2.0 is Improved, but…
That said, I have found multiple bugs. As a commuter I was excited about the commuter features as it would be a HUGE time savings and convenience to reduce the number of apps I have on my phone.
The flight search seems to work great for going to work. It only shows flights that get you to work before your report which makes things easy. HOWEVER, this date/time stamp is auto generated from your schedule and seems to be unable to be overwritten. For instance, when attempting to plan my commute home before starting a trip, even when selecting the “commuting home” tab, it will show 0 flights because the date being searched is after my report time. Further, I commute out of a MAJOR cargo hub and cargo flights seem to be absent from the returns despite the app saying they include cargo flights.
Another example, the app knows what hotel is in your schedule, but when searching food at your layover, it gives you food based on the radius to the airport rather than your layover hotel.
These are a few examples, there are more. All things considered it could be so good, but the price is rather steep - even if it worked as advertised - at $10/month for what is essentially just a collection of open source data.

2.0
Won’t Open
Response from developer
Thank you for the report, and I'm sorry the 1.0 app left you stranded after a purchase. That version is no longer supported — we rebuilt Aero Crew News from the ground up, and version 2.0 is now live on the App Store. It's a completely new native app with current iOS support, so the launch crash you hit is gone. If you run into anything at all in 2.0, email us at info@aerocrewnews.com and we'll take care of you personally.
App doesn’t open
Response from developer
You were right to be frustrated — the old 1.0 app broke on newer iOS versions and we didn't get it fixed fast enough. We've since rebuilt the app entirely. Version 2.0 is out now: new codebase, new design, and a lot more than the old app ever did — airline contract data, ATC delay info, pay tools, and daily aviation news. Worth another look, and if it doesn't work for you, tell us at info@aerocrewnews.com.
