my Samsung won't advance past the hazardous materials screen. I don't have an option to continue.

when I update my seat selection it won't let me enter an email address in order to confirm and save it. I start typing my first part of the email address and then it stops typing at all. I don't seem to have any issues typing in this text box though

Horrible

It has horrible user experience. Made me to sign up for their reward program 4 times. Can’t update profile info. Can’t add pre tsa when checking in on the app.

Doesn’t save reservation

No matter how many times I put in my confirmation number and get flight details, it seems to refuse to save my trips. Apparently this has been a common theme for all of the passengers in my company that are flying with Southwest, regardless of Apple or Google devices. There is no way to save flight details

I can't get my boarding passes. The new app says hit continue but there is no continue. I suspect it is off screen. cleared the cache and reinstalled no help. Never had any issue with the old app.

They tried to fix what wasn’t broken. Now it is.

Can’t check a bag on the app now. Used to be easy, now it’s an absolute pain.

I didn’t get her name

But I got the greatest help from a Southwest customer service rep. The app is fine.

Doesn't remember saved features or flights

Every time I have logged into this app I need to re-search my flight info. It has none of my preferences saved either, even after putting them in several times.
