Hopper: Flights, Hotels & Cars Reviews

Terrible

Slight frustrated

Customer service is the worst spending a lot of time on the phone to try to resolve an issue that's a problem with their app and they couldn't give me any answers if I could give it no stars I would. all I was asking for Was to get a validation code so I could sign up to purchase some airline tickets. The customer service could not do that and I talk to someone in the tech-support would only said to take screenshots of the error message I was receiving.

Useful to search but not predicting

var.2078

App searches current prices, but fails on predictions for future international flights. I tried over the course of six months and every time it told me to wait for better prices. Almost all the “watched” trips increased 40-45% to the departure date. If I had listed it would had certainly cost me much more.

Better, still a couple shortcomings

Have booked many flights through the app; the actual booking process is a dream compared to direct through the airlines. The ‘flexible’ option is a welcome (and long-overdue) enhancement, but still needs to be more flexible—in particular, I may be interested *only* in evening or morning flights in the end date of my trip, if I’m trying to avoid taking time off work. EDIT: Just took a closer look at the ‘flexible’ option and it has a loooong way to go. The shortest option you can choose is “weekends” but this gives me all results for 4-day trips like Tues-Sat. Do you understand what a WEEKEND is, Hopper? Also, let me blacklist specific airlines I don’t want to fly with! Lastly, PLEASE respect my locale settings—it’s very confusing trying to book travel when my iOS calendar starts on Monday but yours always starts in Sunday.

App well done

Hopper is great. I like to scour for deals. I don't care where I fly or when, but there are a few trips I want to take I'd the price is right. Hopper has a feature that allows for notifications without entering a date AND without entering a specific city (just a region, like "Malaysia"). What a thoughtful design!! The only feature I wish it had was a filter to exclude certain airlines. For example, I won't fly a particular airline to Bali, no matter the cost, because it's well known for damaged aircraft, capricious departure times, and stranding passengers in dangerous places without help. Just WAY too dangerous for a single woman to travel on. Of course, this airline has GREAT prices. I wish I could remove them from my search so they wouldn't trigger a great-price alert. I'm sure I'm not alone that there are airlines some won't take, or airlines some will only take.

Best flight deals ever!

Hopper watches the costs of flights for your trip. It found me a flight for $100 less than what I would usually pay and I didn't have to lift a finger. All you do is select the destination, then the dates, and hopper will push a notification to your device when it finds a cheap flight! Update: lost 2 stars for two reasons. First reason is that I'm probably going to end up paying more because I refuse to fly spirit and that's what hopper is basing the fare off of. Second lost star is because there is no way to exclude certain airlines from the watch list.

Hooper is my Go-To Flight App

I love Hooper! Especially, the notifications on the prices of flights that I chose plus the feature that tells me the chances of certain days being more or less expensive! I like being able to shop all airlines also! Hooper, I’m a fan and happy customer.

Hopper is Awesome

Seriously such a helpful and useful app. Saved me money on flights and has helped me plan my trips better. Definitely would recommend if you like to and do travel with the desire to spend less getting there and more money there.

Waste of time - totally useless

This app does NOT notify you when the fares go lower though you set up the alert notification. My flight to Europe increased from 976 to 1575$ and no notification came in. When I went to stupid Hopper of course what it has to say after watching that rabbit running, is “wait”. Sure...? Save the space in your phone and do not use this crap. It’s a complete waste of time and energy. It does not keep an eye on the flights but you have to go on it and manually redo your flights search. So...why do you need an app to remind you to check the flights?

Kayak is way better

This app is very frustrating

Need to exclude certain Airlines

Cap'nPissGums

I will not fly certain airlines that have a less than stellar safety record but there is no way to exclude those airlines - for that reason the app loses a lot of functionality. If my cheapest flight is half the price of other airlines but it’s with an airline I will not fly then this app has lost a chunk of usability. Fix that and you’ll get another star.
