Half the time doesn't work. On my phone often won't load my boarding pass. On my previous tablet, couldn't get the in flight movies to open. On my new galaxy tablet, won't allow me to sign in and get a 403 error whatever that is.

Untrustworthy and Horrible Customer Support!They moved both of my flights. Completely unacceptable. You can't trust them to honor the time you booked. Asked them to apply the price of the next flight since the one they forced on me was $120 more expensive. I thought that was completely reasonable since they are the one who moved the flight, but they refused. I asked them to price match United. They refused again. Don't bother with Southwest. There are better airlines with less expensive flights.

Problems with booking
I was disappointed with booking a flight. I am planning a trip to Chicago, and there was an option to sign up for a credit card and receive $200 dollars credit on the flight that I was booking. So I applied and qualified for the chase credit card. I went through the entire booking process and when I got to the last step there was an error that said that the phone number I entered was in the incorrect format. I tried like 20 times, and know that I put the phone number in correctly, there’s no other way to put it in. I kept getting the error and eventually the offer had expired 15 minutes later. I am very frustrated that this happened. The next morning I called SWA, and the representative told me that there was nothing they could do about it. She told me that I could call chase and try to figure it out with them. After I called chase, the representative told me that I would have to call SWA and they could help me figure it out. Sadly there was no resolution. I applied for the credit card to gain some points on future flights and I can’t even use the incentive that they promoted on the bottom of the screen. My credit card doesn’t even arrive until a month after I get back from my trip. Please fix this problem so another person doesn’t get as upset as I am right now. -
Online Checkin/ preboarding handicap
The checkin process was utterly horrible, my nephew checked in for a flight that departs earlier on a Monday than my flight. I, like many others who want a decent seat on my flight timed my checkin exactly 24 hours out to the second and I was given spot B54. The same boarding position that was given to my nephew who checked in 45 minutes later than the 24 hour mark, for a more in demand flight. I felt utterly disgraced and embarrassed by southwest’s negligence and maltreatment of my checkin. Now don’t even get me started on how I was screwed over on a previous flight. I was in a wheel chair and was supposed to be preboarded however, the other disabled was brought onto the plane by the porter while I was waiting to be helped onto the plane. As soon as the other handicapped passenger was brought into the jetway the announcer stated that all other preboarding passengers could begin boarding while I was left in my wheel chair baffled and helpless. She should have waited for me to be helped before giving the other able bodied passengers permission to enter the jetway. I was forced to struggle to my feet and limped over to the jetway entrance. I have been a faithful southwest customer for over 20 years and I hope these atrocious mistakes aren't repeated in the future. -
Mobile Boarding Passed with Multiple Travelers
Recently we purchased tickets to flight to California for a family trip. We had one reservation but 5 travelers total. When we tried to check in outside the 24hr window, the app gave some odd error message stating that this reservation was not eligible for check in, which is not true... we were outside the check in window, but we were eligible for check in. Once inside the window we were able to check in, but we were not able to download the mobile boarding passes. Instead we were directed on the app to go to kiosk and print them. In doing web search on SWAs website about multiple boarding passes with one reservation it apparently is doable, but when I called customer service to inquire they state that it’s not doable...so which is it? We recently flew with American Airlines and I was able to do this with their app. We simply checked in, downloaded the boarding passes and airdropped them to my family. Since SWA prides itself on its innovative and progressive approaches, I wonder why they can’t get with the times and fix this seemingly simple issue. As a long time customer, and someone with a large family, traveling can be a hassle, so if SWA can make our lives easier by fixing this we ALL would be much appreciative!!

No obvious way to disable marketing notifications
Every week or so I receive marketing notifications in my phone. There needs to be a way to make this stop. -
No notification that it is time to check in
No text or email that it is time to check in -
Difficulty applying credit.
Terrible interface -
New set up
Not user friendly. -
Trip to New Orleans.
Everything was outstanding. Keep up great job.

I don't think this app has always been this bad but my most recent usage of it has shown that it was an awful waste of time. Doesn't keep you logged in, autocomplete doesn't work correctly, and it's incredibly difficult to do things as simple as finding a boarding pass for a flight (are you REALLY going to make me go to the website or my email to find the confirmation to look up the pass???)

Horrible experience
The customer service was very rude. I have been on a plane over 10 times and Ive always had great friendly/funny Pilots, flight attendants, anybody working on the plane that Ive encountered customer service with. And to me thats one of the most important things. They were EXTREMELY rude while I started to feel sick on the plane which has never happened to me before I always have great flights with no problems, but usually I fly through Delta. I will NEVER fly with Southwest again because of how rude the workers were to not even just me. They were also super slow on getting our drinks out and no snacks were offered, which I thought all airlines offered snacks. And when I was using the bathroom I had forgotten to lock the door, one of the ladys working knocks and then OPENS the door to tell me I need to lock it. Luckily I wasn’t in the middle of going to the bathroom I was just about to wash my hands...I didnt notice if maybe the door was slightly open and she saw that I wasnt going to the bathroom so she opened it..but either way I thought it was rude of her to just open the bathroom door knowing I was in there. I didnt happen to catch the girls name that I had bad experiences with but she had short blonde hair, slightly bigger. -
Don’t Use App for Check-In
The last few times I’ve used this app for check in, I have had less than stellar, or responsive results. I’ll hover by my phone waiting for the minute to turn and then refresh the screen waiting for check-in to start. The minute turns, I refresh the screen and...”see agent at gate”. I go back to the home screen again, attempt to see there details of my trip and see the check in button and...”see agent at gate” comes up yet again. It’s not until the third time and about a minute of screen refreshing later that the check in button pops up along with a “C” or high “B” at best group boarding pass. I thought this was a one time fluke, but I’ve tried checking in over WiFi and over the network, and have had the same results twice in a row. I assume the experience must be better over a computer, so I’d heavily recommend using that if you don’t want a C boarding pass for trying to check in the first second you can. Otherwise, the app works fine, but since Southwest is open seating, check in responsiveness has an immense impact on the experience. -
Check In
I would have given this app 5 stars if it wasn’t for the check in feature glitch. The check in feature has repeatedly given me multiple error messages when trying to check in 24 hours prior to several of my flights. For example, this morning I tried to check in for my upcoming flight, but I was delayed due to a glitch in the app. My flight is at 6 am tomorrow, so I hit the check in feature on my app right when the phone turned 6 am, and followed the prompts to check in. The app gave me the error message that it was unable to check me in and to contact a gate agent. I exited the app multiple times and went through the process again and again, until it finally allowed me to check in. This is not a one off either and seems to happen every time I try to check in for my flights and I end up with a late boarding pass. Other than this annoying feature, the app is great for making reservations, but this is a pretty big deal considering that the seats are selected based on your position in line. -
System Error Canceled my Flight
I got to the gate and my flight had been canceled. I received an email stating “you have canceled your flight”, - both the departure and return had been canceled without me being on the website or app and after I had already gotten through security. The operations attendant was the rudest individual I have ever encountered with Southwest, as customer service and being upbeat is generally the priority with this airline. They were unable to get me on my flight or rebook me until it had already departed and my coworker also had to get off of the flight so that we wouldn’t be separated. This is a business trip, and we fly frequently and have never encountered such an error. I am fairly certain that all of my rapid rewards points are now misadjusted, and this has been an overall awful experience- minus Ashley Sanchez at customer service, who finally got us on a new flight, after battling back and forth with people on the phone about what happened with my tickets for about 35 min. Bless her.
