Don't we all hate when a bad website just steals our energy away, with multiple reloads, lost sessions, pointless animations and ending in generic error "try again"?
Now apparently the energy stealing has spread to the app!

It seems the new version never really sleeps in the background. Or did it always behave badly, and it's just a new Android feature to show the culprit?

What are your experiences with the Finnair app seeing other OW flights? So far I've flown with BA and CX, and all of their flights showed up reliably in the app. Now I have an upcoming Iberia flight, and nothing shows up in the app.
Not that it's important, and it's not something I'd expect to always see pop up, but it's more of a curiosity than anything. It's still been a nice to have, if nothing else. Since BA and Iberia are the airlines Finnair works pretty closely with, I would have thought to see my Iberia flights here as well.

QF shows up nicely. I'd guess if you add the IB bookinf ref it'd show up in the app.
Talking of the app - on ios it doesn't refresh, unless I lohgou and back again. Simpy quitting and restarting the app doesn't do a thing. Bug or feature?

That actually worked, despite it saying "Enter your FINNAIR booking reference". Interestingly enough it also said that "frequent flyer number could not be added", which is strange because it does show up in my confirmation e-mail. So I'm guessing it didn't show up in the app in the first place because for some reason my AY frequent flyer number couldn't be linked to what's in the Iberia ticket.
On Android, refreshing seems to be a bit random. I've found that going back and forth between a few different screens, and pausing for a while in each one, will eventually refresh it. A simple "refresh now" button could make sense here.

I have two outstanding Iberia bookings both showing in the app automatically.
In my experience, any Amadeus PNR with my AY+ number will show up, regardless of which airline made it. It even worked with Lufthansa PNR (when I was involuntarily rerouted on AY).

Yep everything will show up, if it is Amadeus and has your AY+ number. I've had QF, QR, BA, CX and MH bookings and mixes of those all showing up in the app. Even JQ flights if they were on bookings that cointained OW filights. And AA flights if they had QF segments.
