"Crew Rest" is intended for Crews around the world who need to divide a specific amount of time in different rest / work periods. Typically, it is used by Flight crews (Pilots and Cabin Crew) on long haul flights. You give the app the time range available to your crew for these rests / work periods and it generates a timetable of the different times at which these periods will start and end depending on the sequencing you have chosen. For anyone reading this with no knowledge of airline operations, don't worry, crew rests are normal, scheduled and only take place on long haul flights in order to ensure a perfect level of alertness upon arrival ! NOBODY is asleep at the controls ! ! Fellow crewmembers enjoy and treasure that sacred rest! ## Key features - Rest/work period division - Customizable timetables - Sequencing options - Time range input - Arrival alertness management ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $2.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | An Amber beer | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 83) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crew-rest/id294722509/reviews.md ### 5/5 — The best *2025-09-27, version 6.1.1* I tried many other similar apps. Simply this one is just the best. Is there a copy for android? ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍 *2025-02-04, version 6.1.1* Excellent app. So helpful in the use of it as a Purser for a major airline ### 5/5 — Helps in all flight situations *2024-05-02* Have been using it from the beginning of the App, an haven’t found any other App that do the job done any easier. Easy interface and all the rest scenarios you can think up. Only thing I can think of that would make my life a little easier- would be to be able to distribute the result scheme to my crew via air drop !! Now I take a screenshot and air drop 😉 so thanks a lot for a great App. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2019-09-30* This is THE BEST Crew Rest app around. I’ve tried several of them when this one needed an update. The others were not helpful at all. I deleted them all and went back to figuring out the breaks with pen and paper. I finally wrote the developer and BEGGED for an update. Thank you Mr. Ostrowsky for hearing my plea. Please don’t ever stop the updates of this extremely useful app. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2019-08-17, version 6.1.1* I’m writing this as of August, 2019. I recently got an iPhone X and I LOVE using this app to figure out breaks for my crews but it keeps crashing on both my iPhone and iPad. Please help! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-08-28* Best crew rest app out there! Highly recommend to download. Easy to use. Looks like the developer is really engaged with the app so you know you’ll be be in good hands. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this update. Looking forward to improving my app. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-08-26, version 6.1.1* Excellent app! Use it every flight and perfect for short flights where every minute counts. Thank you ### 5/5 — So helpful *2018-08-07, version 6.1.1* Love this app , really makes my life easier when planing the rest for my crew . Thanks so much ### 5/5 — I’ll buy you a beer. 🍺 *2018-06-05* This is a great app. I have been using it for sometime now. It is fast and easy. Best crew rest App yet. Thank you! Maybe next step.. Apple Watch compatible? **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for your kind review. About the Apple Watch companion, that's something that I've never explored yet. But I'll look into it. Regards ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-05-24* It is a great app. It gives many choices for both cabin and flight deck crew rest breaks. And it rounds off the breaks which is very helpful. It had some glitches with the new iOS update but that has been fixed !! Thank goodness because the other app I used during that time got the job done but was not as good. ## Frequently asked questions about Crew Rest ### What does the Crew Rest app do?
