I know I can do the same things (and much more) on the website, but I do 95% of this from my phone and the website just isn’t particularly great for that. It was obvious this app hadn’t had a major update in years, but it was so handy and the info could change my travel day from an uncomfortable one to a breeze. I sure hope they release a new working one. I’ve paused my membership until then, however my hopes aren’t terribly high. ### 1/5 — Unable to login via Facebook *2024-01-01, version 1.93.0* For the last month I’ve been unable to login via Facebook. When I try to create and account with my email directly it says I can’t as I’ve logged in via Facebook. But I can’t login via Facebook!!! ### 3/5 — Previously Great *2023-11-28* This was an app I relied on. As of today, it crashes three times before I can create an alert/perform a seat search. Then, no American Airlines set maps will show. Every single search yields “the request info cannot be retrieved at this time”. ### 2/5 — Desperately needs an update *2023-11-15, version 1.93.0* This app is great in concept, but so outdated. It hasn’t been sized up to modern iPhone screens and doesn’t include push notifications, which would be hugely useful given the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2023-09-21, version 1.93.0* App not updated and broke with iOS 17. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2023-09-20, version 1.93.0* I used it before without any problems but was logged out for some reason and now the login button doesn’t work (no action) so I can’t login again. Tried to delete and reinstall with no avail. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2023-09-20, version 1.93.0* For some reason it won’t let me log in any more just keeps saying unable to connect ### 1/5 — Suddenly lost the ability to log in… *2023-09-19, version 1.93.0* Can no longer log in. ### 1/5 — Testing it out and unfortunately a no go *2023-07-28* I wanted to set one alert after seeing this was a free tool on Geobreeze. Because I have 3 kids I have very specific days we can fly so the concept works for us. Setting my alert was not free. It would not allow me to pick seats by touching the screen so I had to agree to pay .99. Then it couldn’t access any of the cards in my wallet to complete the charge and wouldn’t allow me to add a card. Unfortunately, not a good experience and at .99 an alert I can just pay for a more expensive service and set tons of alerts. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-07-16, version 1.93.0* App crashes every time I attempt to open it ### 2/5 — Crashes a lot *2023-03-25, version 1.93.0* Since latest update, the App appears to crash a lot especially on start up. Needs a fix ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing after it loads *2023-03-17, version 1.93.0* App keeps crashing after it loads and there hasn’t been any new software updates. ### 1/5 — May be the worst iOS app I’ve ever had the misfortune of trying to use. *2023-03-03, version 1.93.0* Not even worth elaborating on. Clearly a case of Agile generating other half-baked, fragile, and tech-debt-ridden pile of spaghetti-code. Worthless. ### 2/5 — Conceptually good, app is terrible *2023-01-13, version 1.93.0* The functionality is good when you get it working, but let down by the app which is terrible. Hasn’t been updated in years for modern screen sizes. Super buggy and crashes most times you try do a search/set up an alert. Desktop version is fine but why pay the money when the main function you need being the app won’t work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Limited *2026-02-06, version 2.0.0* No Australian carriers or routes ### 1/5 — Clunky *2025-10-21, version 2.0.0* Charged $10 for an unusable product. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-06-29, version 1.96* My airline is not included. ### 1/5 — No longer working *2025-06-24, version 1.96* This app as of two days ago is no longer working. It now asks for a login but signing in, signing up and forgot password just gives an error which sends you in an endless loop. Will be finding an alternative. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-06-18, version 1.96* This app requires a log in to use & unless specified, they sell your information. Does not provide general seat information only seat alerts. ### 1/5 — Didn’t find flight *2025-05-18, version 1.96* Useless. On May 18, 2025 failed to find Philippines Airline flight. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all anymore *2025-04-14, version 1.96* This app and expertflyer have gone way downhill. App looks like it’s from the 90s and notifications never work. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-09-24, version 1.93.0* Used to be good…. Not anymore ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even sign up for an account. *2024-09-13, version 1.93.0* The Facebook login is not working and when I tried to create a manual account none of the fields are responsive or clickable. iPhone15, ios17.6.1 ### 1/5 — Unable to log in *2024-02-05, version 1.93.0* Facebook login no longer available and there is no option to login otherwise or to create a new account because the app is locked to the one device/account. Can’t even create a new account with a different email. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-06-16* No other app has this much information. It’s a bit old but still the information is amazing. ### 5/5 — I’m overjoyed that this is back *2025-04-04, version 1.96* The app was unavailable on the App Store for a while. When I upgraded to iPhone 16 from iPhone 6, I was so disappointed that I couldn’t download this. I had to use another web provider that only gives 5 free searches per month. But I’m thrilled this is now back, as it was always my go-to place to check seat availability. Thanks ExpertFlyer! ### 5/5 — Seat Alert got me upgraded! *2024-01-13, version 1.93.0* I find this to be an incredibly useful tool by ExpertFlyer! It literally was responsible for getting me upgraded from Economy to 1st Class (in lay flat beds on an 11 hour flight!) because it notified me the moment it came available, and I was able to go quickly rebook and upgrade! It also just today provided an alert for my wife’s flight and we immediately were able to get online and rework her seats! ### 5/5 — Working again. *2023-09-21, version 1.93.0* Working again. Good. Does what it should. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-11-24, version 1.93.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Got my window seat on a 90% full flight *2022-06-27* I’m always skeptical of these types of apps working but I’ve used this a couple of times. I got a push notification today for an alert and was able to get the seats I wanted for me and my partner. I don’t care what the app looks like as long as the functionality works. ### 5/5 — Godsend *2021-10-27, version 1.93.0* This app is a godsend for me as a 6’6’’ guy. Got hold of many an exit row seat this way. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2021-10-24, version 1.93.0* I’ve been using Expert Flyer for years, occasionally paying for it monthly. I’ve only just downloaded the app and am very pleased to see the option of paying £0.89 to create a saved search alert. Much better than a monthly payment! ### 5/5 — THANK YOU *2019-07-22, version 1.93.0* For saving me on a 6 hour flight and hooking me up with a window seat. Wish I’d found this app sooner. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-07-07* As a travel agent, this is one of the most useful apps. It makes me look like a rockstar when I can get the seats my client wants. It really works! It used to be available as a RedApp in Sabre and now it’s not, so it’s a little less convenient to use the app rather than making a request directly in Sabre. But it’s still very helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
