Really nice app.
It's not immediately obvious to me what the agony ranking is for though, and there's no help menu?
(Obviously it's ranking flights from least agony-inducing to most, but what's the metric?)
- unwind 16y agoThis image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crankyflier/4929727281/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/crankyflier/4929727281/ shows a tooltip that describes it as "A combination of price, duration, and number of stops" which sounds about right for a flight's agony-factor.
- BCM43 16y agoI don't have an iphone, so forgive me, but how does a tooltip work on the iphone?
- shimon 16y agoTooltips are not typically seen in iPhone apps. The screenshot was from the hipmunk web application. Perhaps hipmunk assumes that anyone using their iPhone app is already familiar with the web app and shouldn't be treated as a novice user. Or perhaps they have so much confidence that their agony ranking is what you want that they don't feel compelled to explain it. ;)
- benologist 16y agoAgony is when you get stuck for 14 hours in a stopover on a journey with 4 legs instead of no or 1 stopover. I had 9 hours in Taipei once and couldn't leave the airport. So insanely boring.
