App in the Air experience

aita.md

1. Open app for the first time.
   • There seems to be a motion effect in the world map when I tilt the device. If the idea is to make the world map appear in the background and the application name in the foreground, the motion effect is backwards.
2. Go to Add flight.
3. Enter LA as an airline code.
4. The "enter flight number" screen appears.
   • There is no blinking cursor in the text field to enter the number, so it looks as if the field wasn't selected. I kept tapping it to make it selected, before I noticed I could just type the number on the keyboard. It also means I can't move the cursor, or paste...
   • There is no limit to how many digits I can type, even though flight numbers can't be longer than 4 digits.
   • Why can't I just type "LA 2426" in the previous screen? Why force me through two steps?
5. Enter 2426 and tap Done.
6. As the date, select Nov 29th and tap Search.
7. The search fails, probably because the flight is too far in the past. I'm taken to a screen to enter the flight information manually.
   • The "Airline" field is empty. Why isn't this pre-filled with "LA"? I already entered the airline at the beginning.
   • The "Departure" and "Arrival" fields are empty. Why can't this be prefilled, do the departure/arrival airports for a given flight number ever change over time? And even if they can change, why not prefill with the current airports for that flight number? In the rare case that they did change, the user can fix it.
8. Fill in Airline=LA, Departure=EZE, Arrival=LIM.
9. Select Nov 29th 4:35am as the departure date.
10. Tap "Arrival date".
    • The user input view (with the date selector) disappears. There is now no selected field. It should have selected the "Arrival date" field I tapped.
11. Tap "Arrival date" again. Select 7:20am.
12. Tap "Add flight".
    • The date selector closes. Flight is not added.
13. Tap "Add flight" again. Flight is now added.
14. Go back to "My flights".
15. Tap + button to add another flight.
16. Go through the same frustrating experience as before to add LA 2510, Nov 29th, LIM to MIA, 9:20am to 3:10pm.
17. Go back to My flights.
    • Suppose I now find I entered the information for one of the flights incorrectly. There is no way to edit it. There is also no way to delete that flight alone to add it again. I have to delete the entire two-flight trip and start over.
