ALPA Mobile for Android
Can't login due to update, keeps crashing.
Worthless
It seems like mostly just a news feed. I'd rather it was designed to be useful to the member. The KCM, Jumpseat, Pilot Data Reporting system, etc. should be on the home screen, not news stories. Whoever commissioned the app to be written was clearly all about news, and not members.
A useful application, especially for finding KCM checkpoints and operational times, but it is a data hog. Even when I turn off the ability for it to use background data it still finds a way to use data at an alarming rate. It has used over 4GB of data in the last 3 weeks and I haven't even used the app! Every time you open the app, it automatically refreshes the news articles chewing up data. I have no idea what it uses background data for or why it uses so much.
Why do I have to login every time? Is it ALPA's way to make us remember our username and password? I don't need to be nannied that way, ALPA. This is my phone which I secure. Why is it that banks allow apps to memorize usernames and passwords, but ALPA doesn't? Get real...
Needs an option to disable notifications. Without this change I will probably delete
App is ok now that they fixed the menu issue.
Now I have to log in to check KCM locations. WHY? Not an improvement.
I saw a lot of reports about KCM not being there but it is still there under the menu. It would be nice to have it up front though.
Does not work, just a news reader, since i won't throw my phone in the trash, I'll just uninstall it.
The sub menus do not work for Android. That was the most important part.
Just the news articles, come on guys! At least get KCM in there. I don't know who pressing and holding home works for but not the galaxy S5
I can't believe the kcm info is now missing. That was the only use I had for this app. Is the developer even passing attention? This has been an issue for months now.
Where is the stuff we use every day, like the KCM list? The latest update is just a clipping service for news.
What happened to jump seat info and kcm?

Still missing. ..where is the functionality?
Update...I just got in touch with ALPA App & Web Development and got this recommendation - hold down, not just touch, the left button on your phone (I think it's the "home" key) and it will bring up the menu where you can find KCM, etc. It worked for me. I mainly use this app to find KCM info. Used to work fine on my old Motorola, but I can't find KCM info when I installed it on my new Samsung Galaxy S5.
Pretty much useless since the only thing visible is the news release bit. No KCM. Fail.
You screwed up the program for android users on last release. The bottom bar that had alla and kcm and more / hotels and such is gone. Just a lousy news reader now. What exactly do my dues pay for exactly? A working functional app would be nice....
Pointless app without KCM access... just a news fed app.
News feed only on android, no functionality. Worthless
No KCM access on Android makes this app useless to me.
The most useful part of the app (KCM) is completely inaccessible if your phone doesn't have a dedicated hardware menu button. My Galaxy S5 is an example of a phone with such a design, and it's the standard now. Get with the times ALPA!
KCM is not available. I attempted to download the ALPA app again to gain access to KCM but was advised that the app was already on my phone.
All the HYPE about the KCM APP and no link to the actual APP.
Just a bunch of old news stories... No Jumpseat in lower right corner as promised...
Where is KCM?
No jumpseat in lower right corner
Not much more FastRead
Slow to load and all links to stories I selected were broken. Most items are merely links or downloads that one can access easier on the website. The font on the labels is so small a magnifying glass is needed. The app is cumbersome, unpolished and not particularly useful to members. Needs a LOT of work. Uninstalled. DX
Garbage
Good start but incomplete! My MEC function needs more than just contacts info
Easier to use the website. How about letting you connect to your MEC web page, and all it functions....keep trying alpa. I'll check back in few
No thanks.
Basically it sucks.......
Wouldn't open up. Wouldn't allow me to sign in. Hope it hasn't cost any dues money? Whats

I am a recent convert to Android from iOS. This app works flawlessly on iPhone with access to the full app. On Android, the app is stretched and only shows the newsfeed screen and doesn't allow access to the rest of the app. Please fix!!
