Why is the United App such a disaster for international travel

Got a trip overseas. Days ago I entered all my docs. Got all the green checks and was deemed travel ready.

Go to check in today. Have to start all over. It starts with a REAL ID reminder? Seriously? ...udge?

Move on to verifying my Passport, which I did days ago.

Get to the upload for my VISA, and the apple phone app goes white screen. Try to use my iPad and when I get to the VISA upload, it crashes out and closes the app.

All for stuff I’ve done already.

The iPhone app has been a complete mess lately. It hangs all the time when trying to access new screen or options. Trying to change flights two weeks ago just crashed and I had to call in. THe united App

Now I get a text message to check in for my flight. Really, no crap. What have I been trying to do for the last 20 minutes.
