Deleted and reinstalled only to receive the previous version. Will not allow me to submit a correct bid. Please replace with current version. ### 2/5 — Unable to bid customer *2025-06-17, version 7.34.13* Fix your update. The circle just spins….all other apps updated except yours. ### 3/5 — App Freezes when using multiple sorts *2024-09-12, version 7.33.89* When selecting various days of the week to sort by, the app will freeze. Have to close out the app and restart, which results in losing your last sort. Running iPad Pro with updated application version and current IOS. ### 2/5 — Updates updates updates *2023-10-06, version 7.33.68* You know, this is a great app. But I am tired of being forced to download updates every single time I use it. ### 4/5 — Biometric access would make this app 5 stars *2023-03-06, version 7.33.58* Biometric access please! ### 3/5 — Buggy. Needs improvements. *2022-10-09, version 7.33.48* This app is a great tool. Must be updated before EVERY bidding cycle. So be sure to update it before trying to access the bid packet. Any time you look away from the app, it will make you reboot, once you get the main screen up it will ALWAYS check for subscription, and god forbid you are on the plane! You will never get to look at the bid packet. Stop checking subscription each time you open the app. Sometimes you can submit bids in flight sometimes you can’t. This app needs to rely LESS on internet connectivity once the bid packet is downloaded so we can use the app during flight. My other gripe is once you add lines to your bid there is no way to group select if you want to move a set of lines you must click each line twice in the selection circle, one by one. You can’t hold and highlight several lines to move them. Once awards are out, when you are on the award page and click to check awarded line, if you X out and go to the main awards page… sometimes you get stuck there and cannot click the x to close the awards, or the arrow to check a new awarded line… you must close the app and reopen it. I love the filters, they are very useful once you can learn how to manipulate them to your advantage. Overall the app is useful but can be very frustrating when you are not on the ground, I feel it should rely LESS on constantly “subscription checking” and should just load once it’s checked your subscription the first time and the packet is downloaded. A lot of people using this app must have access to this tool while in the air. ### 4/5 — I love it! *2021-06-26, version 7.33.14* So easy to use! I would give it all 5 stars but wish I could pinch zoom the bid lines so I do not need magnification or to pull up the trip! I go for earlier return I have to tap on each trip to see the time it returns. But I doubt I could go back to ebs ### 2/5 — Bring back annual subscription *2021-02-12, version 7.33.5* I would much prefer annual billing with a reduced rate as opposed to month to month. Please bring this option back. ### 5/5 — Sweet App *2019-11-06, version 7.24.1* Great app for SWA bidding — many easy to use filters and sorts. ### 3/5 — Updates are getting old. *2019-10-07, version 7.23.11* Love he program but the updates are getting very old ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Issues *2026-02-02, version 7.35.91* I update app and the try to sign into app but it tells me to update app. IT IS UPDATED!!! Please fix. ### 1/5 — New Update *2025-07-04, version 7.34.15* The app isn’t working for the new update. Terrible software issue right before bid is due. ### 1/5 — Buggy. Needs improvements. *2024-10-04, version 7.33.90* This app is a great tool. Must be updated before EVERY bidding cycle. So be sure to update it before trying to access the bid packet.

Every month I have a different issue with this app. Going to cancel and do the old school way much easier. ### 1/5 — Unable to submit *2020-10-15, version 7.32.5* Getting error message unable to submit. States that I am not a flight attendant ### 1/5 — Constantly updating necessary *2020-10-14, version 7.32.4* Every time I go to bid, literally 100% of the time, this requires app updates. Once in a while is understandable, however every time is frustrating, especially for a paid subscription. ### 1/5 — Updates *2020-02-08, version 7.28.0* So tired of needing an update every month. Plug in all my info and bang ANOTHER update. TELL ME BEFORE I PLUG IN ALL MY INFO. TOO MANY UPDATES. ON EACH MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS. STOP THE CONSTANT UPDATES JUST STOP ### 1/5 — Too many updates *2020-02-05, version 7.28.0* Too many updates ### 1/5 — Updates *2019-10-08, version 7.23.11* Why in God’s green earth do we have to put in all our information only to be told every month (feels that way) that there is a new update that I am required to complete? Enough to make me want to kick the dog. Maybe it’s just easier doing it on the company bidding. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s FREE *2026-01-05, version 7.35.26* Finally, thanks so much for considering us. Bid is way easier with this app and I just love it. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-06-07, version 7.33.82* This app makes my life better. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-04-01, version 7.33.79* App is great and so much easier ! ### 5/5 — Wish list *2024-03-04, version 7.33.78* Works great.. I wish we could buddy bid ### 5/5 — Best way to bid, hands down! *2023-02-04, version 7.33.57* Updated review after years of using. I STILL feel the same way. This is the best, most useful & beneficial app I have. All these reviews bemoaning having to update every month are ridiculous. Do people not understand the updates happen because of compatibility issues with company policies & changes? What a bunch of crybabies. Good golly. CrewBid is absolutely the best way to bid for Southwest crew members. There is a little bit of a learning curve to get the hang of how everything works, but once the system is learned, there are so many benefits. There are so many filtering and sorting options built in that it’s possible to pull up pretty much limitless combinations of preferences without having to stare for hours at your screen, writing down possible choices and making your brain hurt. This app does the work for you. Bidding has never been easier for me & I get much better lines because of it. The only problem with it as far as I’m concerned, is that I didn’t think of it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-10-08, version 7.33.48* Even as a professional complainer, I have a hard time finding anything wrong with this app. Most of the 1 star reviews are due to frequent updates to the app. These people leaving poor reviews are lazy ignoramuses. It takes 2 seconds to update the app, and I would guess many of the updates are due to ham-fisted SWA I.T. changes that require app changes. ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-07-11, version 7.33.16* Sometimes crashes doing award bid sort…must close all apps and restart iPad. Other than that, it’s pretty easy and seems to be getting more functionality. ### 5/5 — Ever changing WORLD *2020-08-04, version 7.30.16* Ok so yes there is an update almost every month..... this WORLD is ever changing EVERY DAY!!! I have been using this app since its inception, and I have never in 22 years got this much pay (pre Corona Virus Of course) on my vacation EVER! And the customer service is AMAZING!!!!! He has called me from wherever in the world as soon as absolutely possible!!! I will never give up my CREWBID! EVER! And the fact that it’s ‘in the family’ old school Southwest Airlines, it doesn’t get any better!! Get over the UPDATES!! It took me 20.5 seconds just now SERIOUSLY!?!? And no I’m never giving out his phone number because I didn’t save it and I don’t have permission BUT if he CAN and not flying an AIRPLANE, he will give you the exact same amazing customer service our company is legendary for!!! You won’t regret this app....awkward the first bid, BUT READ ALL OF THE TIPS AND TUTORIALS AND DONT PANIC LAST MNUTE FROM A HOTEL WITH HORRIBLE INTERNET!!! Anyways....the second month....I honestly don’t know how I lived WITHOUT IT!!! It’s AMAZING and allows a single mom more time with her son!!! ### 5/5 — Worth the Cost! *2020-05-05, version 7.30.8* Thanks for all the developer’s hard work keeping up during ‘rona 2020! I’m still very new to the company but this app makes it so simple to figure out all the good deals I can’t quite get yet. Love the hindsight feature of seeing what lines I could have gotten after bid award. Thanks for the work everyone! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2019-12-10, version 7.25.0* The ease of use and ability to work on my bids “offline” is indispensable. The sorts and filters are very specific... after you get familiar with them it makes bidding so much easier. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
