In app check-in should be a smooth process. Instead, it's full of upsells and misdirection. Checking in a bag you already paid for when booking is very confusing. And in the end, it says to drop it off at the kiosk, but doesn't say what that means (I presume I still need to go to the self service kiosk first to print the tag, so this entire exercise in the app is to help United, not the customer, so make it *simple and clear*).

Navigating through the app is more user friendly. However it still has problems linking code share flights - if a portion of your trip is with a partner airline, the app often doesn't show the full itinerary. My biggest issue (this applies to both the website and the app) is that there is no way to share an itinerary with someone. I can email a receipt, but I can't share an itinerary without the $. There needs to be a way to share just the itinerary details without the cost of the flights.

Everything worked fine on the SFO-PVR round-trip in September, but this month not at all. Free wifi no longer functions on my device, so I purchased wifi for the trip. Guess what? That does not work either. How do I get a refund?? Update May 1, 2026: app won't let me check in. My flight is in 2.5 hours, and I have been trying to check in for the past 20 hours and get only an "oopsie" error message. Do better, United.
