## Review summary

Most reviews describe the WestJet Android app as unreliable and unstable. Repeated issues include crashes and input resets, booking/search stalls or blank screens after updates, and login/verification failures. Users also report inconsistent real-time flight updates, with gate changes and delays not reflected in the app. Several notes mention missing features like in-flight entertainment and overall poor UX, including slow performance. A minority mention cosmetic changes after updates, but the prevailing sentiment is dissatisfaction and a call for better reliability, real-time information, and responsive support.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability that cause pages to reload or inputs to reset (e.g., credit card details).
- Booking/search frequently stalls or shows a blank screen after updates, blocking purchases.
- Login and verification problems, including verification emails not being sent and authentication errors.
- Flight status updates are unreliable; gate changes and delays rarely reflect in the app.
- Missing or non-functional features (in-flight entertainment, live updates) and overall poor UX, with slow performance.
