Please bring it back

I’m really looking forward to the new app. With the development tools available today, hopefully it shouldn’t take too much longer.

Charged $10 for an unusable product.

Essential App. Sad it’s gone

This app was THE reason I was an Expert Flyer member. I know I can do the same things (and much more) on the website, but I do 95% of this from my phone and the website just isn’t particularly great for that. It was obvious this app hadn’t had a major update in years, but it was so handy and the info could change my travel day from an uncomfortable one to a breeze. I sure hope they release a new working one. I’ve paused my membership until then, however my hopes aren’t terribly high.
