I thought all the big 3 had this option available when WiFi is turned on in the air you can download their individual apps...

Haven't attempted it, but I remember the FA announcements always suggest to download the app while on the ground.

Finally got around to checking if the iOS app was still 439mb or if they updated it and they haven't. Wanted to post it here in case someone sees it and, also, so the author gets credit if they decide to correct it and implement the standard procedure into their build process to make it easier for last minute downloads. Or, if anyone knows why they would intentional avoid doing so?

I have had more than one person seated next to me frantically search for and try to download the app after they're already onboard with the doors about to close. The smaller size would probably help get the app on more phones.

Is anyone searching flight status only to have that flight permanently displaying in “My flights”? Can’t seem to delete flights from there.

If they want to save the previously searched flights on there, that's one thing, but not having a way to delete them is annoying.

I do see United add the check mark in the app for who is checked in on the upgrade list.
