If in flight entertainment has connectivity issues you have to reload the player, which causes you to rewatch the same 1-min set of commercials. I was on a flight with a lot of connectivity issues and the reloading and rewatching of the same commercials was more than I could bear. It was horrendous, and it would be a simple fix for the developers to ensure this didn't happen.

this app is fairly good. however there are a few things they could do to improve it. I travel for my job and fly very frequently. When you set up your profile if you are recheck it should automatically put that information into my flightbooking to save time. Also when searching for flights they should allow for filtering out planes that are smaller than desired as overhead space is limited and my largest bag has electronics in it that I refuse to check due to handlers not caring about luggage.

I was looking forward to this update in the hopes that the annoying things in the app will go away and I will have a user experience like an app of another airline.(rhymes with recited) But I still can NOT add my boarding pass to Google Wallet (I know, its 2025, can you believe it?), I get enable javascript error messages, items from the account page (activity page, Travel Credits etc) takes ages to load. Restarted the app to get it to work. This needs a lot of work.

Thank you for your update Bruce. Your issue is consistent with others using either the Nexus 5X or the Nexus 6P coupled with a wearable. Clear your app cache (not the data, just the cache) and that should fix it for you.
