### 4/5 — Great App!

*2026-04-28*

I really struggle to get places on time and regularly have anxiety about time, especially when traveling. This app is super helpful and gives me some peace of mind. I have some feedback about some additions that would make it a 5/5 stars for me but when I sent in my feedback, the developers were curious and asked me lots of clarifying questions which I really appreciated.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-04-20*

With the TSA and government shutdowns flight times can vary city by city. This was really helpful in getting me to the airport just on time and not too early or late. I had enough time to not rush, Precheck TSA line had like 10 people in line which was great! Regular TSA line was at least a 20-40 minute wait. I had plenty of time to catch over music, order a coffee, and relax by my gate! Awesome!!
