### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2024-05-07, version 1.9.5*

Worst app I’ve ever used. Totally useless, cannot redeem miles, cannot book flights.

### 1/5 — Designed by an F Student!

*2024-02-09, version 1.9.5*

First time reviewing an app
To the developer: 
Please use the OS keyboard!
I cannot paste text into any of the text fields
I cannot enter the date in the “claim miles” section. It allows me to pick a date (from your custom date selector) but it doesn’t enter the date in the date field! So it’s impossible to enter a date and there cannot use the app to claim for miles!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-09-16, version 1.9.4*

The app does not work. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2023-01-02, version 1.9.4*

Why must we as South Africans be shamed by this incredibly pathetic app. Please rather remove the app, it embarrasses its creator, SAA and every South African having to use it

### 1/5 — Utterly disgusting

*2022-10-24, version 1.9.4*

This is the first time I have ever written a review on anything but this app is so bad I couldn’t stop myself. I have tried on multiple occasions to access the app to access my miles, resetting my password and starting to wonder if it is intentionally designed to be not accessed! Don’t waste your time and not worth the frustration. Is there any way to rate this called “app” as zero stars?

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2021-12-05, version 1.9.3*

Like the voyager website this app doesn’t work. Crashes frequently occur on navigating the app. Emails are not answered. The only way to access the miles appears to be the phone.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2020-02-06, version 1.7.1*

Useless

### 1/5 — About 10 years out of date!

*2019-12-05, version 1.6.3*

A more useless app I haven’t seen for a long time. No one in their right mind would release such a basic outdated bit of technology! Whoever approved the expenditure on this embarrassing piece of low tech rubbish should be fired along with the developers. No wonder SAA is bankrupt. Yet another example of “ jobs for pals “! A disgrace.

### 1/5 — Outdated App design

*2019-10-18, version 1.5*

Please update this App to international Airline standards. This App is simply unacceptable when compared to other airline App that are actually useable. Why does SAA have a separate booking App? That’s App is worse.

### 1/5 — Waste of storage on my phone

*2019-10-04, version 1.0.2*

An app in general is usually meant to be a more user friendly version of the website. Well jokes on us- this app is terrible. Stick to the website until someone fixes this slow outdated user-problematic site!

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2019-07-14, version 1.0.2*

I suggest that our friends at SAA copy an app from the likes of Virgin or Singapore Airlines. Whoever is responsible for the latest abortion is clearly not a traveller or have very little experience in development. Nothing about this app was thought through or designed in structure. Find someone qualified to do the job and at least give the users - something that works !

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading

*2019-07-08, version 1.0.2*

It hardly works, I can’t sign in most of the time but yet the other app or website my username and password works.  It pretty much like the service from our national carrier: gross incompetence

### 1/5 — Get it right!!!

*2019-04-22, version 1.0.1*

I was part of your Beta test, but clearly you did not read it. Wow, it is 2019 and you bring out an app that badly designed. May I suggest that you download the Emirates App and try and get as close as possible. I am a LT Platinum member and this is an insult to me....not even my status is right. No digital card, no immediate redemption for upgrade or booking BUT worst of all, why ????? would you separate miles from flights, trips, future bookings...my travel life?
And lastly - no biometric login? Quick reminder....it is 2019.

### 1/5 — Not useful at all

*2019-03-14, version 1.0.1*

I looked forward to this app but it has failed spectacularly in the execution 

1. It’s not really an app
2. Forces you to log in with your membership no and PIN. No facial recognition or other method of opening it
3.The only real function is to check your points accrual, but then again, it doesn’t show activity after 30 days, which limits it usefulness 
4. The rest is just fluff, with no functionality 
5. It doesn’t show upcoming bookings 
6. No ability to make a booking 

All in all, it is a non functional, clumsy attempt at an app and is most disappointing

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-03-08, version 1.0.1*

Poorly designed, pretty useless app. It forces you to login every time, Voyager number and PIN, but does not let you copy and paste. No ability to see transactions beyond 30 days. None of it matters, anyway, as SAA never acknowledges the miles I earn.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-03-08, version 1.0.1*

Another terrible product from a terrible company. 

If anyone is looking for how not to consider a customer’s actual needs when launching a digital proposition then this is a case study for the years. Unbelievable that this made it out of QA.

### 1/5 — Rewards ????

*2019-03-06, version 1.0.1*

This is the worst app I have come across for years. 

I cannot even find where there rewards are (eg. how many miles I need to redeem a rental voucher) - an app needs to be intuitive this is unacceptable - really badly designed.

Any why is it not part of the SAA app - I had to call the contact Center to find that out: costing me and SAA

### 1/5 — Should not be a standalone app

*2019-03-06, version 1.0.1*

This should not be a standalone app but rather part of the main SAA app as most other airlines have done with their frequent flier programs. 

The app is also very slow and the UI feels like a school project.

### 1/5 — Booking issue

*2019-03-05, version 1.0.1*

All fine and dandy you have an app but how do I book flights through this app?

### 1/5 — Poor functionality

*2026-06-13, version 2.1.7*

One of the worst airline apps around

### 1/5 — Terrible design

*2026-05-25, version 2.1.2*

It’s like they never used their app before publishing it.

### 1/5 — Voyager

*2026-03-28, version 1.9.5*

App keeps quitting

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional app

*2025-12-05, version 1.9.5*

This app needs to be redesigned 
It’s not logging in
It looks outdated 
It’s slow and dysfunctional

### 1/5 — App Needs UPDATE

*2025-12-01, version 1.9.5*

App is not designed for latest IOS software and has a lot of bugs

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2025-09-28, version 1.9.5*

SAA Voyager app is one of the most frustrating apps I’ve encountered it almost never works, the difficulty just to see or claim missed miles is insane
Please whoever your developer is fire them hire someone new and show them how LATAM Airlines app works by far the most reliable and easy to use app from a lot of airlines they are so good by the time you’re airplane touches down your information is updated.

Come on SAA you can’t be lagging like this !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-09-28, version 1.9.5*

Never worked

### 1/5 — Nothing works Login constantly fails even after pin reset

*2025-08-17, version 1.9.5*

The app is probably abandoned and not usable at all. The website login will only work once or twice before locking customers out permanently. The contact details are not a valid email address. What is the point?

### 1/5 — Deeply Frustrating

*2025-07-07, version 1.9.5*

This app need to be redesigned for the purposes and intentions of what an airlines miles app should be. Everything that is explained Ito what one can do with the miles doesn’t feature on the app. In fact, I “login failed” is the almost permanent message I get, particularly after I travel when I want to check my miles. This is how one forfeits miles because of technical glitches like this. Please fix this, it’s highly frustrating as you NEVER respond to emails.

### 1/5 — Fails at the basics

*2025-06-20, version 1.9.5*

Unfortunately, the app fails to open. Like its service, the App is from the 80’s.

## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great new look

*2026-04-22, version 2.1.1*

I love the new look. All the important information now readily available on the dashboard. And much easier to navigate too.
