Barely does the job. when you check in, it doesn't retain the flight info most of the time. Manage reservations? blank. You have to enter it again. If you leave the app and come back, it often resets everything or wastes time reloading. These issues have persisted for years. And now, if you change your seat, it doesn't change on your boarding pass or even the info screen. So, what seat do I have? It's almost better just using their web page than this mess.

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 #.
