They just released an update to it within the past 24 hours. It's still there in the iPhone app store too.

When it comes to just US or Canadian citizens at airports/terminals with both MPC and GE, MPC is better than GE when the travel party consists of a mixture of GE and non-GE travelers.

When you search for it on your iPad, after completely a search for "mobile passport," look to the top left and switch "iPad Only" to "iPhone Only." Should be the first option.

While things will change if MPC use by lots of others picks up big time, for now I am doing as well or better with MPC than I would with GE when I decide to use MPC instead of GE. But I sort of have a better than usual idea of which approach is likely to work on a given occasion.

GE Still Worth It?
The last two times I have flown back to the US I noticed that for regular US Citizens they have the machines they can use. My colleagues who travel with me seem to get through the normal line at the same time I get through the GE one. The only difference was after getting your bag and being able to cut in front of the line to exit. With this has anyone thought about not renewing?

However, the lines to go though bag check were all the way across the baggage claim area. Had to be an incredibly long wait to get to an agent. GE line, on the other hand, was only a dozen or so people long. Yes, I plan to renew.
