## Review summary

User reviews highlight Fareboom's easy-to-use app and effective flight tracking features, along with the ability to find discounted flight deals. However, multiple users report severe issues with customer service, including unresponsive support and delayed refunds. Unapproved changes to flights, additional hidden fees, and difficulties in payment processes for family bookings contribute to user dissatisfaction. While some have positive experiences with rebookings and flight updates, the prevailing concerns revolve around poor communication and financial transparency.
