I have exactly this also. The progression over the past 12 months has been: - Different versions of the boarding pass via different paths through the app
- Tier Status disappeared off the boarding pass (causing headache at third-party lounges)
- Fusing 2 boarding passes (seat from one, flight details from another, who knows what in the QR code.)
- Unable to see the seat map in the app, blocked by popups etc.
- Now cannot generate any boarding pass in the app, reduced to downloading the PDF and zooming it on the phone.
- Clearing Cache, Data, and even reinstalling do not fix any of it. The App just plain doesn't work.
Oh and did you know about the change to "The British Airways Club"? ... me too, because various screens in the app display the pop-up over and over regardless of how many times I "Dismiss" the message.
I would be personally embarrassed to be in any way involved with the development or maintenance of this app. This is fundamentally bad software development.

Just to say my experience has been identical to this, every bullet point, same frustrations, same outcome. I thought I was going mad and it was just me!
Until Christmas Eve, the online check-in process through the app would be painful, and usually take up to an hour for each stage to complete and a boarding pass to be finally generated (without showing status as above) but with perseverance, going in and out via Manage Booking instead of the home screen etc it would eventually work.
On Christmas Eve, after several hours I was eventually able to check-in but nothing worked to actually generate a boarding pass in the app, despite trying c.50 times, logging out and back in, clearing the cache, reinstalling etc. So had to leave my friends earlier than otherwise to check-in at the airport. Not the end of the world on a quiet day at Glasgow but could be incredibly frustrating at a busy outstation.
Even yesterday, I couldn't even run a few simple searches for flights to / from Newcastle as after the first attempt the app just kept throwing back the "something went wrong" message. And of course don't get me started when typing airport codes / names into said search continues to throw up illogical suggestions first (FRA for Frankfurt lists everywhere in FRAnce, GLA lists Charlotte DouGLAs and Dhaka Hazrat Shahjalal Intl, BanGLAdesh first etc).
Oh for an app like Ryanair's, easyJet's, AA's, Alaska's etc which all have excellent functionality and work first time every time!
