There seems to have been another Android App "update" that further reduces functionality, it really is a pile of crap. Of course you can't actually check in using the check in button on the home screen, so that hasn't been fixed. But they have done some more tinkering such that now even the work around of going to MMB won't work. You can check in - once you have logged in that is, and confirmed that you have the consent of all the passengers on the one person booking, and gone through a screen that now unnecessarily shows your API - but you can't actually download your boarding pass and take a screenshot of it for Google Wallet (or similar). A nice-looking download button appears and you're invited to "select all" of the one passengers for whom you require a boarding pass. And then nothing happens. After several presses you get taken back a screen, to where you started, inviting you to check in....

In any other company this would result in people getting fired. What morons code this, and who actually checks that basic functionality actually works? To all intents and purposes the Android App is useless other than to see what time your flight leaves and from where.
