### 5/5 — Great app, but new bug with IOS 10.2.1

*2017-02-11, version 1.5.0*

Very useful and a great time saver when you need to calculate duty hours. One bug - updated to IOS 10.2.1 recently and cannot enter Inflight rest-cockpit anymore. Says undefined cell     Error. Other than that super job !

### 4/5 — The best, but to be really useful.....!

*2016-10-09, version 1.3.4*

The best EASA FTL calculator I've come across. 
To make it really standout from the others and to be truly useful, it should have a way to parse/import rosters.
Also, it would be useful to calculate/display "off duty" and not contactable between .... Earliest report ... (Start of standby + report time), and rules we can input for standby call out (no stby overnights reminder)
As these are the most frequently misunderstood "rules".
I know these matters cross into CBA/CLA areas, but the option to put in user defined "notes" would be helpful

### 5/5 — Useful must have

*2016-08-18, version 1.3.2*

Perfect. Unable to load from planning inserted in calendar but fast to enter. Just need a synchro between iPhone/iPad for an everyday easier use and single planning entry. With this app you know very quickly if you can accept or not a new planning and the inflight rest duration.

### 5/5 — zur Zeit bester EASA FTL Calculator im AppStore

*2016-06-15, version 1.2.0*

sehr guter und flexibler Flugdienstzeitenrechner. Die Postflugzeiten können angepasst werden ohne die  Settings verstellen zu müssen, ebenso kann eine Dienstzeit ohne Flugdienst als solche eingegeben werden.
Für mich der im Moment beste FTL Calculator im Store.

### 5/5 — Excellent and so easy to use.

*2016-05-02, version 1.1.0*

How anyone understands the new EASA FTL without an app like this is beyond me.  I tried the ECA free app and found it clunky and not very intuitive. However, this app is a delight to use and answers your questions before you realise you need to ask them!

Information screens are available which display the relevant rule at the appropriate place.

Highly recommended and well worth the small cost

### 5/5 — Flight Crew

*2016-04-10, version 1.0.6*

Fantastic app for keeping on top of the new EASA FTLs and some great features like roster import. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Sehr gut!

*2016-04-04, version 1.0.6*

Sehr gute App und sehr schneller und netter Kontakt mit dem Entwickler! Die App wird noch weiterentwickelt 👍🏻

### 4/5 — Cabin Crew

*2016-03-15, version 1.0.6*

Helped me to check whether my roster was legal or not. Took me some time to fill in parameters required but when I am more familiar with the app it will take less time. Great helping me to understand the new EASA rules.

### 5/5 — Excellent FTL Calculator!

*2016-02-06, version 1.0.3*

Just what I needed!

Data entry does take a bit of time, but it's worth it. After all, the subject is somewhat complex!

### 1/5 — More CPU USAGE !

*2023-01-31, version 2.4.7*

Only then when I start to use FTL back side of phone gettimg warmer and become to hot. Switch on/ off helps me to reduce tempture. You need to check. I updated to 16.3 still probleme resume. iphone 13 pro max.

### 1/5 — Does not upload roster

*2022-02-03, version 2.4.1*

It used to work but now it became frustrating. When I try to import my roster from roster buster I return with error message. Rosterbuster team can’t sort out the issue either. Shame

### 1/5 — Dazed and confused

*2018-12-26, version 1.8.2*

This app is way too confusing. Don’t waste your money or time.

### 1/5 — Y0 Mism0

*2017-10-17, version 1.6.6*

Se cierra al iniciar. ¿Compatibilidad con IOS 8.?

### 3/5 — Gute APP A B E R

*2022-04-28, version 2.4.3*

Läuft unter der aktuellen iOS Version 15.3.1 nicht auf meinem iPad
Nach löschen und neuer Installation ok aber alle alten Daten sind weg
Schade da ansonsten super APP

### 3/5 — Can’t Upload My Rooster

*2021-02-03, version 2.3.5*

The app seems nice but I can not upload my rooster of Turkish Airlines. I need to use another app - give some money for that app (roster buster) - than import my schedule to the app. This is not a user friendly situation. There is a huge customer/user potential with Turkish Airlines if the programmer manages to solve this handicap.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2020-01-24, version 2.2.0*

Really well done Ralf. Perfection will be when the app manages to download from the calendar also the stand by and simulators.

