### 1/5 — Failed to login

*2026-05-16, version 1.4.0*

I set up a account it doesn’t work. Waste of time and money. 
Doesn’t work for Xbox

### 1/5 — Shouldn’t be allowed on the App Store

*2026-05-11*

You can’t even login to this app without a subscription despite it being free in a web browser.

### 1/5 — APP DOES NOT LET U SIGN UP!!

*2026-04-12, version 1.4.0*

Created a account and tried to enter info and was met with a wrong username or password a million times I had my password in passwords saved alr and it didn’t let me use it

### 1/5 — Worlds worst thing

*2026-04-08, version 1.4.0*

I cant log in to my account on pc or phone Volanta

### 1/5 — You can’t F ing sign it

*2026-03-14, version 1.4.0*

You can’t sign in I even made a new account triple checked the passwords matched but STILL it says it’s wrong

### 1/5 — One of the worst apps I’ve ever used

*2026-02-02*

I wouldn’t even bother trying to use this. It is extremely laggy/buggy and lacks basic functionality. The app has been stuck on a flight I’ve completed over 6 months ago, and I can’t even find a way to sign out without having to uninstall the app. It’s shameful.

### 1/5 — Fix your app

*2026-01-25*

I’ve been using the desktop version for the longest time and when I go log into the app it won’t let you in without a premium subscription??!! That’s insane but anyways I’ll keep using the desktop version until it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2026-01-22, version 1.3.0*

It is not good you have to pay to do it and it is not making a account

### 1/5 — Only Premium

*2026-01-08, version 1.3.0*

Absolutely useless. It’s only available to premium users

### 1/5 — App is against Apple Store Policies

*2025-12-28*

The app provides no meaningful functionality without a paid Premium subscription.
Upon installation and launch, users are presented only with a login screen.
Without an active Premium subscription, users cannot access any features, content, or core functionality of the app.

This effectively makes the app unusable in its free state and does not offer any trial, preview, or limited functionality prior to purchase.

This appears to conflict with App Store Review Guideline 3.1.2(a), which requires that apps using subscriptions provide value to users beyond a mandatory paywall, and Guideline 2.3.1, which requires that app functionality be accurately represented.

Users may be misled into downloading the app without being informed that it cannot be used at all unless they first purchase a subscription.
