@_jacksmith They both have pretty much the same awesome interface for showing how expensive your flight can be depending on location, departure, and arrival but Corner gives you more initial starting options/contexts. Like finding flights by weather. It also seems to do a better job of best match, taking into account delays, prices, layovers than hopper does. So far really impressed! I haven't booked anything through it yet so can't compare there.
@artom57: Two things I think would be sweet are:
1) In the initial onboarding example detect the users location rather than defaulting to Toronto (at least that's what mine was). I get maybe not wanting to ask for location privileges up front though if that was the reason for not doing this.
2) If you could have delays (or even potential delays based on weather) factor in to flight times that would be amazing. Especially for short notice flights.
@ekryski thanks for the comments.
1) Yes, we decided not to ask for location privileges initially because we found people get frustrated, when they get asked their location right after downloading the app. I think this frustration isn't really connected to Corner, but more to the fact that so many apps ask for location permission when they don't actually need it. We are thinking of adding it as an option during the onboarding, but not mandatory.
2) We've been exploring this, the hardest thing to do is to find a good data source. Do you know anyone good?
@ekryski I don't really care as much about weather. A key feature of hopper that I like is that it can monitor the price of tickets over time and send you a notification when the price drops. I'll check this out though
@axelk You can browse places to go from London and book a flight in euros or dollars but we haven't officially launched in the UK. Coming later this year, we need to start accepting British pounds and get more low-cost carriers

@axelk@artom57 come on man; Brexit means pounds are really just the same as dollars. Launch in the UK now please :-)
@wterhalle skyscanner has great prices, especially in europe. So we have some work to do, but we are very different products, I think they are a lot closer to kayak.
