Don’t waste your money.

Don’t waste your time downloading this app if you are from the LAA side of the operation. The flight departure and arrival times are only listed in Home Base Time instead of Local Station Time. The app should have the option to view the times in both time zones, but the developer has no interest in improving the functionality of the app. Don’t waste your money.

Response from developer

Thousands of users (including hundreds of LAA crew members) have purchased over the years, with only a handful requesting the app show station time (because "that's the way we've always done it at xxxx airline"). WinBid Pairing users are no different from any other airline crew with regard to fatigue/rest studies which recommend that airline crews always keep their body clocks on crew base time. The vast majority of my users agree. I constantly update the app for functionality and user experience.

BEST APP EVER for checking Pairings AA

Love this app. It makes sorting pairings in PBS so much easier. I can also save the pairings I like for the month which shortens bidding time. LOVE IT and worth every penny!!

Response from developer

Thank you for the review!

Great App

All I can say is just get it. Worth every penny.

OK app for help with bidding otherwise not needed

Update 4.2 killed off DECS for Flight Attendants. Don’t understand why because LUS FAs had limited use but you could pull crew names and hotel assignments.

I would have skipped the update if I knew this was going to happen.

Response from developer

Although not directly supported, DECS is no longer disabled for flight attendants. Flight attendants may use DECS at their own recognizance

Works great

Great app for searching pairings. Would love for more search filters to be added, like layover city (find all MSY layovers on a particular day). Love how it adds loads and gate info. Helpful app for a one time price.

Response from developer

Update the app. It does not use NRTP any longer for pax loads.

Station times

Pretty good app ! The only problem with it is not being able to switch to station times . Seems like an easy fix .
Pulling up pax loads works half of the time . I get a time out error most of the time .

Response from developer

Crew base time in pairings is intentional. Maintaining crew base time zone is in accordance with fatigue/rest studies. Update the app to 2.5.4, pax loads are now updated very quickly and more reliably.

You NEED this app!

This app is a tremendous help throughout the year, I rarely print a trip sheet anymore, I'd always lose them anyway. It's even useful during tax time for tracking layovers. Only thing I'd like to see in a future update is the swipe to go back to previous screen that iPhone has available for apps now.

Awesome

Awesome app! It was always helpful for LUSers in bidding and trip info. Now with new DECS features it again is my go to app over the CCI and APA app interfaces. Thank you!

Great thorough tech support as I worked thru some issues previously with some bad iPhone settings I had.

Sometimes it's great

The creator of this app got in touch with me and cleared up some of the problems with it. It is a way to relay the information he gets from the airline in an easier to read view. Please remove my previous review as the creator has taken care of it.

Won't Update Gates

I loved this app but then 6-8 weeks ago the "Update Gates" feature stopped working. This is one of the main features that I purchased this app for, without it, I feel it's lost much of its functionality.

Besides, I purchased this because it alone does what to three other apps/websites do however, now I have to open another app to find out gate info!

Customer service has been prompt however, they could not solve my problem, Nor did they offer any solutions or tell me when the problem would be fixed… In addition, I wasn't offered a refund of my money and this is an expensive app!
