Seems like a usual case of the interwebs getting a little cluttered with all the 1's an 0's. I bet the the AA reservation system occasionally gets hung up when equip is changed out, especially when it goes from a narrow-body to a wide body. Probably has an issue processing the new seat numbers with respect to the addition of some and subtraction of others (like you had mentioned, OP).

I don't understand why it's so difficult for airlines to make HELPFUL mobile apps. I've had many problems with the AA app.
Computer wins every time, especially when a seat is at stake...

Actually it was the other way around. The app did the trick, the website wouldn't let me select.

Yesterday my app boarding pass wouldn't validate at the TSA scanner. Had to go to checkin to get a paper boarding pass. Anyone had similar problems?

iPhone APP - Update
 
Pretty impressed with the substantially redesigned AA iPhone app they just released earlier today. Looks like they took some queues from the iOS7 update to improve quite a bit on their look/feel and usability.

And it requires iOS7 to run. Guess we will have to wait a few days . . .

Nothing for Android yet.

Anyone willing to post the release notes/describe the changes at a high level? Thanks.

I looks very similar to the version already released on the iPAD back in iOS6.

The previews look great!
Oh and look what's prominently displayed on the home screen.
The striped tail! Hehehe.
Lookin' forward to updating it when I get iOS7.

I am quite surprised that they dropped compatibility for iOS 6 so quickly.

Fortunately, Apple now allows those without iOS 7 to download older versions of apps. But with backend changes that might occur in the AA app, like APIs, who knows how much longer those on iOS 6 will be able to use the AA app.

downloaded ios7 and the new AA app yesterday. Looks decent (though took me a while to find my flight details.
Question to those who have used it: What is the green dot next to my flight times? Has that been around for a while? I don't remember it before

(Speculation): As of now, flight is on time (given the heading of "STATUS").


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 5:51 pm.
