TBF I can see the value of wingly if it is used for "advertising" seats on flights around the local area, or on cross country flights where it is made utterly clear by the PIC prior at the time of booking and again pre-departure that there's a "maybe" factor.

I do however have problems with the concept as described by Simon Calder, i.e. an app that: "...aims to connect aviators with amateurs like me who need to get from A to B but have some flexibility about where A and B happen to be, and can work around the pilot’s timing. For the passenger it promises an exhilarating experience along with transportation."

My emphasis on both "need" and "transportation".......

( phraseology is not Wingly's doing, I accept that, but I think SC's wording is a bit unfortunate).
