Elude App 4+

I downloaded excited to be able to looks at vacations based on budget. Was immediately let down when it would not populate my “traveling from” location and in addition when I tried to add the travelers it would only let me add an adult number, there is no option for traveling with children. Deleted after less than 5 mins of download. Would be a great idea if it worked!

I’m giving you 5 stars to encourage the idea behind this app. But overall, this app isn’t working.

When someone wants to travel anywhere anytime on a set budget, you only need to ask these questions

1. The $ I want to pay
2. Fly out from where
3. In what class (economy, plus, business, etc.)
4. Number of travelers
5. How many weeks or months (optional)
6. Continent of interest (optional)

And that’s it. Then you suggest where to go and when to leave that will keep us in that budget.

Otherwise, if you are asking when I want to leave and return, etc., there are already many apps out there I can use.

Google flight is the closest thing to show fares costs months ahead. But I still have to have the destinations.

Here are a few scenarios that I wish there’s an app exists to help me… if I want to fly to Thailand for $4500 budget on a business class flight for 7-8 weeks, when is the date to leave and come back?

Another time I just want to go anywhere within $200 budget. Where can I go and when to leave and return? And if this is too broad, then maybe you’ll have me add more criteria, e.g., I want to be gone for 3 days, etc.

This app should consider filling the gap for self-employed/ entrepreneurs who need a break, know how much they want to spend, and roughly for how long. It’s not for those who need to travel on XYZ date, which there are many apps already that cover those criteria.

They generate some really cool trip ideas, and allow you to customize the trip as you need. They also do a great job of listing out important hotel details which was super helpful in my decision making. Absolutely love this app!
