Where can I see my GPU/RPUs? I was not able to find them in the old app and I still cannot find them in the new app.
Also, can I upgrade my flights right from the app now?

Too bad they removed the entertainment shortcut on the homepage. I can see crew members having to "educate" passengers on how to access entertainment from the drop down list.
UPDATE - Looks like the shortcut is there but mixed in with all the advertisements.

I hate the home page, I find it way too cluttered. But I do like the rest of the app. I also like how on travel days you have everything you need easily accessible.
But get rid of the miles for pay crap and ads on the home screen.

Oh, if you’re on iOS and you view the enlarged back of your membership card, scroll down and there’s an “Add to Apple Wallet” option that produces a large, *Gold ready version (where applicable). I take back my earlier criticism.

is logging in with my UA# required for viewing in-flight movies via UA app on iPhone?
is logging in with my UA MileagePlus # and password required
for viewing in-flight movies via UA app on iPhone? (on a TPAC
flight, if that makes any difference)
Thanks!

Ouch my eyes! The credit card ad that wasn’t there earlier today is now on the home screen and on the MP Summary page. Sigh.

No. Just to buy WiFi if you want to be able to swap devices.

That is super obnoxious. I particularly dislike marketing for something I already have. They certainly have the data that would allow them to delete this from my home screen.

Thanks! That's what I thought... it used to work just fine...
however, after the new update to UA app was installed today,
it would NOT let me watch movies unless I logged in with my
MileagePlus#.... I didn't have my password with me....

No improvement at all here. All underlying functions are the same. As I am currently on a trip, instead of showing NRT to YYZ (the return portion) it shows Toronto to Newark (the first leg which I flew in january).
I really hate all the marketing on the home page. Just hate it !!!

I love the new upgrade. It’s a nice improvement. It’s very intuitive.
