One-liner
A flight search app that aggregates prices across airlines but suffers from frequent crashes, broken navigation, and poor in-app alert handling.
Strengths
- Strong brand recognition and trust as a long-standing travel aggregator
- Highly effective at displaying flight prices across multiple airlines and routes
- Supports complex trip searches (multi-city, flexible dates) with robust filtering
- Integrates well with Skyscanner's broader travel ecosystem (hotels, car rentals)
- Consistently ranks highly for core keywords like 'going' and 'flights'
Weaknesses
- Frequent app freezes and crashes reported across multiple devices and iOS versions
- Back button functionality broken or unresponsive in recent updates
- Price alerts not delivered within the app—forces users to check email instead
- UI/UX degradation in recent updates: users report it’s less intuitive than before
- Touch input issues on certain devices despite OS updates
Opportunities
- Build a lightweight, crash-free alternative focused solely on flight price tracking with real-time in-app alerts
- Create a minimalist flight search tool optimized for performance on older or high-end devices
- Develop a companion app that syncs with Skyscanner but fixes critical UX flaws like back navigation and alert delivery
- Target users frustrated by Skyscanner’s recent decline by offering a faster, more reliable experience
- Leverage the demand for 'price alerts' by building an app that delivers them instantly via push notifications
Competitors
- Google Flights
- Kayak
- Hopper
