This stumped me, too, until my eyes "zoomed out". It's there but requires several steps. When you get into the flight (or segment you want to research if multiple segs. on the same flt. #), some buttons will appear at the very bottom, dark portion of the screen. Some may be dimmed but they will work. Select the "Standby List" button. Another screen will appear for that list and on that screen, about mid-screen, there's a button for "Upgrade List". Touch that and the u/g list appears. There are several other buttons at the bottom of the earlier screen giving other helpful info such as food provisioning, seat map and, under Flight Detail, the a/c #.

Thanks for the suggestion,but on mine it still does not work.
Flight detail is bright,seat map is dimmed,but works and then the remaining buttons are simply dark and do not function at all.
This appears to be a good app-I hope they work out the bugs

I agree...But with all apps, there needs be some "tweaking" over time.
Finally, a change that I like Jeff....In the spirit of it being baseball season...if we can get another good change tomorrow (or the next change that is made)...and the one after that is ^ as well...that is what they call a winning streak...something UA hasn't seen in awhile....

Hopefully they just commented out the code because of the integration and will release it again in the next update.

Don't know how well the u/g list meshes with UA's proprietary software which drives the DM list or gate displays, but these lists can be accessed for upcoming flights within the next 1-2 days whether you're booked on the flight or not.
All in all, the app is much faster than the UA mobile webpage I was using before today.
One glitch in trying out the App's booking engine: If you look for a same-day R.T., and set the time-of-day paramaters too narrowly, such as "early morning" for outbound and "early afternoon" for return flights, you may get a "data not found" return. Workaround seems to be to just select "anytime" for both flights.

I may be missing something but while my account details are accurate the app does not show any of my seven upcoming reservations. If UAInsider is around please let me know what I can do to remedy this issue. I love the idea of being able to see my place on the upgrade list though!

F seat remaining availability doesn't seem supported in this version. One can only roughly guesstimate by looking at the unassigned seats in the premium class seatmap.

One suggestion I have is to ensure all buttons, including the refresh are a good size so that it is easy to read and click on when walking/running through airport.
Otherwise looks great. When you book a flight using the app, does it use your registered credit card details, or ask for them? Curious because it is always a hassle as an Aussie, and I'd prefer it to be pre-authed..

I also have this problem. I have a reservation of which is not showing up in Upcoming Reservations.

It looks like if I input my MP account login, only my UA reservations show (and vice-versa).

I've been able to see all my upcoming Reservations via either of these steps: sign on, and then on the home screen, tap the "Reservations" choice. Or choose "My Account". At the far bottom of the screen, tapping a dimmed button reading "Upcoming" brings them up. Once you do either of these, a summary list of Itineraries should (also) appear on the Main menu page.
I tried this with my account and that of my non-status spouse and all of mine/hers were properly displayed. Have the VZ iPhone 4, running 4.2.6
