Well, Emirates pushed an App update yesterday and you now can manage your Emirates flight seat assignments and document/contact updates. Great to see!!
You still can not check in on-line using an Emirates confirmation code on their site/app if your first flight is not on Emirates. Hope this will change sometime soon.
I have been able to load on reservations and even AS awards and manage them seats etc. for a long time Yes there were glitches and of recent last year had one but over all no issues online. I do have a EK FF number as well.
