is free to look up. Their flights kayak is also free and there are way more options.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-04-16, version 4.12.0*

What is the point of paying for a premium membership to get alerts for mistake fares when you can’t even look at the mistake flight? Every. Single. Time. the app either crashes, doesn’t load, or spits you out to the world map if you try and click on a mistake fare notification. Why pay for something that doesn’t work? You’re better off setting price alerts on Google Flights. And they just copy paste responses to any AppStore review that doesn’t give them five stars.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been working for almost two weeks now.

*2026-03-21, version 4.10.1*

Is usually an excellent app , however for some reason , when I try to use it just shows a “ something went wrong “ that never happened before and is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not Helpful

*2026-03-14, version 4.10.0*

I am planning a trip and I saw that this app offers lower rates… NOT only gave me one rate and it was almost $500 I found cheaper just going online. And when it said “click for more options” it brought me to Priceline on safari. Like what’s the point of having the app then???

### 5/5 — ITS REAL YALL

*2026-08-24*

okay me and some friends were just trying to find any deals on three tickets to hawaii to visit our friend. 700+ dollars and everyday the price the rising. i tried expedia, the airport, google flights; they were uselsss. i get an instagram ad for this app and i think well this could be good.

i live in a medium deals area so its not a lot and i didnt see the trip i wanted. bummer. you can type where you are trying to go and they’ll let you know if they find something.

two hours later, i get a notification… they found a deal. WE SAVED OVER $200 EACH WITH ITS DEAL!! I’m amazed. I love traveling so I’m definitely going to keep this app around. the money i saved pays for the app itself!

### 5/5 — G.O.A.T

*2026-07-27, version 4.18.0*

This is hands down the greatest travel app of all time!!! This app has saved me thousands!!! The yearly subscription was paid back with my first flight deal.

### 5/5 — Great travel advice

*2026-05-28*

I have used this app for a couple years and have booked some really good flights and then some of them also flights plus all inclusive and I really enjoy it because as long as you get to it as quick as you can then it’s one of the best things I’ve ever used

**Developer response:** This is exactly how the deals work best: move quick when a fare lands. Glad Going has earned a spot in your travel planning for a couple years running, and here's to the next trip.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-12, version 4.14.0*

I love this app!! Been a member of this company since 2016, before the name change and once they dropped the app, it’s been an even better investment and asset for me. Thanks Going!

### 5/5 — app

*2026-05-10, version 4.14.0*

they won’t let me post a bad review, what a trash app that makes it so hard for you to be able to apply discounts

### 5/5 — Psychotherapist

*2026-04-16, version 4.12.0*

Love this app and all the deals

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-03-29, version 4.10.1*

It is an amazing app, the layout is so amazing and I love looking through and being able to see the price and a picture. Found some great deals to!! The membership is kinda expensive unfortunately but over all a great app.

### 5/5 — Quality Deals!

*2026-03-26, version 4.10.1*

The amount of deals that I find here daily are great! I’m a big credit card churner so this app makes it easy to find ways to use my points without ever stressing about the logistics of how to do it!

### 5/5 — Love Going!

*2026-02-24, version 4.9.1*

This app saves me so much money traveling every year!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-02-19, version 4.9.0*
