Why doesn't Frontier have a mobile app? Every other airline seems to have one especially Southwest and United.

Mostly comes down to, it hasn't been a priority since they've been massively overhauling their full website, and their software team can only do so much at one time.

We are currently in the process of developing a mobile compatible site that should be implemented soon.

In its present incarnation, sometimes you can complete a booking, other times, you have to pick up the phone.

I would be happy if they manage to enhance their web site, e.g. change a seat assignment. As long as they have a backlog of things to do on their web site they should really focus on it. I can worst case open their web site on my iphone if needed but the lack of functionality is annoying.

It works now (not sure when they implemented it). Just tried it on an existing reservation and there is a seat change option now that shows the regular seat map.

Next on the list: mobile boarding passes.
Actually, that'll take awhile. A long while. But with today's high resolution phone screens you could probably just display the same PDF417 code that's printed on boarding passes, and you wouldn't need to mess with the at-gate scanners any.

United has been doing that for years and it generally seems to work fine, both at security and at the gate.
