Priceline - Hotels 3.26.96
But users can do all this from their Android devices as well, as the app works just fine and even comes with the option of creating an account and managing your reservations.
Lightweight interface that could use some instructions
We've gotten used to travel apps that come with an extensive tutorial filled with instructions and tips on how to use the app and take advantage of all of its features.
But Priceline app only comes with some tips displayed when you navigate inside the app. Still, the interface is quite stylish and lightweight but it takes a while to load search results.
Users may register with an email or use their Google Wallet account to manage reservations inside the app. You can also have the app save user info, including billing information but not your credit number. The home page comes with three sections, hotels, flights and rental cars.
Search for hotel rooms in any location around the world
You simply need to type in the location and check in/out dates in order to find hotel rooms to book. The app takes a while to load results, but it displays all offers including discounts for rooms in your designated location. It shows you the hotel's rating even before you may open the listing.
It provides you with reviews and multiple pictures so you'd know what to expect. A list of amenities is also featured together with a short description of the hotel. You can book rooms instantly or favorite them. There's also the option of sharing them online.
Purchase plane tickets and rent cars
You can also search for rooms by selecting the desired area, the hotel rating and a price range that you can afford. There's also the option of using the express deals feature, to get hotel rooms without bidding for them, but the exact hotel name and address is only revealed after you book.
Priceline also lets you purchase plane tickets, but you won't find the best prices so it's better to use the app just for booking rooms. Car renting is done on the developer's website as the app automatically redirects you there when you wish to rent a car. It works on Android Wear.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is quite nice with all features at hand and users may register with an account and manage reservations that they've made. |
Function8
The app works just fine but it takes a while to load search results and doesn't really offer the best prices for flights. |
Security8
It needs some permissions from your phone, but it shouldn't really pose any privacy issues. |
Battery6
Consumption is quite high, so make sure to keep an eye on battery resources when using this app. |
Price10
The app is completely free of charge and doesn't come with any ads or in-app purchases. |
Compatibility8
The app needs devices running Android version 4.0 or later. |
A nice app for finding affordable hotel rooms but we've seen better.
