### 1/5 — Never works

*2023-04-18*

If your employer pays for this have a chat with the Finance team and show them the reviews for this because it’s a waste of money

### 1/5 — Almost never works

*2021-09-20*

I've successfully connected using this app on united and delta maybe once out of every 10 flights.

### 1/5 — A lot of running in the background

*2021-01-15*

Haven’t opened the app in the last 2 weeks, yet it’s one of the apps that consumed the most battery. Always doing work in the background. Unsure what data the app is collecting and what for it’s doing it

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2019-08-28, version 3.22.2*

Don't waste your time

### 1/5 — Messes with other Wi-Fi connections

*2019-07-25*

Works fine with delta Wi-Fi but seems to mess up any sort of Wi-Fi that has a page you have to load to login like hotel WiFi’s or airport wifis. Basically I have to delete the after my flight and restart my phone to get it back to normal then I re download the app before my flight super annoying.

### 1/5 — Nothing for Nothing

*2019-07-08*

This app connects you to WiFi’s that are already free! This is useless in finding anything “hidden” . Good thing it was free. Or else I would have demanded a refund!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2019-04-06*

I bought this since I’m with the airlines. It hasn’t worked since the very beginning and I’ve written to them about a refund and have never back. Honestly, I think it’s a scam!!

### 3/5 — When it does, it does

*2019-04-02*

Well when it works it works, and when it doesn't, it definitely doesn't 

I wish it had a better way of knowing which Hotspots it definitely can connect to instead of trying every one it finds

### 1/5 — Apps doesn’t work

*2019-03-08*

The app doesn’t work more than it does.  Shows that it’s trying to connect but then after a few moments and errors appears that a connection can’t be made.

### 1/5 — Is this app still supported? Never connects

*2019-02-02*

I haven't successfully connected using the app in well over a year. Is this app even still supported? I'm not sure why I haven't deleted it before now.
