### 1/5 — App no longer works. No support

*2023-08-26*

This was my absolute favorite travel app. All of my travel plans went into SAM. It was absolutely amazing to have everything for my travels in 1 place. Unfortunately the app stopped working. Reservations were no lnger added when forwarding to SAM via email and I was no longer able to add reservations. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I tried setting up a new account. Nothing worked. Their is no support. I would send messages using their app but got no response. No one is more upset with me. This was, hands down, my only travel app! It was that good. I have no idea what I will replace it with.

### 4/5 — Great for constant traveling

*2023-03-30*

App is really easy and convenient. Input any and all travel you have and consolidates it in one easy spot. Only hiccup is the placement of the buttons on the top right or left with an iphone 14 model. Difficult to press without pulling down the notification or command center, or will be straight up unresponsive. Love the app for all my traveling.

### 2/5 — Current issues with itinerary updates.

*2022-09-20, version 3.6.3*

App does not auto update new itineraries as of the past few months. I use this app for work but am now unable to rely on it.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-07-18, version 3.4.2*

Such a great app I have used it for about 2 years and when I travel it’s been a lifesaver. Up to the minute notifications for flight tracking and gives full arrival info when you walk off the plane. So good!

### 5/5 — Best Travel App Ive Used

*2020-06-07, version 3.4.1*

This is easily the most clear, organized, visually pretty and most importantly, helpful travel app I have tried.  Best of all its free, I have been recommending it to anyone who travels a lot.  I travel internationally about once a month to teach and this has made it SO much smoother.

### 2/5 — App issues

*2020-02-15, version 3.2.1*

The app is slow to announce gate changes and does not update calendar when flight is delayed

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-01-13, version 3.1.0*

Better than all the airline apps

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2019-12-12, version 3.0.4*

This app keeps me organized with all of my business trips. It’s like an assistant in my pocket.

### 3/5 — Getting glitchy now

*2019-11-05, version 3.0.1*

I have been using this app for years since it’s automatically populated by my company travel service.  Now in late 2019 I’m finding that when I open the app the page seems unresponsive.  “See Itinerary” button doesn’t work.  I’m using an up-to-date iPhone and updated App.  Hoping bugs are fixed soon.

### 4/5 — App works well, consultants are generally good.

*2019-10-15, version 3.0.0*

Consultants have always been very considerate. Thank you.
