The newly redesigned Air Canada Mobile App (July 2016)
Still the worst airline app around. Poor integration to the main web site. No integration with Aeroplan so we have no access to our FF accounts. A thoroughly pathetic offering! Why waste space with Cargo and Vacations? Why even bother?

I just received an email with an invite to beta test their new iOS app.
Exciting news! The newly redesigned Air Canada Mobile App is almost ready to launch. We’ve selected a limited number of participants, and we’ve chosen you to be one of them. The new App was designed based on feedback from our customers. We listened, and developed the following new features: - Link your Aeroplan account and have all your bookings synced to your Air Canada mobile+ profile. - Create personal push notifications. - Purchase ancillary products during and after booking. - Download your Altitude digital card. - Enhanced Air Canada mobile+ with passport, Nexus, and KTN information for a simplified check-in experience. The Beta App is fully functional, so you can use it to book flights, manage your bookings, monitor and receive real-time information. We invite you to sign up to try out the Beta App on an iOS device. Remember, participation is limited, so we encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity. I am about to download it to see if it's anything like the android app. I have a couple of flights next week, so this is good timing. |

I like the "undefined undefined" in the web version of the e-mail. Looks like there is an error in getting information from one database to populate another. ;) |

Much better than the last app, but that could have been done by a 3 year old.
The smiling lady is pleasant to look at, once, but she takes up way too much real estate. One third of the screen is unproductive on the app because of the image. Who designed this thing? |

I don't suppose they'll be updating the BB10 app any time soon, eh? :p :(

A few quick observations after my first few minutes with the app:
(and we should all share our comments using the "send feedback" button in the TestFlight app, since that's the best way to ensure they are seen). |
New AC iOS app! (Currently in Beta)
I was invited this morning to beta test the new iOS AC app (v4.0.1). It's a total re-design (at least visually).
Automatically pulls in all PNRs with your Aeroplan number (which I think the new Android app does as well), and you can add your Altitude card to Apple Wallet. Don't see any new revolutionary functionality beyond that at the moment. Anyone else get invited to beta test? I'll try to post more details up later when I have more time to play around with it. |
Maybe it will have the awesome notification feature they added to Android to tell you 50 times when there's a gate change!

The new app is certainly a major improvement. I need to play with it a bit more to really assess the different features but so far, so good.
Agree with others that the image on the main screen uses too much real estate. And it is nice to finally have the Altitude card added to the Apple Wallet. ^ AC. Keep up the good work :) |

Is the flight distance still in km, or did they change to miles?
