Normally great, buggy update I usually love the Southwest app for everything from booking to boarding passes. Dice the most recent update (as of Oct '24), however, the app will no longer load my boarding passes; it just "thinks" interminably. This is, of course, very inconvenient and means I've had to get my passes printed at the airport. If this bug gets fixed, the app would get 5 stars.

I've flown with Southwest for almost 10 years! The app is just like their service- the Best! It's very well integrated with customer service, and provides up-to-minute information which is critical to a frequent traveler. I use them almost exclusively when traveling to any of their destinations. I once flew with another airline, my flightvwas canceled; I had insurance & they out me on the next flight out- on Southwest, lol. That was my confirmation, they're for me. I refer everyone

I've never used an airline app that makes it so difficult to see boarding passes. That should be the most functional part of the app. There's no simple 1-click option to see a boarding pass. You have to go to check in, then check in (even if you already have), and then you can see boarding passes. And if your screen shuts off, the app makes you go through all that again. That's 2 steps more than should be necessary. Terrible functionality.
