Best app ever!!!

Good app, but...

Airports arent updated that often. Loaded up this morning and Sea-Tac still showed the last update from last night. Best to phone or check the Internet on wait times. Dont rely on this app for accuracy.

Great app

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!

Piece of Crap!!

App just crashes. Not worth your time to download even for free!

Useless app

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 User contributed delay info is outdated.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

not very personalized

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

This app is crap

Does not allow you to post real wait times. TSA needs a revamp.

Useless

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.

31+???

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.

No wait time more than 30 min?

Seems like a great idea for an app, but why is 30 min the longest wait time we can report? Makes it relatively useless and misleading.

Not very useful for checking on waiting times

The app only goes up to 31+ for wait times. Totally unacceptable when wait times can now be as long as 2-3 hours. Just another TSA PR tool

Wait times only go to 31+ minutes

By default I plan 30 minutes so this tells me nothing, why not 30-45, 45-60 or 2+?

Makes TSA look better than they deserve

Completely useless. Now that theres an intentional union slowdown wait times can be 2-3 hours (!) at major airports. Having the reported wait times limited to 31+ minutes makes the TSA look good. Dont be deceived, use the hashtag #iHateTheWait on Twitter and youll see the *real* wait times.

Wait times are reported by other travels

USELESS - the user population of app makes relying on other travelers for wait times to be submitted is a JOKE. The TSA needs an overhaul as they do NOTHING to improve the TSA process.

Useless App-I wish I could give it zero stars.

This app is basically useless. With wait times now exceeding 1, 2, and in some places 3 hours it is absolutely useless to only allow wait times to be classified as 31+. It would be really simple to add more times beyond 31+. It is probably set this way to make wait times look better than they are. I travel with medical conditions and a service dog. It is nice to have an estimate on how long wait times are to ensure accuracy. Plus pet relief areas are out of reach because some places require you to go back through security. I cannot even imaging trying to travel with kids and not having a more accurate estimate. If I hadnt know from a friend about longer TSA wait times I would have thought I could make it through security in a decent time of about half an hour, now I need to be at the airport 3 hours early.

Only helpful for wait times less than 30 minutes.

The max wait time that can ever be displayed is 31+ minutes. Pretty ambitious, especially given the recent surge in wait times. If you see "31+" expect to be waiting an hour at minimum.

My TSA App

Great idea but max reportable time is 31+ minutes? Who are we kidding? At 4AM for a 6AM flight out of ORD the actual time in line was 1:20:00! App functions fine otherwise but NO credibility when actual wait times cannot be posted--its NOT the user-reporters; its the inadequate app.

Traveler

So I appreciate the effort, but the information about security delays needs refinement. The longest delays are listed as 31+ minutes, but theres a big difference between 32 minutes and 122 minutes. With nationwide reports of extreme delays, the app needs more grades of delays (e.g. 45 minutes, 2 hours, eternity) to truly be useful. Also, trends for delays based on airport, day of week, and time would be swell.

Useless

Having only an option to see or post wait time up to "31+ minutes" serves zero value for any traveler. Especially considering the 3 hours or so wait times happening now, to only know a wait is greater than 30 minutes carries no travel value of any kind whatsoever. If I cant use the app to plan legitimately then what is the point of having it?? Uninstalling it now.

Disappointing

I acquired this app hoping to use it as a guide for arrival time at airport depending on TSA wait times. With the limitation of a max weight time of 31 minutes that feature is totally useless. No wonder nobody is bothering to input to it as far as wait times, since it would be totally misleading. It could be really useful and Im sure would have more participation if you could actually put in the wait time youve experienced in the TSA line.
