Thanks.
Very impressive - like the features. Looks like they've spent a decent amount of time on it. I remember seeing a post about a year ago where they were inviting certain Skywards members to their London office for feedback on a mobile application - perhaps this is what materialised.
Few people asking Emirates on Twitter in relation to iPhone and Android apps and Emirates have responded by saying 'coming soon, in development'.
Fun times!
edit: Now only if they had an option for Gold / Plat card holders on the App in which notifications could pop up - like flight / seat availability' and as when they become available

You can upgrade with miles on the App.
You need to go to "My trips", manage your booking, then on the right top "..." -> manage booking -> "upgrade with miles".
On one of the flights where I am waitlisted for an upgrade to business I can only see the business seat map, but I am confirmed in economy and on the normal website I can only see the economy seat map. I cannot unfortunately choose a seat in business
