terrible app. I am trying to just see my boarding pass when I am getting on a plane, should be simple right? Yet somehow this simple task is requiring me to recheck in each time, and just overall cumbersome to use. Then on top of that, I get pop up ads to buy more of your terrible flight service? I already paid you and you still gotta do that just to inconvenience people who already paid you? Never again.

App works properly, great to have when flying. Can track your flight and see your boarding pass. If you're flying Southwest, download the app. Would recommend. The only reason I deducted a star is that they canceled my flight and I never got an email telling me. If I hadn't been flying with 17 other individuals, I wouldn't have known to check my app or website. It just disappeared from my account like it was never there. The only way I knew, was by entering my confirmation #.

Terrible, what happened to this app? It won't link with your RR number if you got the ticket on your computer. It doesn't update to show delays. It does not remember your flights, so you have to re-look up . It doesn't show delays, doesn't really do anything. It used to be good, but over the last 10 years it really degraded to a useless app. The only useful thing is getting your boarding pass from it but, you have to look it up on a confirmation number because it doesn't link to your reservation
