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

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

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.

…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…
