If your first segment is US-operated you have no reason to check in with AA.
The US mobile site, m.usairways.com, has given me better results than the Android app.

While I occasionally do the mobile thing now and again, I'm still a big fan of paper. It allows me to keep my phone in my bag during PreCheck and boarding.

I had an iten earlier this year that was AA booked on AA ticket, but had a few US segments mixed in.
I downloaded the US app, entered the record locator, and used them there without an issue. I did not try the AA app for those flights.
The US app has some cool stuff, I liked the bag tracking feature.

I did print a bp but it's not the lack of cool-it's a pain. Had to leave my room go to the lounge and find a printer. Mobile bp is just so much more convenient.

You can just use a kiosk at the airport to get a paper BP, particularly easy and worry-free if you've already checked in.

doesn't work so well when you tend to go late to the airport and every minute matters. plus, i've found the kiosks stop spitting out boarding passes 30 mins before departure and often don't arrive that early.

You need to register US Airwaysmobile app with your email address PRIOR to check in
Click the Widget/Settings icon and choose "Update Email" under boarding passes and click submit
Open youe email (that same email address) and click the link to verify that email address for use on mobile boarding passes
If you ALREADY checked in, then just re-check in on the mobile app and it WILL capture the boarding pass in the "Boarding Pass Wallet"

I've not used the USairways app, but the AA app is pretty straightforward and will add your mobile boarding pass to the passbook app on your iPhone. This is an older video, but the processes is basically the same for the new iOS and updated AA app: http://youtu.be/8uaWFCDA_5E

If you are flying from LAX on US Express (i.e. from the remote terminal), arriving less than 30 minutes before departure is risky - understatement - no matter what kind of BP you have.

For iOS passbook, you don't don't even need the app. Check-in one website, and select mobile BP option. The email will have a link to add to passbook.

I don't have a stamp on my BP. I just had them look at my passport when checking my bag at the counter and at the gate upon boarding the TATL segment.

Not sure when it happened, but I was surprised to be offered a mobile boarding pass for CHS today. Seems the list is a lot longer then last I looked.
