### 3/5 — Great for booking fares, however

*2024-07-19, version 1.4*

Would love to see in planning 
A Wishlist section we could plan a proposed next big overseas trip, that HOT could view and supply information on our Wishlist.

As we’ll display all products available eg travel card to save money towards a fare for a big OE

### 2/5 — Hopeless

*2024-05-05, version 1.4*

Trying to add in events outside those booked with HOT impossible! Don’t even get the option on the website. Needs some serious work on the UI.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2023-11-13, version 1.4*

Not a great app. Very limited functionality, yet likely an essential app with a house of travel booking.

### 2/5 — One of the clunkiest apps I use

*2022-07-12, version 1.3.5*

This app, while being useful and almost essential when organising complex itineraries, is slow, clunky and frequently freezes or simply hangs up. It is a sad reflection on HOT, especially when compared to the high level of professionalism exhibited by the HOT executives. Please review and update/upgrade.

### 2/5 — Not Good

*2022-03-13, version 1.3.5*

Seriously guys I suggest you do some more in house testing on various scenarios in which people use this app. Especially for the first time. UI is terrible and hangs or has weird delays with modals. Select flights enter all of your details then want to book and then flights aren’t available so have to go through the whole process again. I shouldn’t have to keep entering y address on new searches as a new user since I bothered to create an account. Total subpar rookie app. Took my money elsewhere.

### 4/5 — Dino

*2018-02-10, version 1.2.14*

Very helpful, loved the fact that you can see an itinerary update which is very exciting! Has currency converter, maps and loads more features that I found helpful

### 4/5 — Great but here's a suggestion

*2016-07-23, version 1.2.3*

Really good app...makes searching and booking a holiday really easy.  The only frustrating part is when viewing a deal, not being able to go 'back' to look at another. I have to go back through the Deals option then re-navigate to the destination. Other than that, a good app.

### 1/5 — HOT App Frustration

*2015-12-25, version 1.1.2*

Let's be honest now I come from an IT background.
We first used this App two years ago and reported issues to HOT via our Consultant and App support to be helpful with a struggling product.
This is our third big trip in 18 months through HOT and we would say both the app and HOT Support of the App are very poor.
If it was associated with a brand of mine I would delete it immediately until accurate.
If it is not reliable why would you promote it?
If it is only accurate 75 percent why risk it?
All other dealings with HOT have been first class.
Why spoil the ship for this incomplete,unreliable piece of code that after years can't get right?
PS ,after I pointed out the Apps inaccuracy over some issues recently the Help Desk replied to me that the problem was with iPhones only.
Hello !!! I assume that iPhones have a good share of the mobile device market world wide/get it right or get rid of it!

### 2/5 — Slow and frustrating

*2015-10-28, version 1.1.2*

While in the app it is slow which makes it frustrating to use as you tend to click on options you didn't mean too

### 2/5 — Crashes frequently

*2015-08-31, version 1.1.2*

Two stars for such a great concept and ease of navigation but this app crashes a lot when you go to expand the itinerary  :( please fix the bugs.

### 1/5 — Won't load

*2014-09-15, version 1.1.1*

Can't get it to load onto my phone. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Painful

*2014-07-31, version 1.1.1*

Agree with most that it will not load

### 4/5 — Great

*2014-07-21, version 1.1.1*

I really loved having this app. I couldn't log in at first so rang agent and they needed to "release" the itinery i had no prob after that. Good app to add to excitement of holidays

### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible App

*2026-06-06, version 2.1.6*

I’ll get straight to the point: your app is a mess, and it’s actively making travel harder instead of easier.
Here’s what’s wrong:
	1.	It crashes constantly. I’ve lost bookings mid-checkout multiple times. That’s not a minor inconvenience — that’s a trust problem.
	2.	The design is unintuitive. Finding basic information like itinerary details or cancellation policies requires digging through layers of menus that make no sense. Other travel apps solved this years ago.
	3.	Key features are missing or broken. [e.g., offline access, real-time flight updates, easy rebooking] — these aren’t nice-to-haves, they’re table stakes for a travel app in 2026.
I want to keep using your service, but the app makes that genuinely difficult. This needs serious attention from your product and engineering teams — not a cosmetic refresh.
Fix it.

### 1/5 — Absolutely hopeless app

*2025-09-06, version 2.1.2*

Half way through our travels this app does an update requiring a log in with a new password. Do this and try to retrieve our travel plans and cannot do so. Contact House of Travel on the contact link and nothing!
Lucky we have a printed copy of our plans so the only thing lost was the convenience of the app on our phones. If I could give less than one star I would have done so.

### 1/5 — Not even recommended by HoT staff

*2025-02-19, version 1.5.1*

The app pulled across incorrect booking details for our flights. Our travel agent suggested that we just do not use the app.

### 1/5 — House of Travel

*2024-09-11, version 1.5.1*

More like House of Travail. App doesn’t work. Says it will send an activation email. That email doesn’t arrive. I delete app. Reload. You already have account. Lost your password? Yes. Enter email address here. Entered. No email. Attempt to register again. You already have account. You already told me that. Rinse, repeat.

### 1/5 — Won’t show itinerary- waste of time

*2022-09-08, version 1.3.5*

Won’t connect bookings to app. Waste of time. Poor app.

### 1/5 — Now you see it now you don’t

*2021-05-30, version 1.3.4*

The app keeps on closing. When I open it back up I only get to view for a few seconds then it closes again

### 1/5 — Glitches constantly

*2021-03-17, version 1.3.4*

Keeps logging me out every time I go to look at my itinerary. Can only look at it for a few seconds before I am back on my Home Screen. Very annoying

### 1/5 — HOT App

*2021-01-11, version 1.3.4*

The app stays on the screen for about one minute then disappears. Unusable.

### 1/5 — worthless (zero stars).

*2020-01-08, version 1.3.3*

it can't add my flights.  oops, something went wrong.  error!  and so on.  it doesn't appear to like ipads nor iphones, and it usually takes a few tries to get logged in.  it just doesn't work for me.  it seems to work for a few others (reviews), but i can't get my copy to do the job.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-11-30, version 1.3.3*

Was using a iPhone 8. Difficult to manoeuvre. Frustrating to say the least. Why even have this app HOT?
