Pointfare: Award Flight Finder

Pointfare is the current brand name of the app formerly called AwardGrid. Award seats in one table. Website: pointfare.dowhiz.com

Pointfare puts award seats for several origins, several destinations and up to 92 days into one table. Each cell shows the lowest miles for each cabin you asked for, with the program and the seats left; each option also shows its fees and how old the data is.

• Sample data: search any route between the 84 airports Pointfare recognises, over the next 12 months, and use every screen on built-in, clearly labelled sample data, without an account and with nothing sent anywhere. • Search in English or Chinese, for several origins and destinations over a range of dates. • List, calendar and matrix views, and a side-by-side comparison of up to four options. • My programs: choose the credit card points and airline programs you have, and new searches start with the programs you can use. These names stay on your iPhone. • Route watches check when you open or return to the app. With your own connected data-provider account, route targets can also be checked in the background when iOS allows; iOS decides when, if at all. If a background check finds a route at or below its miles target and notifications are allowed, this iPhone can create a local notification. Pointfare does not send remote push or email alerts. There is no fixed checking frequency and no guaranteed immediate alert when seats open up. Sample-data watches check only when you open or return to the app. • Plan a trip: type a trip to see how Pointfare reads it, save the plan on your iPhone, and try it on sample data.

Your own award data (optional): if you have an account at the third-party award-data provider Pointfare supports, with API access (the provider decides which accounts have it; Pointfare sells nothing), you can connect it to see results from that account instead of sample data, with the provider's own sign-in. Pointfare has no in-app purchases.

Results from the provider are its cached data: confirm on the program's own site before you transfer points.

Pointfare never sees the password to your provider account, and the sign-in tokens stay in your iPhone's Keychain, with iCloud Keychain sync off. Searches go from the iPhone directly to the provider. A small token service at awardgrid.dowhiz.com exchanges and refreshes the sign-in tokens for Pointfare; it stores nothing and keeps no logs of tokens. Pointfare for iPhone has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking.

Pointfare is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by its data provider, any airline, or any loyalty program.
