Classic example of “pwede na” mentality.
This app is an exercise in frustration. Navigation is not logical. PAL relies on its catchy product names which cause confusion as to what are until you’re familiar with them.
Worse, the app is not really ready for public consumption. It constantly asks for cookie approval virtually every screen. App display brightness seems to be independent of device screen brightness settings, but of course you can’t change the app’s brightness. Some screens are suddenly bright, then others go back to device display settings.
Logging in doesn’t seem to do anything. You still have to input flight bookings. I received a notice of flight change nearly 12 hours after receiving the email announcing the change. That led to time wasted trying to figure out what the change was, before realizing that the app’s notification was just extremely late.
I removed the app, it was so useless.Developer Response

App barely works. I try to log in, it says taking longer than the usual. I try to check in, it says taking longer than the usual. Never had so much issues with an airline app before. It’s taking so much of my time. Time that can be spent on other things. Don’t have issues like this with other airline appsDeveloper Response

The mobile boarding pass is not reliable specially when you have a connection. Better ger a paper version!
First time I tried using this app’s mobile boarding pass for my trip 8/1/24 trip itinerary DVO-PPS with connection in Mnl, thus Dvo to Mnl to Pps and thus two boarding passes, one for Dvo-Mnl and another boarding pass Mnl-PPS: the mobile boarding pass was only available in the app for my Dvo-Mnl leg of the itinerary, its no longer available in the app during the Mnl-Pps leg. The booking itinerary is already marked as “Past trip” and thus you can no longer access the boarding pass.Developer Response
