ads instead of useful info

It rotates and after some minutes shows the departure times. But if you’re in hurry you want the time immediately, not after a while

    You can check with an app in your phone too so these days it’s not that terrible except for the elderly ofc.

    I am not defending this practice just pointing out! When I traveled a month ago I was so tired of the screens not updating that I used an app and got everything and also could check from the gate (poor audio speakers I couldn’t understand anything)

      …if your phone has reception in this country you’ve just arrived in and/or if WiFi is available. Of course, you can always pay extra…

      You shouldn’t have to download an app to replace the thing that the thing you are looking at is supposed to do.

        I agree, but in my experience there aren’t screens everywhere (NAIA for example) and having the app is a plus, besides, flight gates can change at any time and having the app allows you to check that on the move.

        As I said, not defending putting ads but with the apps is not that big of an issue.

          My app never updated or sent me an alert when gates changed.
