## Review summary

Reviews praise the United Airlines Android app for being easy to use, fast, and providing useful information. However, users frequently complain about a painful check-in experience (hard-to-find button, slow process, and forced credit card at check-in), unclear or costly baggage policies (fees for carry-on and bags), and poor customer service. There are also repeated frustrations with itinerary changes and meal modifications within the app. Overall, the app is user-friendly but hampered by checkout, billing, and service issues.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user-friendly interface.
- Fast, smooth app performance.
- Offers useful information and is easy to understand.
- Very simple and self-explanatory.

### Cons

- Difficult and painful check-in flow (hard-to-find check-in button, lengthy or redundant process, often requiring a credit card at check-in).
- Baggage fees and carry-on policy confusion/charges.
- Poor customer service and difficulty getting answers.
- In-app limitations when modifying reservations (unable to change flights or meals easily; frustration with meal options).
