Let's not all be negative about this - expert mode in the App is a real improvement - not just visuals

My suspicion is that it works only for visas that are multiple entry for a period of years, not visas that allow limited entries. That makes some sense because limited entry visas are marked with pen as used but otherwise bear no indication they are no longer valid (if within the stated time period for validity of entry).

The Weather Channel app has been accused of tracking users and then selling their data
I turned off tracking on my TWC app.

Frankly, I'm very happy with the app as it exists today. Fancy graphics in no way improve my experience on a small device. That poster is a VERY BAD sign of things to come.

Looking at the hub preview, I don't see anything I hate yet. Hopefully everything that's in the app now is still in there somewhere.

Don’t know for sure. UA has a deal with IBM, that’s got a suite of something like one or two dozen apps for the airline industry - various parts of it. Beleive the suite of tools the FAs have onboard is IBM and part of the deal..not entirely sure if that extends to the customer-facing UA app too. Would make sense, though in the airline industry....

Anyone else think it is strange how they list the # of miles in the screenshots as "Mileage points". I feel like that is the worst omen in all of this.

If you have a mile play offer now, that’s the same block where the CC promo currently goes if you’re logged out. At least IME.
