Hmmm..
I don’t understand so many of these reviews complaining about so many things that I’ve 100% been able to do on this app. I can load all the boarding passes for connections on my trips (you do have to add each individual one to your wallet, but that’s not hard). The app is fairly up to date with my flight info usually. I can check in to my flights through it. I never have to look up my trips with record locators (I do always book my flights through the app though, so maybe that’s why). I love that it tracks my checked luggage, fairly accurately too. I can’t speak to the in flight entertainment, I never bother to use it. If the plane doesn’t have in seat screens, I just use my Kindle or Surface Pro to watch downloaded Netflix or Prime Video stuff. I travel frequently, almost always on AA, and it has made traveling easier for me. -
Old boarding passes that I can't get rid of are making it so I can't see my new passes. Drop down menu has previous passes without my current listed and when trying to access it on the boarding pass list, it's there but still takes me to old passes. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, now just login errors even after resetting my password. No idea, and super annoying.

The app is great
I read through the reviews and took issue with most of them. People qualify themselves as frequent fliers and then mention that this app is dysfunctional...as an Executive Platinum member (i.e.- I fly), I find this app highly capable. I find it useful in every way that I need it to be. I’m able to book revenue and award tickets, I’m able to select my seats, and when my upgrade processes I’m able to recheck my seat in the new cabin. I’m able to check-in and I find the app to be very useful in receiving flight updates. My company uses concur, and the moment my flight is reserved in concur it shows up in the app. I’m able to understand if my flight may be impacted based on the app-provided “inbound” flight, and I’m able to live-track my baggage in the event that I check bags. I’m not sure what people expect from an app, but in reading the reviews it seems that people are hoping that the app somehow will solve all of their travel nightmares, but I’m afraid those are classic weather, mechanical, and customer service issues. -
Reliable information, very professional. No stress!
Unlike some others, I do find this app intuitive. Love being able to see inbound flight info, and updates for flight information is very timely. I feel like I have an inside track because in many cases, I have learned about gate changes and other info before formal announcements. Seat change requests are accurate, and I’ve never been let down. When traveling, we rely on having accurate information and having control, and this app helps me keep the stress level down because I never have to guess. Yes, sometimes the in-flight entertainment is glitchy, but I’m on a plane sharing a small network with many users so I’ve stuck to using data, only for work, and viewing downloaded movies or listening to downloaded music. There are too many other entertainment options out there these days for me to hold this against the app when that is not it’s main purpose. -
Made whole trip convenient!
This app really made my travel experience easy not just in terms of getting flight and boarding info, but also navigating unfamiliar airports quickly. I didn’t need to enter any info to have my reservation front and center, and it filtered out legs of my trip that I completed (though they’re still accessible) The app has a map of each airports on the reservation, with their terminals/gates, and marks where the gate is in the map. You can also get directions if you want to. I had very short layovers and needed to get quickly to my next gate, and this app made figuring out where and how I needed to get there effortless. In addition it shows nearby airport restaurants and other things by name on the map. Also, when browsing restaurants, it pre-filters them based on where you’re at. It even has their menus, which I appreciated b/c I eat GF and wanted to know ahead of time if it would be a waste of time to eat somewhere. The map loaded fast too, and didn’t chug when I scrolled/zoomed. The confirmation reminders helped me not forget to do it, and the boarding passes added to passbook in the proper order (small detail but other apps have messed this up or don’t add all boarding passes for a multi-leg trip). Bottom line - I always felt the most relevant info to me at the time was present, was easy to find, and never slowed me down. Best airline app experience I’ve had. Don’t change anything! -
I love this app! By far the best airline app!
I didn’t realize how much I love the American Airlines app until traveling on a couple different airlines recently and I really came to appreciate it. I get notified immediately through push notifications when there are any delays, flight changes, etc. and it also updates all the information on the boarding pass in my Apple wallet. I expected this from another airline and didn’t receive it - got all the way to that gate and then customer service before finding out a flight was cancelled, which never would’ve happened on American! Everything, including same day flight changes is a breeze to do in the app, and I also have been able to reschedule flights easily: I got notified that my flight delay would cause me to miss my connection and was offered other flight times that I could book immediately. Huge fan of the app and of American!! -
Great App, Continuous Development
I just opened my app in order to check in for my flight tomorrow from BOS to ORD. Upon refresh, I received a notice that they were looking for volunteers to take a different flight and wanted to know the minimum I would accept to switch. It said my choice had been noted and if needed I would be called to the desk tomorrow! Wow! That’s using technology to prevent fires instead of always fighting them. There is bad weather across the country and they are really working to prevent as much pain as possible at the airport tomorrow. I have one suggesting and this app will be simply the best in breed. For upgrades, please put the number of seats available along with the number of people checked in. That way you have a bit more of an idea if an upgrade is even possible. Currently, you can see your name of the list but not how many seats are available to begin with. Delta does this and I love it! -
Good and getting better
I’ve recently switched to flying primarily American based on the routes I fly most. Especially after reaching Gold status, when more things opened up in the app, the app experience has continued to improve. I love that I can now book my main cabin flight using my corporate card and then pay to upgrade to first using my personal card. The only issue that I run into consistently is that when I pay to upgrade my flight, I always have to re-enter my card details. The UI suggests that I should be able to use a card on file, but none of my payment methods are listed. Fixing this would make upgrading a snap! -
It's great! I love that I get notifications when there's been a change to my seat or flight and also when they are boarding.

