Hm, yes in the case where there's only one layover it does say where and for how long. It doesn't show you that detail for 2+ layovers, and it doesn't show you what the length of the legs are or the local arrival/depature times on the comparison screen.
It takes one click to unroll the flight details which show the layovers and arrival-departure times. The fact that hipmunk doesn't have a monthly calendar with prices makes it significantly worse than google flights for me.
Not to mention a few other missing features, such as google's explore nearby destinations map, which is very handy.
