After downloading the update I had to completely logout of the app.

Wow!

Thanks for the tip! I just updated the app and I have expert mode information as others have reported. Very happy…

That didn’t even work for me.

I just deleted the the app and then re-downloaded and logged in, then it worked.

Just found the RBD codes in the app - this awesome! Finally don’t have to use the mobile website and endlessly scroll

Excellent news!!

Did they read my post from the thread, 'What benefits do you wish MP offered'—

Note: one must have an account with MP to enable expert mode, so I believe this would count as a benefit of MP.
—?

(Also, the fare class inventory is available in android, not only ios. Double )

A new "bug" on my iOS 12 United app (sorry if it's been posted but I didn't see it):

No ability to select seats on ERJ145 and CRJ200 aircraft when pulling up the reservation. All I get is a message saying it can only be done with a United agent at the airport. Obviously this is false as it works fine on their website. Anyone else see this and is there a solution? Thx.

Can upgrade instruments be applied via the app?

Continued issues since iOS 12

i continue to have issues of the app deleting all my reservations. If I go in one hour I see all my trips, set my alerts for today’s flights and leave it st that. I return maybe an hour later or so, all my reservations are gone and I have to reload all my flights and alerts again. Anyone else seeing this? Becoming very annoying

Once I open the app, the menu doesn't show anything, but the reservations usually come back within a few seconds. It's just delayed for me. Sometimes I have to open the menu to get it to pull the data, but it does show up within a few seconds without me having to reset or logout/log back in or anything like that.

I don't have any flight alerts, though.

So something I don’t think I’ve seen before.

Timetable in the app seems only to show mainline flights now, and completely ignores anything UAX. If only UAX exists, brings a pop up saying (in essence) there are no flights that day. At least on routes I’ve checked.

Try uninstalling the United app and reinstalling from the app store. That solved my issue with the reservations having to redownload every time (at least for now!)

New bug. No option to add MileagePlus card to Apple Wallet after the recent update?

App won't update on my iPad

United's app won't update on my version 4 iPad, which is running 10.3.3. Apple says I have the current OS. And when I try to update the United app, it loops me back to an older version of the app. But if I try to do anything in the app, it says I have to download the new version of the app.

The generic solution these situations is to delete / remove the old app and then install the newer app.
