PLEASE NOTE:
This version of the app includes a need to access the list of currently running tasks. The reason this is necessary is to detect the state of our own app when a dialog is displayed. In some situations the app can enter a bad state and continuing with no action can crash it. Inclusion of this fix and the need to check on our own app’s activity is due to user feedback and a need to increase quality.

No other metrics or data is collected on any other running app.

Hipmunk Flight & Hotel Search

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:37:50 +0000

Hipmunk is the fastest, easiest way to search for flights and hotels. The app will save you time by comparing all the top travel sites so you don’t have to. Our unique display makes it easy to visually compare results to choose what’s best for you. And, Hipmunk for Android is totally free.

Unlike every other travel app out there, Hipmunk doesn't just show you the cheapest flight first--the app sorts by "agony" instead, which incorporates important factors like flight duration, number of layovers and price. Hotel results are shown on a map so you can see exactly where you'll be staying in a destination. You can also read TripAdvisor reviews in the app and turn on heatmaps to see which are the best areas to stay in based on unique interests like food, landmarks, nightlife and more.

With Hipmunk, you can securely book a hotel in just a few taps whether the hotel is for tonight or for an upcoming trip. Select "Hipmunk" for your booking option. For flights and hotels, you can also email an itinerary to some else or finish booking on your desktop.

Permissions ----------

Add or remove accounts, find accounts, create accounts & set passwords, use accounts - Required for Hipmunk accounts

Read Google service configuration - This is required for the option to log in to your Hipmunk account with Google

Test access to protected storage - This is a new permission with a bad description. It will be required to read the hotel images we have cached to the SD card. They are in a folder that will be deleted if you uninstall the app, and it is prevented from getting large.

Recent changes:
5.1 - Fixed Facebook login and a few little issues.
