Ratings and reviews

When I go to check in 24 hours in advance of the flight, the app doesn't do anything. For the last three weeks, and I travel a lot, my check is purposefully delayed a minute before I can actually check in when the icon finally pops up. This gives others ample time to checkin ahead of me to reserve their upgrade status. I noticed this occurring a few weeks ago when I made mention of AA's poor flight performance which causes vast delays; Bad weather has nothing to do with it.

Please add a button to save to Google Wallet!!! AA does have one of the better airline apps. Still a few weird navigation issues (like only linking to bag tracking from the home page but not the itinerary details) and could really use an actual navigation menu rather than lots of links and back buttons. Hasn't really seem much updating lately, tho.

Imagine having an app that gives you all the reservations costs in US dollars, only to change to another currency of UK pounds £ at the checkout. After uninstalling the app on numerous occasions, still nothing. So, I called the AA desk to seek assistance - they told me they couldn't help. I sent them screenshots as they requested and after 45 minutes on the call and bouncing around to other departments, zilch. So many questions. And of course lost time.
