• figure out your next move if your flight is delayed or cancelled

Ratings and reviews

The app is mostly easy to use, except for the bugs. Good luck taking a picture of your passport to upload, the app immediately closes when you verify the document and says there is a bug. Clearing cache does not help. If you try to do this through the web browser on your phone, it immediately opens up the app and throws the same error.

not a smooth process to register Very complicated. Says to show travel ready badge, but where is it? I click the link, but NOTHING! Needs to be more user friendly. Shouldn't need a masters degree to do everything. Edit. Gawd, what a mess. Boarding pass doesn't even come up at airport. Had to go back for paper ticket. I've NEVER had a pleasant experience with United . NEVER!

It's fine in the States, however once you are overseas, getting anything changed or updated is a huge painful effort. Even when I connect with an agent on messaging, I get constant push back to any change. The airline is not proactive rather reactive and will not allow you to change anything ahead of time. Also, when you are delayed, it takes several times to get a hotel or food voucher. They state that anything due to weather doesn't count for assistance in delays.

What's new

We continue to make enhancements to help make the app easier to use and provide more consistency.
