★★★★ bad boy 5/6/2026 v8.5.0
update keeps crashing this latest release is terrible. Now I can't Check-in via app 😢
★★★★ Tate Wiley 5/5/2026 v8.2.1
Alaska joins with Hawaii and suddenly this App sucks!!!!
★★★★ Eric Churchill 5/4/2026 v8.4.0
The recent changes have made this app unusable. Every click wants you to set something up, log in again, etc.
★★★★ Jeff Layton 5/4/2026 v8.4.0
I don't enjoy using this app, mostly because nearly every time I open it I have to log back in even if I've told it to remember me. It's very frustrating.
★★★★ Cat 5/3/2026
Wasn't able to login at all. It never loaded the browser for authentication.
★★★★ Regina Paulsen 5/2/2026 v8.4.0
I just want to check in one bag and be done with this. one bag
★★★★ Jim Peters 5/1/2026
no biometrics for phone log in
★★★★ zoso zen 4/30/2026 v8.2.1
atmos ruined this app
★★★★ Jordan D 4/29/2026 v8.2.1
cannot login to app. app opens browser for login and does not redirect back to app.
★★★★ Alan Chen 4/28/2026
the app keeps signing out constantly and when you try to sign back in your device is already blocked because somehow there was too many login attempts
★★★★ quackaddict94 4/28/2026 v8.2.1
ever since the rebrand to atmos this app is horrible. you can't log in half the time where it never used to be a problem.
★★★★ Maureen Kane 4/28/2026 v8.2.1
This used to be such a good app before it got combined with Hawaiian. hard to log in, possible to stay logged in. Even though I tell it to give me notifications I never get any. Too many times I've been running across the airport because the gate has changed. I used to be notified of this and I used to be notified of late flights. I'm honestly considering flying a different airline because this app was what made it so easy.
★★★★ Rowena Wright 4/27/2026 v8.2.1
not user friendly, confusing and difficult to get it to go to the next step
★★★★ osloboso osloboso 4/27/2026 v8.2.1
it says there is an invalid certificate
★★★★ Kimberley Pool 4/27/2026
the app never works
★★★★ Chris Flint 4/26/2026 v8.0.0
still signs out all the time...
★★★★ L V 4/26/2026 v8.1.0
Horrible functionality! Logs out sometimes & can't log in. Can't be sure to to get boarding pass because it relies on Internet. Years ago, this app worked perfectly, no glitches very little lag, but it lacked features compared to the desktop online version. Gradually they added more features, but at the same time the app is having more and more issues. The last update has so much lag, and sometimes things don't work, that it's almost unusable. You have to force stop it and/or clear the cache.
★★★★ Julien Perelli 4/26/2026 v8.2.1
i cant even sign in the app not working i uninstall the app and download it again still the same can you fix it
★★★★ Candice Caldwell 4/25/2026 v4.28.0
Cheers to whomever it was who absolutely destroyed an efficient app. For at least 5 months now, this app will randomly lock you out so you have to create a new password or it just loops endlessly when you try to log in. The fact that this has not been fixed or addressed after months of so many bad reviews is scary.
★★★★ Alex Hayashi 4/25/2026 v8.2.0
literally doesn't work as I am trying to upload photo of my passport
★★★★ matt 4/24/2026 v8.2.0
will not let me add bags for check in.
★★★★ Chad Stobbie 4/23/2026 v8.2.0
Frequently gives errors with no helpful messages.
★★★★ Scott Sweet 4/23/2026 v8.2.0
this app and the Hawaiian app, ever since Alaska took over is completely broken. It literally does not function at all. You can't even search for flights or book anything. Delete it and uninstall, and choose a different airline.
★★★★ Michael Otani Sr 4/23/2026 v8.2.0
not easy to work withno
★★★★ Neil Lau 4/23/2026 v8.2.0
can't load app
★★★★★ David Allaway 5/3/2026 v8.2.0
App is ok, constant login to Atmos Rewards required whenever I open the app without biometric option. Incredibly annoying that I have to look up my login info whenever I need to do something.
★★★★★ Brendt M. 5/3/2026 v8.4.0
I like Alaska headlines but I hate the fact that when you check in it only checks in one person with TSA precheck no matter what you do no matter the office that they all say it's there. but when next time you check in it should be there and it's never there. check-in is a nightmare on Hawaiian airlines the whole system. the whole company is just messed up
★★★★★ Bill Pitts 5/2/2026 v8.4.0
Sucks to not be able to get to my PNR automatically with logging in! I have to have too much info even though I had already logged in to my account.
★★★★★ B Gentle 5/1/2026 v8.4.0
Constantly requires having to authenticate with a website login. Should have security built into the app as the existing website credentials handshake is a horrible design.
★★★★★ Mariesa Lenz 5/1/2026
Could this app be any worse? I have to go to a web browser to sign in, as a first interaction for a native app AND if I chose to track a flight, all the details from the preview disappear! Where did the gate info go?! Clearly something is not quite right on the development and product management side of this thing.
★★★★★ Leo Relin 4/29/2026
Have to pay for food, have to pay for 1st checked in baggage. The boarding passes downloads go through ad tracking. Airline services are just going down.
★★★★★ Jeff Jewett 4/28/2026 v8.2.1
S L O W! The new app takes a long time to cycle between operations.
★★★★★ Gabriel Prout 4/25/2026 v8.2.1
April 2026 EDIT: Still trash. force logs you out and you lose all custom namings of your itenerary (work trip, vacation). Needs to be built from the ground up. For an airline that does so much right, I expect more from their app. Lags, freezes, errors galore. Absolute trash and beyond frustrating to use. Absolutely asinine design. I shouldn't have to start a new search when switching between my current trips tab and then back to the tickets I am looking at booking. Needs to be fixed immediately.
★★★★★ Shari H 4/24/2026 v8.2.0
only worked if I only wanted to check in. when I tried to add baggage, it would not load
★★★★★ Edward Dolan 4/24/2026 v8.2.0
Edit: Even with the error I got checked in, but adding the bag still didn't work, so I have to do that seperately. Review: Can't check in with the app. Error "having trouble loading checkout". Website has the same error. Please have someone who knows how to program fix your website/app or let Hawaiian be there own airline again. App/website does not work. Also, there is no way to earn miles anymore.
★★★★★ DJ Vittetow 4/24/2026 v8.2.0
Sucks. I tried to add a bag early and 'save' some cash, but the app doesn't work, just keeps saying refresh or go back.
★★★★★ Alyson Easton 4/23/2026 v8.2.0
Terrible, no instructions for first time user s just terrible
