I would really appreciate it if the notifications also listed the date of the trip. "Prices for your tracked flight to Paris have changed" is not helpful when I have 5 specific date ranges tracked! If the dates showed up along with the notification I would probably open the app to look more often. I travel to certain places very often and have multiple flights to the same places tracked because of this.
Hoppers customer service is horrible! The only contact is through chat! It's very slow and inconvenient! If there are any issues with your flight they don't offer any help they advised me to talk to airline! So what's the point of using hopper? My flight was delayed two hours and would miss my connecting flight to London. The next day..... sorry no refund !! Only use it for updates on prices! Trust me!! If not read the other reviews
It asked me to wait when the flight ticket was $450 in August, it said price will drop to $373 so I waited. In October it asked me to buy it now when the ticket went up to $626, and said that price was the lowest price. I could have saved $$$ when it was $450. This app isn't reliable.
This app's prediction is horrible.
I deleted the app after 3 wong prediction it made consecutively. I lost $300 because of this app. Completely trash. I don't know where it raked up such high reviews.
How can you name an app that tells you to wait when tickets are at $365, and then it tells you to buy when the same tickets are at $599?? Worst app ever!!!
The app is great and provides you with the best opportunity to buy tickets however I leave for Japan in a couple of days and have been waiting on customer service to get back with me for almost 49 hours. You can't call them you have to go through their chat and if you email them they tel you that you should get a reply in your chat within 24 hours. That isn't the case. Japan airlines can't find my name on any flights and Hopper customer service is AWOL!
Thanks to Hopper, I've been able to afford to take two international trips this year. I put in my dates in advance and let Hopper do all the work, finding me the best rates. Not just the best rates - unbelievable rates!! I called Hopper's customer service to ask a question and the incredibly helpful and friendly agent I spoke to even said "wow - that's a great price!". I've recommended Hopper to at least a dozen or more friends!
Please help I've always loved and used hopper and now every time i open it, the screen turns black and it crashes.
I love hopper! The notifications are a little weird, I tap on them and they disappear, but it is my go to when trying to find a trip!
why would y'all charge $5 tip at the end of payment when customers are ready to book
This app is terrible!! My girlfriend and I have been planning a trip to Hawaii for months now. After hearing great things about this app, I decided to give it a shot, when I put the flight information into the app, the current price was in the low $400 range, but the app said to wait, saying that the prices would go into the low $300 range. So I decided to wait on buying tickets, every week or so I would check in and it kept saying to wait, however the prices were getting more and more expensive. Finally this past week the app said to get tickets as the prices were only going to go up, however, by this point the cost was over $500, not once did the price ever go down. Terrible app, I'm never using it again and I suggest you don't either!
Purchased flight protection insurance for $19.50, Enhanced Plus Travel Protection Trip Insurance. Tried to change flight by one day on JetBlue, but they don't know about insurance and will charge $100. Tried to change on Hopper and it doesn't work, no option to change. Customer support sent me to AON Travel claims. He had no clue but eventually said it only works if you're hospitalized and can't travel. He promised to email policy. It never came and Hopper never responded either.
Avoid at all cost!
Hopper tells me when to wait on a price or buy now. Very good feature.
I booked a flight couple hours later within the 24 hours of cancellation trying to access to my trip and chance it, but I can't get in contact with costume support of Hopper; the airline said the purchase was generated with a different card, so if they cancel the flight the money will not come back to me.
Why is this process so complicated?
Very cheap ticket I will keep buying my tickets from Hooper
After being tired of all the searching for cheaper flights, it does it all for me. But way better than I could ever.
I'm a big hopper fan and use only them for flights and hotels now. I had a concern, they personally addressed it and showed me that there is roomIn the Internet age to have personalized customer service.
I booked a flight and two days later my boyfriend found the same flights at the same price and was able to pick his seat immediately. With hoppers suggested tip, I actually spent more than my boyfriend for the same trip. Good for tracking, I would not suggest for booking.
Numerous of times I've reviewed this site and never a real where I'm going
I'm very disappointed on how they change the flights I book to a later time that makes me miss out on time at my travelled locations.
I do not believe I will ever use or recommend hopper to anyone.
