I don't mind it overall, I agree that the seat map contrast could be better. The one thing that really annoys me though is that you have to tap through 4 screens just to access the seat map. On the old app this was not the case.

So it looks like they did a ninja edit to the booking tab. It’s now white on blue background with the flight options broken up instead of a solid white page. 100x better. Hopefully they address the other shortfalls.

I’m not sure if I feel proud as a DM with a pink/fuschia screen. I’ll go back to my green KM screen.
I wish our boarding pass screen would flash at full brightness pink so everyone else knew a diamond was coming through, so this way I wont have to yell it as I push and shove my way through the unwashed lower tier medallions.

I just got the update pushed to my Samsung this morning.

Looks awful -- everything bad about the new website has been replicated on the app

The old app worked fine. Wasted time to update the color scheme only, they should've done something useful like have your MM balance visible.

It’s seems to be about the same functionality as before but wow is that Pink bright. It may be a problem to find a brighter color for 360s

WAY too much white space on every page.

Overall, I find the updates to be nagative. It's harder to quickly read the SKYMILES tab. The fonts are too small. And too much text in a small area.

Also, I don't understand why they didn't add the MM mileage amounts into the app.

I don't mind it so much, but seems I have to do 2 clicks instead of just 1 to get to the details of my reservation now. It is a bit bright, but not annoyingly so....at least not for me.

I can live with the color scheme and font. I don't see any meaningful change in function, but I probably don't use the app as much as most of you. Are any of the changes in function especially noteworthy?

On iPhone 6S, the boarding pass QR code on the "Today" screen overlaps passenger name and boarding zone.

Supposedly the major change is to the today tab. I wont be able to test-drive for another couple weeks.

I maybe forgetting something, but other than the color change and the wait times tab, there doesn’t seem to be that much different on there.

Despite my profile, I’m currently on probationary diamond status (via reclaim my status). On my morning CRJ flight (no first) the color is similar to the old app diamond, a slate blue although a bit more sky blue than the previous app. On my evening return in First, I just checked in and see the pink others have reported. Splitting hairs of elitism, is the color is based on status or class? These colors now carry over to Apple Wallet.

The colors of the BP's are based on cabin now, not status.
