Pretty sure this update was to catch iOS up to Android

Wow, wasn't the last substantive update to the Android app months ago?

If you use tracked, you click the menu top left, Your flights, then tracked you can see whatever you are tracking one one screen and just add flights.

Of course, you used to get about 8 segments per screen and now get 1.5.
As you say, if you use booked you have to tap on each now.

This new app confuses the hell out of me.

Help!

1. Why is the flight information shown different for my "Booked" flights versus what's shown for my "Tracked" flights. Booked only shows me basic flight times and my ticket number. But if I want to know aircraft type, on-board service offering, or flight duration, I have to put my (booked) flight over into the "Tracked" flights. Why????

2. Is there any easy way to move a flight from Booked to Tracked, ie when I'm in the detail for one of my "Booked" flights? I don't see any button to move it over to "Tracked" so I can get the full, useful flight info. Can I do that without having to start from scratch (ie look up the flight # and date) for flights that already appear in my Booked list?

3. Why on earth would they have omitted origin city from the list of flights in the "Booked" list? Not every trip is a simple round-trip ... unless you're a basic vacation traveller. Why, oh why?

4. What on earth were they thinking when they designed this?

And of course you can no longer add a notification for another email or text number. Just what is in your profile. Agh.

I use FlightView for that sort of thing.

Even if I tracked flights, that's an extra tap. Before, you tap on the flights icon on the bottom and it takes you to that page. Now, you need to open the hamburger menu, then flights and then tracked.

Is anybody else getting a new calendar entry for flights every time the app launches or reloads flights "retrieving your information " wheel spinning? That is damn annoying.

On a related note, the app prompts me to report the bug. But when I try to do so, it tells me no e-mail account is linked to my account (which is of course to be expected since I can't log in).

Me too. You've made xcellent points to which I have no answer aside from #4. That is, they weren't thinking. They weren't trialing. They weren't listening.

And here I was trying to be optimistic.

Should we then expect the rest of the various websites to blink come change-o-clock?

But servers run on UTC, and UTC has no DST.
