Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The looks of this app are quite nice, with a pleasant aspect and a practical structuring of the content, the only minor drawback that is noticeable being the slight delays when the info is loaded in certain sections. |
Function9
The feature set is very solid as it includes a smart search for hotels, airports and points of interest, an Express Deals function for getting the lowest rates. Some occasional crashes occurred when browsing the nearby hotels and the app could use an upgrade for the list of hotels to include more for some locations. |
Security8
Priceline - Hotels needs to access some sensitive areas of the system, most of them for good reason, but a couple of them are not related to its functionality. |
Battery6
There is a quite substantial power consumption related to this application, so the battery usage remains constantly at high levels. |
Price10
The very good assortment of information and functions provided free of cost and nuisances gives excellent value to this utility. |
Compatibility9
This app is made to work well on Windows Phone 7.5 and above handsets, as it only needs a standard screen resolution of at least 480 by 800 pixels. |
