Google Flights is amazing! It replaced primarily Kayak and SkyScanner for me. The main reason I started using it is that when you click calendar view it is already pre-populated with lowest price each day, which lets you very quickly scan to the cheapest days to fly where you want to go. On Kayak for example, their month search requires you state how many nights (what if I'm flexible) and limits you to a 4 week window. Google's approach is much more powerful.
The second reason I switched is the feature to set travel dates and then browse the world map for cheapest places to go on those dates. The third reason I switched is that Google Flights is easily the fastest flight search option.
That said, the only thing new I notice is the material design (which looks great) - so I'm not sure if that alone calls for a re-Hunt.

I wish I could perform advanced searches are in matrix.
Pros:
- fast

- not powerful as matrix (owned by google)

I think the app is great for booking flights, I've used it about 10 times and everything has been ok
Pros:
Easy to use, provides offers from many companies, loyal to customers
Cons:
I'd like Google Flights offer more deals or discounts
It is a dealbreaker for me this difference in price still inside Google Flights, if it was something like: the company changed the price and Google didn't notice yet would be fine but this ruins the experience of searching for a cheap flight.
Pros:
Simple and clean UI
Cons:
On multiple searches/flights it shows a price in the list but when you click it it shows another.

Clean, clear, and powerful - but it is not a one stop shop, could be if it interfaced with more sites ...
One of Google's "hidden" gems
Pros:
Clean interface, powerful search, great graphics
Cons:
Doesn't always find the cheapest fair, or the shortest
Report
Clean and clear interface with powerful search capabilities. However fairs are not always the cheapest or the shortest available

Does it only check directly with the airlines?
No middleman's?
