Just bad

I haven’t used it extensively but I know for sure it will barely load videos and will be very last for the most, so overall I would say to use a different app

Doesn’t work well

If ya have 4 hours for a 2 hour movie your good. The WiFi and the app on Southwest is terrible. I have new phone, updated app and still kept dropping movie to re stream. Maybe work out kinks before ya offer something ya can’t provide. Just thought.
