## Review summary

User reviews show a divided view of Hotwire on iOS. A minority praise the app for potential savings and straightforward booking when it functions, with some noting visible pricing and good deals. However, a large number of reviews highlight serious reliability issues (crashes, loading trips, sign-in problems), booking errors and refund challenges (charges with no reservation, difficulty getting refunds), and inconsistent customer service. Additional complaints focus on misleading deals and variable hotel quality. Overall, reliability and service gaps outweigh the savings positives, suggesting improvements are needed to restore trust.
