Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure who updates the info for each airport to the app but recently flying out of Orlando (MCO) the time shown on the app was very inaccurate. It was more than double the time posted. Thankfully I gave myself some extra time after a horrible experience going through TSA there last year, which caused for a missed flight. All I can say is, Orlando, you're TSA check is absolutely horrendous. You really need to get it together and make your lines run better than what you've got.

Medeocre at best. I was getting too many notifications and always after i would need them most. That is, I had already checked through security when I got the notice of how long it would take. Also, when opening the app, it always took me to a screen full of ads and information unrelated to my flight that day. Too bad the app could not use GPS to figure out I was already in the airport. All in all, I see no real benefit to keeping this app on my phone.

This app save us significant time in Newark after our plane from Barcelona arrived late. By using the app, we made our flight back to LA just as they closed the doors and before they signed off. They were able to board us and we avoided being stuck in the post storm back up at Newark. Sometimes saving even a little time in line, in this case aout 15-20 minutes, makes a big difference. I will continue to use the app.
