Hitlist

Hitlist is super smart - I subscribe to many of the flight deal mailing lists, but it’s exhausting to get so many deals when only some of them work for me - either out of my home airport or places I’m at all interested in visiting. Hitlist solves this perfectly! It also really nails the intersection of social and travel by encouraging me to ask my friends about all the cool places they’ve visited :$

Hitlist has proven to be a totally useless App and a “waste of time” as the advertised deals are never available! Photons are uselessly flying to find deals that have expired as soon as they had come in or probably were never there to begin with, and it is just a big trick to bring people on the App site to waste their time. I travel extensively for pleasure and am very flexible on my date and time for travels. I have been looking at Hitlist for more than two years but yet to find anything useful that I can buy. Most of the times the deals are either expired or the flights are so useless with the long and many connections rendering the deals really useless. Many times it is on the useless connections by Spirit and Frontier airlines that no one wants to fly as they charge for everything after you buy a ticket, resulting in to a useless deals. One is better off doing a regular google search for the flights and get much better deals. I will now be deleting the App as it is uselessly occupying real estate on my phone. Enough wasted time! Bye!

I downloaded this app 3 days ago because I was interested in the ability to filter deals to a specific set of airlines, which is something lacking in other apps. This is supposedly available in Hitlist as a premium option. However, every time I try to subscribe to the premium option, I get an error that it is unable to load products from the Apple Store. I tried using the in-app contact form to report the error, but have gotten no response. I then tried sending an email to the address provided in the app, and my email was bounced back from that address as having been flagged as spam. If the premium option is broken, and there is no support to even help a user be able to pay this company money, I’m doubtful of this company’s ability to provide a quality product in general.

I just signed up for their membership so I’ll have more to report on that in a month, but there free version is pretty good. The idea behind the app is great: Find cheap flights. Overall interface is nice. Flight deals take awhile to load though and more times then not I’m greeted with, “this deal no longer exits.” The main thing they need to focus on is Airline Preference. The app should automatically ONLY load my preferences. I have to click this every time. Hitlist could be a great app for helping people achieve medallion status with airlines.

I love the interface of this app and how in theory you can pick from curated lists for spontaneous getaways to places you might not have thought of. However, I have YET to find a deal on the home screen that hasn’t come back with a message saying “this deal is no longer available”. What’s the point if the advertised prices and flights don’t exist? Very disappointed that I haven’t been able to get further the homepage searching stage, let alone to the booking stage!
