Delta App Update, Yea or Nay?
Just noticed that an update was released yesterday for the Delta iPhone app.
Has anyone updated yet? Have the seat maps for existing reservations been "enhanced" in a similar manner to the ones online?
I don't want to update if it means losing the one easy way I have of viewing the F/J seat map when sitting in Y.

Seat maps show both economy and First/Business availability when booked in economy.

The app that I have only shows coach seats that aren't EC/C+, exit row, or premium now for flights where I'm booked in BE/D1. [It worked fine for me until people started reporting problems with this.] If someone has an app that allows one to see all seats on your flights when clicking from the itinerary, keep that version, treasure it, and guard it against automatic updates.

Was SYD a factor in this failure?
When I did OLCI this morning, I thought the app took a photo of my 'passport'. However, I could not get any EBP (OKC-ATL-LAX-SYD) and the print passes say "verify passport".
So did my iP6 camera fail me when using the app or is this because I going to SYD tomorrow and that requires verification of my visa? If the latter, does that mean I need to show a print out of my e-visa for Australia when I go to the counter to check in luggage?

I had an INTL trip since the update. The camera thing is fun and worked perfectly for me (no VISA issues - MEX). The actual BP Screen didn't say "DOCS OK" for me, but the info screen (when it flips around) did say it. GA had no problems and I boarded like normal. So far, seems less glitchy and has some nice features. I'm a fan.
ETA: forgot I had a NRT trip on the 17. I didn't even realize the app updated, but it prompted me to scan the passport with the camera. I was confused at the time, but figured out that the app updated and I didn't realize. 2 trips and no issues on this end. YMMV.

I was hoping to skip the counter since I do not have luggage to check and do not need a visa for Greece.
