Credit where it's due - as travel-day software this is a massive step up on the old app. Live boarding passes, gate countdowns, push updates in the 24 hours before you fly. BA say it's "built to evolve" too, so more to come.

The on-the-day stuff is the bit most people actually need, and it's now done properly. Gate status, seat, boarding group all front and centre. This is the app the old one should always have been.

Here's my gripe though. Go into Reward Flights and you get two options: "Reward Flight finder" and "Book with Avios". That's it. And tapping "Book with Avios" just kicks you straight out to the BA website. No more quick in-app reward seat hunt.
