Now I need to click on sign in, authenticate, and am then taken to the full web version with the inefficient data entry design that I always hated about the full version. For example, you need to manually delete the entire default airport name instead of just the 3-letter abbreviation. This is really cumbersome and reduces the usability of EF on my phone.
Is there still a mobile version?

The new design uses essentially the same back end, with (I assume) style sheets to adjust the user interface for a mobile screen (size / touch / etc.). This is very common and not bad in itself. But I would like two things...
- The mobile URL should not get a 404 not-found error. It should at a minimum just redirect to the right page.
- Please, on mobile devices at least, remember that you are logged in and don't require new login (until after some timeout period).
The above would go a long way to improve the experience on mobile devices.
Thanks.
Thank you all for the feedback! We will work on the above. Totally agree that you should not have to log in every time you access the website on your phone. We have it set up to last for longer but need to look into why that's not working as intended. We'll also fix the mobile URL redirect. In regards to the airport entry, we just found a small bug that doesn't allow quick delete of the airport name. We can fix this. We'll report back once we have a clear timeline in sight.
Just FYI, we also just pushed a few other fixes:
- We fixed an issue that was showing mismatched aircraft types only in some aircraft change alerts.
- There was a small bug that would immediately fire seat alerts for blocked seats. This has now been fixed.
- Additional updates to error messages to provide more details as to reason for error.
