With the launch, the Airfarewatchdog app allows flyers to:


    --  Look for getaways from their home locations and access all advertised
        and unadvertised deals from their departure cities.
    --  Save their favorite routes and stay on top of airfare trends.
    --  Never miss out on a good fare via push notifications of their favorite
        cities or routes.
    --  Easily compare advertised fares through a tabbed-like search experience.
    --  Stay ahead of the crowd with timely and insightful air-travel
        information from experts at the Airfarewatchblog.

Sharing the Flying Love
 Airfarewatchdog President George Hobica comments on the app, saying, "I've seen a lot of travel apps in my day, but few are as simple to use and straightforward as this one. It's remarkably intuitive and clutter-free. Our users have been begging for an iPhone app for years, and good things come to those who wait. It's one of the cleanest app designs I've ever seen."
