However, the inability to leave reviews anymore means there’s no way to get or give feedback on the current state of the lounges, really post 2020, and for obvious reasons, a lot has changed since then. Not being able to leave reviews in the app also means I have no way to log which lounges I’ve visited, which really leaves something to be desired. Bringing back these interaction-based features would definitely bring the app back up to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Waste of time & Money. Will not refund for closed clubs. *2022-06-29, version 3.8.2* I have visited one of the clubs that was understaffed, didn’t have food, cocktails, or coffee and nobody to service. I requested a refund from LoungeBuddy as i didn’t receive my services for the $45 I paid them. This was their response per customer service. Please note that LoungeBuddy is a booking service for independent and airline-branded lounges around the world. We do not own or operate the lounge, and therefore do not manage the staff or the experience within the facilities. ​ Basically they aren’t liable and keep your money regardless of the experience. It’s pathetic. ### 4/5 — Great but missing ONE feature. *2022-06-24, version 3.8.2* I love this app to find lounges all over the world, it’s my go-to. The only thing that I would want enhanced (and I’m sure so many others) is to be able to zoom into photos. I have found myself many times taking a screenshot just to be able to zoom into a certain photo. Please fix this. Otherwise, I love this app! All lounge info all in one place!! Yes!! ### 1/5 — Major fall from grace *2022-01-16, version 3.8.0* Used to be one of my favorite apps, but it’s basically useless now. The UI is almost impossible to use, reviews are broken, there’s no quick way to look at what lounge options are available. No more TripIt integration is a major loss. It doesn’t seem like this app is being invested in either, the problems have apparently been there for years. A sad end to what was once a great app. ### 1/5 — This was an AmEx hit job… *2022-01-15, version 3.8.0* AmEx bought and wrecked this app. You used to see lounge rankings from “Basic” to “Luxe,” see what lounges cost to enter, have the function to import trips automatically, and also be able to add and delete trips manually. AmEx decided to “improve your user experience” by killing all these features, and so now it’s extremely buggy and a much worse app. Kind of like what they’re doing to their charge cards… ### 2/5 — Slowly gone downhill *2022-01-06, version 3.8.0* This app used to be great and my go-to. While it certainly provides some benefit, it's become way too buggy for me to recommend. For example, let's say I have a trip coming up with a layover. You can’t actually do that in LoungeBuddy because LoungeBuddy has had a bug for awhile now where you have to create a new trip for each segment of your journey. Similar bugs happen when trying to add access methods; the app just refuses to let you add them or just never updates your profile. ### 3/5 — This app is so broken now *2021-12-25, version 3.8.0* While this app was great while it worked, it is completely broken now and needs to be updated. I cannot delete nor edit any of my previously scheduled trips, and receive an error every time I attempt to. I have many trips coming up and I loved using this app to plan lounge access, but now I will have to wait until it hopefully gets fixed. Please fix this app! ### 2/5 — UX/UI has gotten worse *2021-12-19, version 3.8.0* I remember being able to lay out my whole itinerary without any issue and being able to see the lounges I could and couldn’t enter. Now I can only add one segment as a “trip” instead of all the segments, which is inconvenient compared to previous versions. Also, it is far more prone to freezing than I ever remember. The info on the app is good, but what’s the use if the UX and UI of the app itself is bad. ### 5/5 — Great improvement *2021-06-06, version 3.7.0* Almost night and day. Now the app shows me some details not found before. Like whether a lounge is only a departure lounge. Clearer on access rules. Results presented more clearly. Process is a little slow when adding trips but end result is worth it. ### 3/5 — Ruined *2021-05-14, version 3.6.0* Update: problem seems to be fixed now ... you no longer need to make a trip to see if you have access. Still 3 star review for a probably better app because they put us thru this. Never written a review for an app before but this update has ruined the app completely. Having to create a trip to figure out what lounges I have access to is ridiculous. Old version was great and very helpful but now I won’t use it again. Real shame.. ## Frequently asked questions about LoungeBuddy Airport Lounges ### What does LoungeBuddy do? LoungeBuddy allows travelers to discover, view, book, and access airport lounges worldwide.
