### 1/5 — A year later still just as bad!

*2025-08-11, version 3.2.9*

Though I created an account on line, and was able to locate my flights that way, the app continually said if I didn’t see my flights, check my email, which got me nowhere. The chat function was zero help. Hope my flight experience will be better!

### 1/5 — The worst airline and app

*2025-03-04, version 3.2.9*

The worst airline and app. Portrays Portugal in a negative way. Shame on this company!

### 1/5 — Frustrated user

*2025-03-01, version 3.2.9*

Well to see reservations you need to create an account. And the app asked me too much info on address and birthday, the calendar for birthday starts today and you have to click hundreds times to get to your birthday (like, really?) and after all the struggles  “Unexpected error occurred” and account wasn’t created. What a horrible mess.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-12-09, version 3.2.0*

App doesn’t work. Will fly with another company.

### 1/5 — Horrible app… horrible airline

*2024-10-07, version 3.1.12*

I wish zero stars was an option; agree with previous reviews that developer should be fired. They would be better not having an app at all - it does almost nothing, never works, exits randomly, login process is a PIA. Airline isn’t any better.

As a public service announcement - if you are flying Azores / SATA, don’t bother with the app - worse than a waste of time! The only good thing is that you will hopefully land in the azores at some point which is a beautiful part of the world

### 1/5 — Boarding pass not showing up after check in

*2024-09-13, version 3.1.12*

I checked into my flight and went to access my boarding pass, but it won’t let me. It’s saying that I need to check in to access them, but I already have.

### 1/5 — Multiple people unable to create account

*2024-09-12, version 3.1.12*

A few of us tried to create an account and no one was successful. Every option turned on the app just says error with no explanation. Not really a good sign of a good product/ service if I were ever to be able to login

### 1/5 — The app is as bad as the airline

*2024-08-13, version 3.1.12*

Don’t expect this app to have any correct info. Flight was delayed 4 hours, still coming up as “on schedule”. Wasted a whole day in the airport when it all could have been avoided. This happened both ways.

### 1/5 — Totally waste of your time

*2024-07-03, version 3.1.12*

Seriously… what is the purpose of this app? All my previous reservations are gone now and when I try to re-enter them i get error msg or duplication of entry msg.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2024-06-29, version 3.1.12*

Horrible app. Says booking is duplicate, but doesn’t show any of the details for flights I’ve apparently duplicated.

### 1/5 — The worst airline/airline app EVER

*2024-06-20, version 3.1.12*

Remember when you download this app that you will be unable to get access to your boarding pass. You don’t even have the option to print it. A 3 year old could have done a better job developing an app.

The airline itself is also a complete nightmare to deal with so please beware. Near impossible to get in touch with. If you’re planning to visit the Azores, explore different airline options

### 1/5 — Terrible app, website is not much better

*2024-06-12, version 3.1.12*

I would literally freelance and make a better app and website if SATA gets in touch. It shouldn’t be this bad

### 1/5 — SATA App

*2024-06-06, version 3.1.12*

It does not work. Every time I enter the booking number it goes to a blank blue page!!!!

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-06-04, version 3.1.12*

This app is trash. First off, to make an account you have to enter your birthdate and you have to hit the back button by month until you hit your birth month and year. Super annoying. After logging in with the temporary password it is supposed to prompt you to create a new one. It doesn’t. I was able to check in on the website but I received no proof whatsoever that I checked in. No email, no texts, it doesn’t show up in the app. What a joke. Don’t even bother with this stupid useless app.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-12-14, version 3.1.10*

Did a 4 year old develop this app?

### 1/5 — Worse app and worse airline

*2023-11-25, version 3.1.10*

the app never allow you to log so unable to to do online check in via the apps and when doing check in at the counter my. They force you to check in Your carry on luggage’s even thought is under the right weight for carry-on and charge you $300 euro .. I have use the same carry-on luggage on multi different airlines and never have a issue.. I will never fly on this airline again

### 1/5 — Worst APP and AIRLINES

*2026-07-15, version 3.3.8*

The configuration of APP is cumbersome and extremely difficult to get any useful information.

SATA Airlines continues to score below standards. I purchased first class seats - 4 hours before flight I got an email stating my flight was cancelled from JFK to PDL. 

After going around the moon to find someone to speak with, they clarified and told me my first class seats were sold to someone else for more money.