I could see the flight as a guest on the app. However, I could not log into my username on AA.

Great app on day of travel
Not sure what the poor reviews are about... certainly more about service issues than the app itself. As a weekly AA flyer, I find the app to be very helpful and intuitive. I don’t need to dig all over like the United app. Everything is on the home screen and it’s dynamic to what I most need at that time. Favorite features are the ability to order food from restaurants at DFW and a few other airports - need more! - and see the terminal maps to plan out a quick connect. Rebooking is great when it works, many times though the rebook option doesn’t show up in app timely for me. I get the text message about a cancellation or delay and race to the app and the rebooking shows sometimes but not others. Otherwise very positive experiences with the app! -
Very good App. I travel frequently, it is accurate, with timely updates and notifications.

We are American!
It’s always great with American airlines because they listen. I have always taken the time to communicate with American Airlines and noticed that it does work overtime. I appreciate the constant upgrades that American brings to make it better and better each time. It’s a parent did American wants to be number one and I realize they’re not perfect, they are working hard to make it the best American Airlines possible. I appreciate this so good and hopefully some integrated parts will make this a better experience. Knowing how much time it takes to develop and tweak apps and sites, I appreciate the time invested to continually give us a great experience as we fly across this country with American Airlines. Thank you once again for serving us with excellence. -

I travel every week, the app has been the easiest to book and track flights for flying between other airlines I've used. The fact they actually list the percentage of "on time" to "late" flights when booking is pretty transparent. I've enjoyed it so far. One thing I wish they'd add to the app is booking multi-city traveling. It can only be done on their website.

Reliable app, bad video integration
Seems like most people don't know how to review an app and instead review customer service issues 😄. Here's an actual app review. Been using consistently for over a year now. Used for 70+ check-ins, TSA points, and boarding. App is reliable, updates changes in flight information quickly, sometimes even before the pilot has informed passengers. A recent update broke the "clear expired passes" feature which was useful as I am a frequent flyer that uses iOS's wallet feature a lot. Using the app for in-flight entertainment is quite atrocious. UI loops that bring you back to square one and very infrequent experiences without glitches. Most of the time it just plain doesn't work. Maybe it's the plane's servers, but c'mon...WestJet got it right, why can't American!? The most recent update killed compatibility with iOS 9. Yeah, I should update, I get it. But really, how hard is legacy support? -
Not always reliable. So many times I open it and it says error, but has my info. Any buttons I push or menu I select in app it says error

Just keeps repeating "error please try again". Can't get in to get the barcode for my trip reservation. Can't go anywhere in the app except for the coronavirus warning. I've allowed all permissions and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Don't know what to do next. Google essentials phone (android).

Just downloaded app. Won't let me log in. I logged in fine online. App keeps staying 'Error try again". I uninstalled and reinstalled app. Rebooted phone. I am on latest Android. Still the same. Bummer for travel today.

