Mobile vs. Desktop Features

Overview

MileIntel is designed as a responsive web app, which means nearly every feature works on both desktop and mobile. There are a few differences in layout and interaction patterns, but no features are locked to a single platform.

Identical on Both

• All trip management (create, edit, view, delete)
• Wallet and loyalty program tracking
• Desk AI assistant
• Flight search and results
• Alerts and notification management
• Calendar view and sync
• Billing and plan management
• All settings and preferences
• Travel Command Center (all tabs)

Desktop Advantages

• Sidebar navigation — faster section switching on wide screens.
• Keyboard shortcuts — power user efficiency.
• Multi-panel layouts — trip list + TCC detail side by side in the expanding panel.
• Globe visualization — the 3D globe renders at full detail on desktop.
• Extension support — the Chrome extension only runs in desktop browsers.

Mobile Advantages

• Push notifications — more immediate than desktop browser notifications.
• Haptic feedback — physical confirmation for actions.
• Location-aware features — TCC can use your GPS for airport navigation.
• Bottom tab bar — optimized for one-handed use.
• Pull to refresh — natural touch gesture for forcing data sync.

Key Details

• The responsive layout adapts at 768px. Below that, you get the mobile experience. Above, desktop.
• TCC terminal maps work on both platforms but use touch gestures (pinch/drag) on mobile and mouse (scroll/click) on desktop.
• PDF exports (Portfolio Audit, expense reports) render identically regardless of platform.

Tips

1. Use desktop for trip planning sessions and deep wallet analysis. Use mobile when you're at the airport and need real-time TCC data.
