I had a little moan upthread about non-urgent notifications being overly dramatic. I'm still finding some of them to be annoying and unhelpful. Not just because they get in the way of actual time-sensitive messages, but because they're no longer accessible when I do want them.

Case in point: I got a bing!-bing!-bing! this morning about a minor aircraft change (A319 to A320 or similar) in May.

That message was of no value to me at the moment it popped up on my phone. But in order to be sure that I remember to check my seat assignment at some point I need to make a note for myself. Could the app not do that for me, for example by keeping change messages visible until I've read or acknowledged them?

My financial apps, for example, use red dots to alert me to messages I haven't yet dealt with. Supermarkets also let me know -- when I open their app -- that I've got new offers or coupons. This shouldn't be too hard for Flighty.
