My general experience with AA is quite positive, but their app is actually one of my single biggest issues that they don't seem to care about (excl. they don't care about their NYC passengers). The app doesn't need a facelift, it needs a complete overhaul.
UA’s app shows you how many are on then upgrade list, how many are checked in, how many seats are free. It’s quite nice. Much better than bothering the lounge AAngels with it when I check in.
