This is a many reason I am moving to DL. As much as people complain about DL IT - their iOS APP and ability to do SDC/IRROPS changes online is HUGE.

It does not work on the native browser for the HP TouchPad either. Error when you try to login or access your account.

The lack of an App this late in the game is kinda of astounding. It cant be that hard to develop.
They could even really half-... it and have the app be nothing more than a direct link to a mobile site if they wanted. Im curious to know the thought process behind this.

The mobile site they have now actually isn't bad. It just lacks all of the functionality that only a native app could deliver -- unfortunately, that's a problem that linking to the mobile site wouldn't solve.

I always have problems with the mobile site. I'll try and search for a flight and pretty much everytime get some sort of error message.

I meant "not bad" from a features point of view. In theory, it has great functionality for a mobile site. In practice, well, as with many US IT projects, you know how the story goes...
Point being, a native app that links to a mobile site wouldn't be that useful as an app, given what already exists. Now, fixing the mobile site so that it's reliable 100% of the time...that's a separate (but agreed, very necessary) project.
