MSE News: Ryanair launches booking app... but at £2.49 for the pleasure

All bookings from all sites,including the Ryanair site will soon only be accessible from a Murphydriod Ryanphone running the "Paddygobackwards" app

Only a moron would pay for this app. Most decent apps are like 69p and the do something that you can't generally get for free. The apps that cost £1.49 or £1.99 are really good apps but to pay £2.49 for something that you can essentially do for free is ridiculous. I can understand people who are travelling might not have access to a laptop and might need to use it but they can download rival apps so there really doesn't seem to be any logic in doing this.

I think someone needs to have a dig at Ryanair. They don't seem to me to be a budget airline. I've just booked flights with them (not by choice) for the first time ever, and the price has soared because of all the add-ons. For the price we've paid we could have used a good airline.:(

A con, a joke, pretty much like the Airline. Don’t buy the app, just use m.ryanair.com, its exactly the same! All they have done is wrap the mobile site into an iOS app and charge you £2.49 for the privilege. Utter joke. I can’t understand how Apple have allowed this!? Another money making scheme from Ryanair!

STAY AWAY FROM RYANAIR

The app has now appeared on AppShopper, so you can set an e-mail or iOS push alert for when the price drops, possibly to zero temporarily or permanently.

I doubt that very much.
Why not by choice?............are they the only airline that fly to your destination ?...........do you have to "match" flights with some one else?........nobody HAS to fly with ryanair do they?
unless they want to be one of the 12 million that do every year!

Have tried this. They're asking for a username and password. Any idea how you register for this please?

I just don't get this. If you could have travelled on a better airline for no more what made you choose Ryanair?
