Last international trip was in December to Japan and no issues with using the travel ready center in advance of check in - though all flights were on United (no codeshares or other complications).

What other bugs are you impacted by? I haven't noticed any with all of the new features and quite regular usage.
I’ve had issues all over the app. Checking flight status, changing seats. It just stalls out. Sometimes if I X out it will continue. Just really frizzy and and unreliable.
