Pros and cons of Southwest Airlines app for iPhone and iPad

Southwest Airlines app good for

Worked excellent for us - using new 3rd generation iPod touch & our new 3gs iPhone - uprade your hardware & stop whining about old hardware

Saved my brother a night in Tampa using this app to check the flight status and check in!! Amazing app constantly updated info. Everyone flying southwest should have this app!! Amazing!!!

It would be nice to allow for passbook use with this app. The next update should really allow for integration with passbook. Other than that …I like the app.

I love this app for checking prices and to check in for my flights online. However, as a Canadian, it doesnt allow me to book my travel as it says my "postal code is invalid".

Do not know why there are so many negative reviews. Love this app. Especially if you are a frequent flyer with Southwest.

The app is great for my personal travel. Easy to book flight and rental car

Some bad moments

Basically useless. Multiple problems. Today no boarding pass for connecting flight.

The app says I have to update to continue but then App Store says it's not available in the US store! Have to get boarding pass through website instead

How difficult can it be to get this to navigate past main menu? Have itouch 2nd gen

Wow..this app is seriously bad. How did this get through Apple reviews. Besides the poorly designed main menu, nothing works. Booking, check-in, flight status all give no results . And once you get stuck and go back... None of the buttons on main menu work . I had to close the app 10 times to check everything...... Did you guys do any TESTING???? I would highly recommend that you take this off AppStore and fix these issues and come up with something that works . Very poor show from one of the best airlines.

I love flying Southwest, but this App is terrible! It doenst work at all. Everytime I go into the app, I cannot do anything the screen is simply frozen. I am on an iphone 4 with the latest OS. The only thing that works in this app is the alerts, too bad I cant get into the app to do anything. Southwest please fix!!!!!

What a piece of garbage!! Southwest what have you done to your App??!! Ive used it for 2 years no probs and now you update it and you cant even pick a date!! This has already been reported too and still no fix!
