  1. [R1] Alaska Hawaiian 1/5 · US New Update: The new update makes the app completely unusable. I am unable to log into my account. There is a requirement to open a separate screen to log in that fails to load. There is no way to stay logged in on my device. I have restarted the app and my phone with no improvement.
  2. [R4] Alaska Hawaiian 1/5 · US Fix the sign in: Signing in is impossible
  3. [R7] Alaska Hawaiian 1/5 · US Unable to Log in: Unable to log in and even use the app. A blank screen shows after signing in.
  4. [R10] Alaska Hawaiian 1/5 · US Can’t login: App keeps locking up on the login screen. I e tried deleting and reinstalling but still doesn’t work. Pretty useless if I cant login.
  5. [R3] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Better Before: Before the combination with Hawaii, the app used to work better. I continuously get signed out and then the app just freezes. I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to log back in… I am not sure what the connection is or if it’s just coincidental, but I did not have to do this before.
  6. [R6] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Sign-in experience is awful: I like that the app is getting more robust but it takes too long to sign in.
  7. [R12] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Login issues: I’ve never had issues logging into the app until the full integration with Hawaiian a month or two ago. Now I try logging in and but notice it won’t work sometimes (login page will stay blank), or I notice that I’m logged out almost immediately. Please add an option to stay logged in.
  8. [R24] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Bad Sign in Process: I don’t like the new sign in process for the app. It requires that I sign in almost every time I open the app. And when traveling and checking updates, it’s pretty inconvenient.
  9. [R19] Alaska Hawaiian 2/5 · US Fine at best: This app is fine when it works. As I write this their authentication is broken again. I want to book flights, get boarding passes, and check my miles. Please stop trying to make it more complicated than that. Auth0 shouldn’t be timing out ON A TICKETING APP for extended periods of time. Honestly very concerning. And I did check, this isn’t their problem it’s yours.
  10. [R21] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Buggy: The app is functional but it always seems to have an issue somewhere in the process. Sometimes that issue come when I am checking out, accessing the companion fare or logging into my account… but there is always an issue at some point when I use the app.
  11. [R31] Alaska Hawaiian 2/5 · US Big fall from app before the merger: The Alaska app used to be great before they merged with Hawaiian Air. Now it’s slow and buggy, frequently hangs, pages don’t load properly.
  12. [R15] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Frustrating: Had a difficult time this time with booking my flight. Payment was tricky. Entered the same information several times.
  13. [R18] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Glitch on App communication: App won’t accept my acknowledgement and confirmation of flight time changes on future reservation. I did “Tap here” as instructed but App won’t advance; instead it stalls.
  14. [R9] Alaska Hawaiian 3/5 · US Does not log in on iphone17: Does not log in on iphone 17
  15. [R41] Alaska Hawaiian 5/5 · US App update sucks!: will only load if you have 17 OS and I have apple 16.1 so now thing works. Great. Thanks Alaska, making it hard to love you
  16. [R59] United Airlines 5/5 · US Love the United App: Being able to pick up where I left off on a reservation is very helpful. The ease with which O could use miles to bring down the price was awesome! Thank you, United!
  17. [R61] United Airlines 5/5 · US United Airlines App a Must Have: I am so impressed with the United Airlines App. Consistent Updates on Flight Info, Gate to Gate Mapping and Walking Distance Info. Seat Change optional literally up to the main door closing. Flight Entertainment at your Fingertips. A Really Awesome Travel Tool to Have
  18. [R63] United Airlines 5/5 · US The best self check in: United provides a super easy self check in, flight change or cancellation and any other service you may need. Love this Airline and their App!
  19. [R66] Fly Delta 5/5 · US Fantastic app. Get it: Do not screw this app up! Great communication from delta to your phone. I’m sure if they could carry you to the terminal the app would. Fast comms when you need to see your gate. Love this app!!!!
  20. [R72] Fly Delta 5/5 · US Such a wonderful user experience: This is simply a wonderful app. I recently experienced 3 flight delays due to thunderstorms across the east coast. The Delta app immediately sends me a gate change update via the mobile app and text message. It has the most accurate flight information, so I don’t have to read the possibly outdated flight boards at the airport. I love how easy it is to access board
  21. [R80] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 5/5 · US #4 Mixed BBQ Plate: I had that plate for the first time today. It was a good portion of food and everything was fresh . I really enjoyed the meal.
  22. [R83] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 5/5 · US Bomb . COM: My fave food of all time !!
  23. [R85] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 5/5 · US Ya: Great food plenty of sauce mince sodas, always does the job good pick if it’s just you or the whole family, I just the would come with a different way to store sticky rice. 9/10
  24. [R87] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 5/5 · US Great food and service: Food is always delicious and on point. Customer service very friendly and helpful
  25. [R94] Hawaii News Now 3/5 · US Very touchy app for live news: The app is very touchy on iPhone and iPad when watching live. One wrong move or touch on my device and I lose the live and have to go back. The mandatory ads that pop up first mean I miss a chunk of news. Today the audio is about 30 seconds ahead of the video. Never would I rely on their weather app since they can’t even get the news app sorted out.
  26. [R98] Hawaii News Now 3/5 · US Glitchy: App does not always work. Live feed does not load. I have been going to other news stations to get local news in the morning.
  27. [R100] Hawaii News Now 3/5 · US Inconsistent function.: The app is so inconsistent with the livestream feature. Usually the livestream function never works. I appreciate the interface updates, but for folks who do not have local tv access, the livestream is needed and needs to be fixed.
  28. [R79] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 1/5 · US Impossible to login: Cannot login after app requires relogin. Password reset does not work and yes I did check spam. Guess I’ll take my money elsewhere.
  29. [R82] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 1/5 · US Broken app, needs fixing: Their app used to work fine but recently, it’s having issues. If you’re logged in to the app, it will not load pages. You only see a white background. You cannot place an order. The same issue occurs on other restaurant app that this developer made (California fish grill). Needs fixing ASAP.
  30. [R84] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 1/5 · US Absolute Trash: App is so inconsistent. I can't login to current account, won't allow password reset, won't allow to create new account. Basically, I don't think they want people to order from them. I can login on a computer, but can't edit personal info (ie phone # change) , it prompts to go through the app. And then cycle just continues.
  31. [R88] Ono Hawaiian BBQ 1/5 · US Your app is broken. Please fix it: The app completely glitches and breaks down every time I login in to my account on my smartphone. Please fix it because it’s very annoying.
