Since the new update for Samsung, you can't retrieve a boarding pass. The screen freezes on the warning page of what not to bring. Well that was fast. New update and the app works. now they just need to make their planes the same way. Quick, Fast and in a hurry.

I know Southwest has a reputation for short delays due to planes getting in last minute but all my flights have been multiple hour delays. it's ridiculous
It would be nice if the app told you what gate you're landing at. That will help you know how far you need to go to catch your connecting flight.
I was having problems getting past the Hazardous Material page to view my boarding pass and it was driving me mad. I read another review saying they were experiencing the same issue. Once, I decreased the font size in my phone settings I was able to select and continue to view the boarding pass.
bad services this days how can you charge every luggage, your customer rate is dropping so fast
When I try to use the app, I very often get error messages
the talk true
Awesome! A great overall experience.
not a great experience. Says I'm not logged in, the screen flashes to another page and suddenly I am. it's still just a PWA. nothing native about it.
Can't check my bag. When you hit check bags the app puts me in a due loop to downlaod the app again over and over.
