My main complaint is that v3.0.0 shows the city name only, and not the airport code under MY TRIPS without going into details (and only the city name on all PAST flights with no option for further details, although I believe PAST flights wasn't even available in the older version of the APP, or was it?).
Past was never available in the older version of the app. =/

I don't like the home page. I know I'm flying Friday, you don't need to fill 2/3 of the screen with that. Also don't like nonremovable marketing at the bottom of the page, and can't minimize worthless "Mile Play" banner as could previously.
OTOH, I do like that it saves notifications.
Overall jury still out here.

App is good but the MileagePlus Card display is worse. It's microscopic and then just blows up the back of the card when you click on it. Other airlines, particularly in places like China, don't know what 1K is. For lounge purposes the app should clearly show: Star Gold, Name, UA-number and the Expire date.
This is also a flaw in the iphone wallet pass which doesn't show star gold status.

And at least for me on my iphone and ipad, I cannot sign in using touch I/D

The MP card should be able to be enlarged, offline. I agree with you and other posters on this.

EDIT: Went into the app store and I now have the option to updated. I needed to actually click on the app in the store, not just view it in the search results list.

Installed the update just now -- I had to open the App Store and manually pull-to-refresh on iOS for the update to appear. It seems like it's largely a re-skin of the previous interface? Tapping the Hamburger Menu to navigate reveals what appears to be the same scrolling navigation from before.
Does anyone else find it weird that if you tap the head icon in the upper right, it shows you "My Profile" whereas tapping your name from the main interface brings you to the MileagePlus Summary?
It seems these two options should perform similar actions. While we're at it, Membership/Club Passes could scroll vertically and be full size, rather than be tiny thumbnails that scroll horizontally, while 50% of my screen real estate is wasted.
Minor gripes though. As long as boarding passes in Apple Wallet still work, I think I'm fine.

RPU/GPU tally?
Does the new app display current RPU/GPU balance anywhere?

Just downloaded the updated app this AM. I like the look and feel. Will get a test ride of some of its functionality next week. All in all I think it's a good update despite some of the concerns expressed earlier in this forum.
