“Something went wrong”
If BA set out to write an app that mostly says “something went wrong” (it has stopped saying sorry, presumably having decided it’s all my fault anyway) they did a stellar job. If they had higher aspirations, they failed miserably. When it once in a blue moon *can* show information on your flight, it’s always the last to know. If you are optimistic enough to use it to check in, make sure to save your boarding pass to your apple wallet, expecting to be able to pull it up on demand would be sensationally naive. App doesn't’ work on VPNs (or from foreign network it seems like) because what traveller using open (airport) wifi’s would possibly need a VPN. That said, neither does their web site so they’re consistently useless. I just hope they fly better than they do apps.
Update: jury's out on whether the brokenness is actually VPN triggered or the app is just *shockingly unreliable,* it's now been ages since I've been able to see my account in the app. This works in a web browser which is a positive surprise.
Update2: Going off app, which is still required for practically anything useful, appears BA wants us to set up two-factor authentication. To the tune of offering "configure now," which presumably does what it says on the tin, and "remind me later" which just starts the process immediately, not what it said on the tin.
