Product description

With Hipmunk you'll see all the relevant flights on a timeline, helping you visualize the right choice. Unlike every other app out there, Hipmunk doesn't just show you the cheapest flight first — the app instead sorts by "agony," which incorporates important factors like how long you'll be traveling and how many stops you'll make. Hotel results are shown on a map so that you can see exactly where you'll be staying. You can also turn on heatmaps that will show you the best areas to stay based on unique interests like food, landmarks, nightlife and more. Hipmunk also makes booking easy. When you've found the right flight, you can either book it on your phone, email it to someone else, or finish on your desktop computer.

    Hipmunk is the best travel app that I have found in years. It is easy to use, provides graphic information, is almost fun. The agony feature is worth the price of admission alone. This app has worked perfectly on my kindle fire from the start. This is an excellent tool if you want to compare different airlines at a glance. The price alone (free) makes is worth a try.

    Doesn't work on my 8.9. I asked the Hipmunk guys and they said:

    "@Michael_Stirrat Seems that we don't actively support that platform, so it explains any issues you were having!"

    I think Amazon should pull this from the appstore. Luckily Kayak's app works just fine. Shame, because Hipmunk's Android app is pretty good.

    While easy to use, the app did not not find the best deal. Compared to the hotel's website their room was $30 lower. I check it out again, but it isn't promising.

    Why it took so long for this app to be thought of is anyone's guess. One look at the search results and you can instantly get more useful information graphically then you could ever get from page after page of written words. Add a little 'agony' (their term) and save a few bucks in the process! The hotel function works much the same way - too cool! Web site is equally as good!

    nichts weiter zuzufügen, die App ist einfach Jahre hinter der Konkurrenz her und außerdem schwer auf Tablet zu bedienen. Nicht zu empfehlen
