Major App Redesign and Mobile BP startng in AUS on 21 Nov
Sorry if I missed this being discussed before..
Just updated to version 2.0 of the Southwest iOS app. Major redesign. Looks nice. The release notes say all of the previous functionality remains. Hopefully it's a bit more usable.
The big news is that mobile boarding passes are going to start in Austin on Nov 21.

Finally! There are still a few key features missing from the app (such as viewing details of points earning/redemption), but it is a great improvement. Can't wait for Mobile Boarding Pass to come to PHX! ^

As a matter-of-fact, the old app remained logged-in to my RR account for months (years?) regardless of handset reboots, handset software updates, complete power-downs, etc. Updated to the new-and-improved SWA app just before noon today and found that I was "still logged-on" once the install completed (it apparently drug the old app logon along with the update). 4+ hours later and I am still logged-on. Sumsung Galaxy S4 on Sprint if that happens to matter.

Some nice improvements for the App but they took away the ability to search by airport code for booking and flight status.
