Horrendously bad

In general, awful design, certain IMPORTANT parts are only in Chinese. And it doesn’t even show the full itinerary when you add a trip.

Absolute garbage (and so is their website)

Not available in English

Images in App Store shows app using English, but it opens in Chinese on my phone and no apparent way to change it

Chinese only?

Downloaded app hoping to support purchase of flight LAX to HK. Opened app - everything’s in Chinese (which I have no knowledge of) no obvious way to toggle to English, yet the download page climes the primary language to be EN. What am I missing?

Needs to be redone

Won’t switch to English, can’t check in

千万别坐香港航空

能坐其他航班就别坐香港航空,真的垃圾中的垃圾

Everything is broken

Passport scan requires you to line up with passport chip, which I’ve never heard of on any other app. Also paying for a seat during check in causes payment failure and the system accuses you of checking in twice if you try again. The app is a total disaster.

Doesn’t Work

The app can’t find my flight, despite entering all the details correctly.

this app is trash

can do nothing at all,waste of time

can not retrieve the booking

useless

App does not work

It’s August 2025 and your mobile check in still does not work (am using iPhone).

I’m at an airport and everyone is queuing and nobody is taking the online check in lane as presumably all have the same issue.

Maybe, just maybe fix this? It would please customers and save the airline money

Unusable



Cannot check in

The app has a check in button but it literally does nothing. This is the essential function of an airlines app and they can’t even do that right

Can’t even to register

This app is a joke. Can’t register within the app. Never mind go any further. Kind of nervous to check in online when the time comes. Sigh!

Total rubbish can not check in

No matter I use app or Chrome or Edge I have no luck in getting through online check in, always bounce back at seat selection screen. Today is even worse for app, system error at first click, rubbish airline.

Awful app

Clumsy to use and if they post a notice or announcement on the app, there’s no cancel/clear button visible on a phone screen so renders the app unusable, which may be awkward if you’re trying to pass security!??

Limited usefulness

This app is useful only for purchasing reservations through HKA and tracking those bookings! If bookings are made by other airlines using HKA for connections, then the app is of no use for managing the flight segment on HKA. The app doesn't allow reservations to be entered using HKA confirmation number; only bookings with HKA ticket number starting with 851 can be entered

Unworkable

Requires individual signup and verification which I could only do on the web. Very difficult to sign in even then. Then once in, it said mobile checkin not allowed, when the web did it. Terrible verification system with unreadable fonts

Who designed this terrible App?

It makes you go round in circles. Create login, create password, enter ineligible auto generated code. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Don’t waste your time.

Not worth it

Ridiculous app, doesn’t even have choices for different national phone codes except HK and China

Inconvenient App Experience with Passenger Information and Account Sign-In

I recently used this app and wanted to share my experience. One of the features that caught my attention was the option to add additional passengers, such as children, when making value-added selections like seat selection. However, I encountered an issue where the app would not allow me to enter my child's information beyond the sign-in page. Surprisingly, I was able to enter the details on the website without any problems.

On the other hand, when I tried to sign in with both my child and myself on the website, it did not allow us to use a single account. This resulted in a situation where I had to book my seat through the app and my child's seat through the website. This caused a lot of effort, stress, and wasted time, not to mention the inconvenience of having two separate credit card transactions.

I sincerely hope that the developers address these issues and fix the app to ensure a smoother and more efficient user experience. It would greatly enhance the convenience and satisfaction of users like myself who rely on this app for travel bookings.