Very Little Versatility
I would bet that I am in the top 1% of time spent using the app as I fly often. I have many ideas for how it can be improved, but the first would be to make it to where cash and miles redemption values are pulled, preferably shown simultaneously, at the same time like in Delta’s app. Second, multi-city search should be an absolute no-brainer. Third, adding a filter to flight results for departure time (slider), arrival time (slider), flight duration (slider), cost (slider), class (I hate that Basic Economy shows up as it makes Sorting on Price cloudy just like on the website), and connecting city (check boxes). Fourth, being able to add more the one origin airport into a search would be very convenient. Fifth, GoGo Entertainment App is a nuisance - buying WiFi and accessing entertainment during flight should all happen in-app (I’m sure this is the most difficult as info would pull from many sources.) Sixth, the boarding passes added to Apple Wallet should disappear on their own after a flight has occurred. All of the above should be the standard for an airline’s app, excluding the WiFi and Entertainment all in one place. -
App is pretty much unusable at this point. If you manage to login, the second you navigate to another section it kicks you back out to the login page. Fix this.

Amazing how bad this app still is
I use the app every week as i travel that much. Its amazing to me that after being at this for so many years, AA STILL doesn't understand what travelers need. there are many annoying things that i wish they would solve already. 1). I live in PR, the area to store my CC information does not accept PR as a state or territory for my address. PR has been part of the US for 100 years. I’ve reported it several times but they either ignore it or cant figure it out 2- the app used to have multi-city functionality, it was taken away, so, we are going backwards? 3- i often get an “error 504” when paying for tickets, its annoying as it forces one to have to start again 4- if one is traveling outside the US, it defaults to the local language, the Language chOice option is not permanent, it should allow language preference regardless if where you are. 5- luggage tags should be added to the electronic boarding pass. 6- there should be a “order of presence for CCs, meaning which ones to use first, second, etc. The list of suggestions can go on and go, but first, fix the problems. -
Won't open, keeps saying error something went wrong please try later. I called the 1-800 number and they were of little help. App stopped working right before my retuen flight was set for check-in, customer service was very little help and kept telling me it was me and my phone not their app.
-
The app was working fine until the update. The update logged me off and now on every login attempt, an error message is diplayed. I can login using the browser so it's definitely the app update.

Least Useful Airline App. And Airline.
Not living in a city that is a major hub for one airline, I frequently switch between American, United, and Delta. After booking with my company’s travel department my flights on United and Delta automatically show up in their respective Apps, along with boarding passes showing my Pre-Check status. To get a boarding pass in the American App, you will have to enter your confirmation number in the app to view your reservation, and it won’t show Pre-Check status. My Pre-Check number is in my profile and shows in the app, but according to American, because we don’t book directly with American they are unable give me boarding pass in app showing that I’m Pre-Check. This requires a trip to the Kiosk where I have to check in and manually enter my Pre-Check number and get a printed boarding pass. Push notifications are so far behind you won’t get a notice your flight is boarding until you’ve already (hopefully) landed at your destination. The one bright side is easy access to terminal maps in the app. But this app and this airline are in desperate need of an update in user friendliness. -
Crashes alot! but when it works its very convenient and easy to use. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and still says error everytine I open it. I've been trying to choose my seat for days
-
Unhelpful and glitchy. Will not let me enter my information and if it does, it says I havent entered anything. Save your time and sanity and just use an internet browser instead.

I’ve reported it several times but they either ignore it or cant figure it out 2- the app used to have multi-city functionality, it was taken away, so, we are going backwards? 3- i often get an “error 504” when paying for tickets, its annoying as it forces one to have to start again 4- if one is traveling outside the US, it defaults to the local language, the Language chOice option is not permanent, it should allow language preference regardless if where you are. 5- luggage tags should be added to the electronic boarding pass. 6- there should be a “order of presence for CCs, meaning which ones to use first, second, etc. The list of suggestions can go on and go, but first, fix the problems. -
Won't open, keeps saying error something went wrong please try later. I called the 1-800 number and they were of little help. App stopped working right before my retuen flight was set for check-in, customer service was very little help and kept telling me it was me and my phone not their app.

Crashes alot! but when it works its very convenient and easy to use. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and still says error everytine I open it. I've been trying to choose my seat for days

The app is hung up on the phone number, when creating an account. There was a separate field for area code, but it still stopped me because it wants all 10 digits. But then stopped me again, erroring that I need ten digits, when I've entered 10 digits. Will make the account online, but that's irritating.

