MyTSA app good for
This app is truly great. It has really good info on what you can and cannot bring, relevant and good advice and provides info on waiting times at airport. Brilliant!
If we have to bear up under the illusion of security foisted on us by the gestapo TSA, why not tell each other what to expect at the airport today? This is actually a nice little tool to adjust your expectations when heading to the airport. The only real problem is that not that many people seem to used it so postings tend to be too old to be of much use. With a broader user base this could be quite helpful.
Glad to see travelers can post wait times longer than 30 minutes.
The what can i bring? Feature is very helpful. I wish the descriptions were a little more specific
Its a good attempt. Wish it had more information and was more useful though.
Starting as a crowd sourced resource about security line wait times, this App has grown in capability and usability. Now it has near-real time information on airport delays and On-Time Performance of each airport. It is more than just a list of prohibited carry-on items. If its been a while since you tried it, give it another try.
Zoom the Airport Status map. In addition to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Nome, there is status for Kotzebue, Alaska.
Some bad moments
App just crashes. Not worth your time to download even for free!
Not much useful information. User contributed delay info is outdated. No hours info for sec check. Tsa pre apply does not work with iOS. Junk app
Airport Status - Came up with Dulles as my default airport when at home in Gburg - should allow me to pick and remember my favorite option our of local - not intuitive how to select a default airport. Mine happens to be BWI. Finally found this option in the last menu item - should be first dialog when I first open the app to set.
Can I bring - had to figure out the keyword was carry-on to be able to get suggested dimensions - still not sure as it is airline dependent
Had a question about a minor ability to travel alone and what documentation they would need - not intuitive where to find this information on the travellers guide
Wait times section - not intuitive that this allows me to post wait times - why would I do this - can TSA tell me what it will use the data for?
Current Weather - again I want to tie to my preferred airport vs. the closest one - works once I preset my airport
TSA precheck - would be great to point me to the map if closest airport has a TSA-Precheck office in the concourse
Videos - no search capability - just TSA videos by date
Is there any anonymous personalization information I could provide that would give me a better experience - maybe my age or whether I was disabled - an about me page. Could be stored locally on the phone - dont want any specific personal information
Does not allow you to post real wait times. TSA needs a revamp.
This is a joke. Maximum wait times, according to this app, is limited to 31+ minutes when actual times can exceed two hours. Rest of the app is just a promo for TSA.
The max wait time is posted as "31+" minutes. How much over 31 minutes is it, TSA? 3 minutes or 3 hours? And the list of airport statuses has two airports irrelevant to me that I cant seem to delete, while I cant add my own home airport to that list. Worthless.
