It's very beta.
Is it just me or is the font size when you drill down into flight details really, really small?

And lots of space to make it larger. That was an issue with a previous beta app a couple of years ago. Hopefully they will fix it as some of us are long in the tooth!

My suggestion is send messages to all points of contact with AC. The App team can't be working in a sealed cube and not be aware of the end-user.
Oh wait.....

Someone needs to tell the AC App team that not everyone is 20 and loves tiny font. Worse than tiny font is poor contrast, grey font on white background for eg.

I downloaded (iOS) but it seems to be really rudimenary. Sure, the PNR fetches the reservation. I can't see if the RMRK "deaf" is on the booking or not. I imagine you can't see special meal request. Would be nice to see meal info (BOB, breakfast, lunch, nothing, etc.)

Agreed. This seems very bare bones at this time. With itineraries that have connecting flights, it incorrectly displays aircraft type and other information.

Beta app isn't fully functional?
*pikachu shocked face*
By the time it leaves beta, it should have everything useful that the old app had. If I were a betting cow, I'd say the really interesting changes will come after Nov 5.

Like many others, I can't download the Android app. Is there anyone who has been able to download the Android version?

But I do agree that the app team seems pretty competent.

But I know they read the feedback and I've seen changes to the FP app come out of it. Though that's for another thread.