### 4/5 — Worth the price

*2019-06-08, version 1.8.8*

Ok so... we all know our airline employers will push our FDP to the max when it comes to cutting costs and generating revenue... so it pays to be aware of when to say “No, it’s not safe for me to operate, stand me down”. This app does all those pesky little calculations for you so you have the right information to hand.

It’s not the easiest layout to wrap your head around if you don’t know what you’re looking for, and let’s face it, no airline gives really thorough training on what FTL actually means for their Cabin Crew. But the import function really helps with that...

The best thing about this app is that you can pair it with RosterBuster and everything is imported and done for you. Your planned and actual hours are there in black and white and become highlighted for easy viewing if you go into discretionary/out of hours.

Definitely recommend, particularly for SCCMs who will have the teams welfare to consider as well as their own. 👍🏼

### 4/5 — Perfecto para calcular tus limites

*2019-05-05, version 1.8.7*

Yo la he utilizado para las imaginarias. 
Si pones la hora de inicio de la imaginaria (Standby), la hora de firma del vuelo que te puedan asignar (reporting time) y los parámetros como sectores, inflight rest y de qué tipo es (rest facility), número de pilotos etc (en vuelos de largo radio)... te calcula la hora límite de “ON BLOCK” del supuesto vuelo. 
Va muy bien para no liarte. Hay muchos parámetros que se nos escapan y esta App los tiene en cuenta. Sirve para tripulación técnica y auxiliar, sólo hay que especificarlo arriba en una pestaña.

### 4/5 — Nice and useful app

*2018-06-18, version 1.7.7*

Been using it for a couple of months now and it’s been great.
In the next update it would be cool to add an option to automatically use a preset period of rest during the flight for long haul flights.
Also, would it be possible to just update the performed hours iso re-importing the whole thing!!??

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-06-04, version 2.6.7*

Makes your life easier during daily ops, very helpful app, with all the FTL combinations (SBY, ASBY, in flight rest) and gives explanations and references to ORO.FTL

### 5/5 — useful app for pilots

*2024-12-25, version 2.6.5*

it is a nice tool to quickly see the times instead of searching on the documents. Updated regularly.

### 5/5 — The go to app for FTL

*2023-03-28, version 2.5.1*

Fantastic app that is regularly updated.

Imports from eMaestro which makes it really simple to use.

### 5/5 — Deserves 5 stars

*2019-05-30, version 1.8.8*

App is one of the best and useful app that I have ever used related to Aviation. Many thanks to the developer !

### 5/5 — Roster Upload

*2019-05-30, version 1.8.8*

App is great and so user friendly. If possible could you set new version Turkish Airlines roster upload directly? I may help you to integrate it to our system.

### 5/5 — Precise and problem solving

*2019-01-31, version 1.8.3*

This app is a little confusing when you first begin to use it but then it is really good and precise. This matter is complicated in nature so probably it will never be a simple solution. The import option on duty times is a lifesaver... I recommend this for all EASA pilots who want to keep track of duty limits.

### 5/5 — Invaluable!

*2018-06-10, version 1.7.7*

If, like me, your airline makes it impossible to understand the new EASA FTLs by using legalese then this app is for you!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-08-07, version 1.6.3*

Fast and really useful! Pls go on with future updates, great job!

### 5/5 — Beste App - bester Support!

*2017-04-09, version 1.5.2*

Absolut durchdacht, genial aufgebaut und übersichtlich - sehr empfehlenswert!

### 5/5 — EASA FTL Calc

*2017-02-18, version 1.5.1*

Wonderful app. Very precise and useful to check your personal FTL EASA limits!
