Ratings and reviews

The platform is quick and easy to use however where it becomes very difficult is the indicated values for "flights from..." shown with each date. These never exist in reality and are usually in fact way off. As cost is the method most of us want to search by it makes it very frustrating and difficult due to the vast difference between what the app shows and is then available when you view tickets for each date. This makes the benefit of the apps date overviews essentially useless

We booked the flight ticket through HappyFares, assuming that Skyscanner had done the due diligence. We received the tickets (PNR: YJQ8SH; SG-430) with correct passengers’ details. When we reached the airport there was a mistake in my name (total 3 from my family). Due to the name difference, I did not get the boarding pass while two of my family members took the boarding pass. I was told by the agent to book the ticket and they would refund it. However, we are not even getting reply on email.

I'm no longer receiving updates, defeating the purpose of my use for this app. I have had to manually check the app multiple times as I'm suddenly not receiving notifications anymore. I've checked the settings, my phone has all notifications enabled and the option is ticked inside the app. The tickets for my trip have gone up or down with no updates. Considering just deleting the app and manually checking the provider directly since it would be more reliable.
