I've also received these messages at HEL.

This is bad news. I use the app to check whether the outbound flight left on time to know the odds of my inbound flight being on schedule. And I use the app to check how many planes are arriving at the same time as mine, which gives me an estimate of queues at passport control and waiting time for baggage.

Now it's easier for me to know how long exiting will take given I now know if I get a gate or a bus ride.

I played with it further and it works for most if not all airports in Finland, just replace HEL with your desired IATA code.

Yeah, didn't notice that at first either, or that some of the columns are clickable, like the flight number, which brings you the flight status history
