KAYAK iPhone

Hi SFflyer123,

I agree with #1 and #3 and we are making improvements to those.

For #2 (bad price for Swiss Air), please report these as you find them, using our feedback link (http://www.kayak.com/feedback/form on the web else the "Feedback" button in the iPhone app) and we will investigate and get back to you.

Airline availability accuracy is hard, given the underlying systems themselves often have stale or inconsistent data.

We do have automated and manual (internal and third party) testing done, but in addition, each specific report you guys give us (near "real time") helps us track down across these different systems.

3) The iphone version calendar (when choosing dates for flights) coudl be scrolled up just by pushing it, like when you push your photos. But instead, you can only advance with the arrows. Very inconvenient.

The last iteration of the kayak app on the iphone was better than this current one. I wish I had never "updated" the app.