This happened to my brother Retired USAF Colonel also flying with me. 

This is series of numerous incidents I have experienced with this airlines flying them for 20 years. 

Unfortunately it's the only airline that flies to where I am going. 

So BEWARE!!!.

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2026-05-20, version 3.3.8*

Anyone cares to improve this app????

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-05-03, version 3.3.8*

Can’t registrer - the flight doesnt appear on the app and we can’t contact the company.

### 1/5 — Impossible to registrer

*2026-03-11, version 3.3.6*

I can’t registre.

### 1/5 — Genuinely Awful

*2026-03-05, version 3.3.6*

I couldn’t even get past the create an account screen. You try to scroll and it’ll randomly open fields to enter information.

10 minutes later I finally click create account, and it says “error creating account”. No information as to why, not showing anything missing or incorrectly filled out.

Awful user experience.

### 1/5 — Cannot register

*2026-02-08, version 3.3.4*

Unable to register and is a must if you want to manage your flight

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-01, version 3.3.2*

This is the worst app I’ve ever used. The “Remember me” doesn’t work and I have to constantly login every week or two. The app won’t integrate with the website information: 1) If I made my reservation through the website, it NEVER comes up in the app and I have to manually update it; 2) at least 50% of the time I check in on the app, I have to reclaim my miles (I’m GoldSky, so that’s a lot of work on my end as I travel Azores Airlines a lot, and it happens about 25% of the time otherwise whether I book it myself or through a travel agent even when I’m not using the app, which is horrible customer service for its frequent fliers). Making reservations is very difficult. The app often doesn’t work if I have my VPN engaged, putting my phone at risk to disable the VPN to use the app. The UX is not intuitive and frustrating to use. I have complained to SATA directly about the app. Updates to the app are superficial at best. Looking forward to the Atlantic Connect Group takeover. There is tremendous productivity lost in terrible inefficiencies such as this app.

### 1/5 — Cannot register

*2025-11-26, version 3.3.2*

App installed fine, but unable to register - kept on asking for Country but would not accept Canada from pull down. Somebody fix this please!!

### 1/5 — Can’t register

*2025-11-11, version 3.3.2*

Apparently whomever sata hired to fix this app is useless.

### 1/5 — L’app a besoin d’une mise à jour pour devenir fonctionnel

*2025-09-05, version 3.3.0*

J’ai 4 vols reservés avec SATA à la fun du mois. CES vols n’apparaissent pas dans l’app, et quand j’essaye de les entrer manuellement je reçois l’avertissement qu’ils sont déjà inscrits.  

Quand j’essaye de contacter SATA via le lien dans l’app ça ne fonctionne pas, malgré plusieurs tentatives.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2024-03-05, version 3.1.12*

Was able to check in with no issues, made my azores airlines flights smooth and easy!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-05-30, version 3.0.0*

Great app thanks SATA it’s better than using the website for booking flights to azores in Portugal

### 5/5 — Good app!!

*2012-07-21, version 2.1.2*

I like it,I would like to see the app with the option to see where all the planes from Sata are in flight around the world.
Good job Sata!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2010-01-29, version 0*

Amazing app I used in a long time. MAKE AN AIR TRANSAT APP!

### 5/5 — Parabéns à sata

*2009-09-08, version 0*

Perfeito, parabéns à sata por esta aplicação grátis. Instalei no iPod sem problemas. Fantástico

### 4/5 — Was fairly straight forward to use and works as intended

*2026-06-26, version 3.3.8*

Looks like whatever issues they had before were mostly sorted.  Still a little clunky in places, but overall very helpful and useful to check in.

### 4/5 — Good solid app

*2011-12-22, version 2.1.2*

This is a well designed app for my favourite airline. I like the idea in displaying tempting pricing for popular destinations on the main screen. I give it 4 stars, reserving 1 for when even more content and improvements are applied. In the mean time, good job developers.

### 4/5 — SATA

*2009-12-24, version 0*

It's ok, but does not give to much info!
Better to look sata up on the web!

### 3/5 — Ok, Sorta

*2024-07-31, version 3.1.12*

Account setup requests substantially more information compared to competitors. Box selection is not user friendly, user experience needs improvement.

### 2/5 — You have to create an account to use - I’m only going to visit once

*2026-07-14, version 3.3.8*

You have to create an account to use - I’m only going to visit once - I’ll just go old school with paper tickets
