How do you search for R availability on the mobile app? I am almost certain I've done this before but I cannot figure out how to do it for the life of me.

Not sure if you can - I end up just using the browser and going to the full site. A PITA.

I don't think you ever could.

It would be nice and very easy to show. Just put a star or change the background color or a dozen or more other ways to highlight those flights which have R/RN (the app knows if your 1K or not) in your search results.

Not a big deal really.

I must be going crazy, could have sworn I've done it before. I'm not sure what's worse bad memory or me imagining I've done it lol

After an upgrade to a 5S, the app got updated too

I tried what you suggested both via the App Store app and iTunes. No joy. The old version 1.0.31 app was not there anywhere that I could find. And it's not in my Recycle Bin either (Confession: it WAS in my Recycle Bin, but I ham-handedly hit "Restore to Original Location" and now I don't know where it went )

So, would anyone be willing to email me a copy of their 1.0.31 ipa file and I can see if I can get it that way? PM for email address.

TIA!

UPDATE:

I figured out how to do it All is now well and reverted.

ETA: I'd be happy to email the .ipa file for version 1.0.32 to anyone who wants to revert.

I just installed the United App on my Ipad... is this the EXACT same app that I would get if I installed it on my Iphone?

I have an older version of the app on my phone that I like. A few months ago I updated it with a new version and absolutely hated it! Luckily I had the old version backed-up on my computer and was able to restore it. But now the old version won't let me book flights... it crashes. Boarding passes, flight status and most other things work well.

I've had a few times where the App on my iphone won't update a changed gate on the boarding pass. I pull it down and get the wheel icon saying it is updating and then nothing- while people around me with iPhones are getting the gate change. It can be 10 minutes and it still hasn't changed. Happened in ORD and DEN. I almost missed the boarding of a RJ in DEN because it went from the 50s to 900 .

On the DEN one, even if I tried to update it- no change. It only updated after I killed the app and brought it back.....

I take a lot of one day trips (2 flights out one day, 2 flights back the next). It is very common for the last boarding pass of the trip to disappear from Passbook. I think it gets overwritten by one of the earlier ones.
I had the boarding pass for my first segment disappear after getting an upgrade on a later segment, which of course caused the ticket to get out of sync (), and apparently the boarding pass to disappear. Kind of annoying to walk up to security and realize you don't have a boarding pass. Luckily, I had a saved image on my iPad, but it is somewhat unwieldy with the scanners; guess I will have to start saving an image on my phone.

And it's for this very reason that I still carry a printed copy of all my boarding passes-yes I know, not being green but if it's a choice of being green or being sent back to the counter/chicken to get a printed bp where if I do the latter I run the risk of missing my flight, I'll take a printed bp every time

Is it just me or did the latest update to the iphone app break it. It suggested I log out and log back in to enhance my experience. It then repeated the suggestion everytime I attempt to log in and won't let me do anything else.

Sigh!

Yup, same for me. Logged out and now get the same error message every time I try to log back in:
Welcome to the new United app. To ensure the best experience, please sign out and sign in again

I downgraded to a previous version and finally managed to get logged back in.

I would hold off on the latest upgrade, or at least don't log out until another upgrade or two.

APP/ipad issues

I have used my APP for over 8 months now on my ipad and has always worked perfectly. Today, when I go to "My Activity" I get the "please wait" it cycles, times out, I get a black screen, then it goes to my home page of my ipad?

Has anyone else encounted this?

Happy Holidays and Safe Travels
