pretty horrible, you leave the app, don't even have to exit, and return to it, all your info is gone. yes your search is saved in recent, but you have to start from scratch after that. it doesn't allow cut and paste so you're supposed to have paper and pen or an incredible memory or lose all your flyers info lost again. had to call to make the reservation since the app doesn't work well given these flaws.

App is generally terrific! My main gripe is the inability to enter email addresses to share your itinerary with when booking a flight. That feature only exists on the website. Additionally, I've been getting randomly signed out. Even though I enable fingerprint login every time, I never get an option to use that. The app seems to support autofill but for some reason that rarely works (possibly an issue with my password manager? Hard to say...)

Edit: New bug, when digitally checking bags, it says download relevant app in playstore with no link, yet you add bags via this app. It seems all flight apps have this issue. There needs to be an EASY way to access flight info and boarding passes. Just add a tab for your profiles current flights. If it exists, it already make it a lot easier to find. Your only options are to search it or re-check in to re access your flight info. Doesn't need to be as convoluted or complicated as it already is.