Lacks important features
Frequent flyers need specific features which are just lacking in this app. It needs the ability to see ALL open seats on the flight you are on. It only shows the ones in your class. You can not tell how many seats are available for an upgrade which is something you really want to know. You have to act like you are booking a new trip on the flight you are booked on to see available first class seats. The upgrade list is not available to view until inside the 24-hour mark. Why? Other airline apps show this all along. The app will only show Admirals Club locations at airports OTHER than the one you are at if you have location tracking turned on. It will never show locations at the airport you are in. That is the only airport you care about at that moment. The only way to see the current airline locations is to turn off GPS in the app. Just bad programming. The ability to see alternate flights should be an easy thing. If your flight is delayed or cancelled I’d like to quickly and easily see options without acting like I’m booking a whole new flight which shows all flights for the day including ones that are already gone earlier in the day. There needs to be some thought and consideration for the basic needs of their frequent flyers on this app.

Just keeps repeating "error please try again". Can't get in to get the barcode for my trip reservation. Can't go anywhere in the app except for the coronavirus warning. I've allowed all permissions and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Don't know what to do next. Google essentials phone (android).
-
Just downloaded app. Won't let me log in. I logged in fine online. App keeps staying 'Error try again". I uninstalled and reinstalled app. Rebooted phone. I am on latest Android. Still the same. Bummer for travel today.

App is pretty much unusable at this point. If you manage to login, the second you navigate to another section it kicks you back out to the login page. Fix this.

The app was working fine until the update. The update logged me off and now on every login attempt, an error message is diplayed. I can login using the browser so it's definitely the app update.

Least Useful Airline App. And Airline.
Not living in a city that is a major hub for one airline, I frequently switch between American, United, and Delta. After booking with my company’s travel department my flights on United and Delta automatically show up in their respective Apps, along with boarding passes showing my Pre-Check status. To get a boarding pass in the American App, you will have to enter your confirmation number in the app to view your reservation, and it won’t show Pre-Check status. My Pre-Check number is in my profile and shows in the app, but according to American, because we don’t book directly with American they are unable give me boarding pass in app showing that I’m Pre-Check. This requires a trip to the Kiosk where I have to check in and manually enter my Pre-Check number and get a printed boarding pass. Push notifications are so far behind you won’t get a notice your flight is boarding until you’ve already (hopefully) landed at your destination. The one bright side is easy access to terminal maps in the app. But this app and this airline are in desperate need of an update in user friendliness. -
Unhelpful and glitchy. Will not let me enter my information and if it does, it says I havent entered anything. Save your time and sanity and just use an internet browser instead.

Becoming less useful esp on the Watch
I usually give an app 3 stars if it at least does the minimum across all platforms. This app does not execute it’s features at an acceptable level. Forgetting about the missing features (well documented in other reviews), the watch app is horrendous. It no longer has complications for Apple Watch (not Series 5 paired to to XS Max, anyway). The complication functioning correctly is incredibly important on travel days to keep current with changing gates and departure times. For as a long as I’ve been using the app (across multiple phones and watches now), the watch would usually display incorrect times after connecting in a different time zone. For example, when I go from Florida to someplace else and connect in DFW, the change in time zone wreaked havoc on the app. I would frequently be onboard my 2nd segment and the watch was telling me how long until my 1st segment had to land. That is just nuts... but that is if it would give me flight info at all. Approximately 25% of the time, nothing would update and / or I couldn’t even get my flight to come across from the phone to the watch. Seriously, AA?! -
Will not let me log in, i always get an error. I travel frequently and the app worked untill recently, there needs to be a bug fix!!!

Terrible app
Terrible app, this isn’t very functional compared to the United app. I dropped United last year and I am a frequent flyer and now Platnium pro. The WiFi functionality in the air to stream just doesn’t work well in the app. How you have to switch back and forth multiple times going from ur WiFi settings to the app in order to play a video. U should simply be on the WiFi and then be able to select entertainment and be able to select the video all in the app. The upgrade list isn’t well done and isn’t able to be seen in real time except right before boarding. Interactive maps are terrible. Push notifications for boarding, or modifying push notifications to 15 min before boarding so you can leave the Admirals club and make it to your gate on time. Also it is a pain when ur boarding pass expires when in the air, a big problem when ur flight is delayed. I get better notifications from Kayak about my American Airlines delays and baggage claim then I get out of the American app. It is truly a disappointing app. -
App just keeps getting an error. Super frustrating. Can't do anything in it even after uninstalling and reloading.
