1. The entire top and the right side of the bottom of the screen is travel news and advertisements. No problem with that, I understand that USA Today is a for-profit organization. But the actual "MileTracker" part of the program is squeezed into a bottom left corner of the screen, and I found that it takes a lot of scrolling and minimizing/maximizing the screen size to input all the data, and then seeing all the results at once is pretty much impossible unless you print out the table.

2. I also don't see any option for checking all accounts with one click, as the old MileTracker did. I seem to have to click on each account separately in order to update it. Am I missing something? With the old MileTracker, it was really convenient to click on "Check All" and update all accounts in an instant.

Non-mile content only takes up the top quarter of my screen, once I resized it. Top left has "latest travel news". Top right is blank - various blocking programs must be working.

I resized mine to stretch fully top-to-bottom and it just squeeze in all 17 accounts.

As mentioned above, the "Update Account Balances" buttons updates everything, as does clicking on any "Check" (despite the title "Single check", which used to check only the one line).

I'd rather not have the minimal advertising, but it does what I need and I won't feel bad not paying a shareware developer.
