KAYAK: Flights, Hotels & Cars

I have been using this app for about a decade or as long as it's been out. probably. Up until recently, I always gotten the best deals on here for plane tickets and for cars. But lately it's been giving me random low prices that that do not exist on the vendor's page. for example, looking for a plane ticket to Europe. Once I click to go buy it on the airlines page, it's $1,000 more. Unfortunately this app has become just another scam. It's a true bummer.

It seems unnecessarily difficult to unsubscribe from price notifications about a trip: I already bought the tickets and adjusted app settings and clicked "unsubscribe" in three different emails, so I would hope it is clear that I don't want continuous reminders that I could have saved money on a purchase I already made. Next time I'll be sure to procrastinate. Deleting the app now. Valuable lessons abound...

this app used to be the best until a few weeks ago when it kept shutting down. Then today I got a message that it should be updated to fix a bug. After it updated it has changed completely to find airfares. Totally useless. I checked several times and every minute it keeps changing. It no longer goes directly to the list of fares; now you have to go through a few steps to get there, and when you do, your search gets changed from what you were originally looking for. Not good to find airfares!

It used to be really good, but recently it's just awful. They often direct you to book at shady sites, half the time the price they show isn't actually available when you try to book (just repeatedly keeps saying "Booking failed" and suggesting trying again, without ever actually updating the prices), it's incredibly slow, and arguably worst of all, doesn't show the best deals, even when Skyscanner or the airlines' own sites do.

The "explore" feature is useless and never gives you the correct price for what you want. Whenever you select one of the dates, the price will increase exponentially. The same thing happens if you select the "show me the best dates" feature. It says you can click non-stop as a filter, but when you do, it does not actually follow your filter instructions.
