I have a SAN-MCO trip next month on an AA ticketed itinerary. The outbound is a code share on AS and the returns are on AA metal. In the app, even if I select one of the AA legs, trying to change seats on that particular leg, still gives a prompt that it will take me to the AA website to do so.

The app is crAAp

its lipstick on a pig, many of the screens still take you to the old ui or the website.

Same. Can confirm no new functionality added to this app (since about 2012 —
or that's certainly what it feels like).

Very disappointing update to the app. It also made a boarding pass disappear today.

Truly a POS as apps go IMHO.

I wish they would've made the update to where you can add all your boarding passes at one time like Delta's app does. I like that feature.

Agreed. Unfortunate but not surprising that the latest update is largely cosmetic, with little (or even less) functionality. The iOS app is adequate, as is AA.com, and that's probably all you can say about AA's investment in their IT.

I do like the new green background though; the visual contrast is pleasing.

To be honest, part of the reason I wondered is because when I asked what the changes were, you didn't reply with any answer, just to go take a look.

I actually did find a change I like - now there is the manage trip link under a reservation that deep links you to the mobile aa.com site where you can easily click same day change (not that it ever works for me online, but that's a different complaint). Saves me the hassle of going to my phone browser, logging in, then finding the reservation.

Well, since upgrading the app to the newest version, it has done nothing. When I start it, it gives me an error that the app stopped working but if it even gets past that point, it is just a black screen. Tried updating Andriod, tried removing and then reinstalling app. So, I am not updating my wife's phone and I'm stuck without an app.

Ha! Sad but true; SDC hardly ever works for me online, and I've gotten tired of phone agents telling me I can "only do it at the airport" -- a frustrating answer when what I wanted was to catch a *later* flight.

Thanks for pointing out the manage-trip link, which I didn't notice at first. ^ It does save those annoying extra steps.

Hah! Experiencing this firsthand, as it's been several hours and I'm still waiting for an itinerary for tomorrow to be ticketed so that I can check-in. And I'm on attempt #4 for trying to request a refund for another ticket that just doesn't seem to stick. These features are seamless with other airlines, but better that AA spend the resources on reshuffling some icons in the app instead...

I do like some aspects of the Delta app, although I have yet to figure out SDC -- do I click the "Change" link in the Flight Details section or somewhere else? And it only seems to work before check-in, but not after? But that's why I still prefer the United app overall, it seems much more intuitive and simpler to use IMO (the big "Switch to another flight" banner helps... ).

If it makes anyone here feel better, I am having the same issues with the "updgraded" iOS app.

HofstraJet

+1, especially for booking flights. Why would I use the slow in-app browser if I will be dealing with the AA mobile website? I should be able to book directly from the app and have all of my info pre-filled in. Unreal that they can't get this right.

It really is just a cosmetic makeover - all of the underlying functionality is still the same old crap.

at least there is a pretty picture now of a lush green meadow in the background

You should be able to rebook yourself during IRROPS by this summer in the app (if all goes according to schedule).
