### 4/5 — Great, simple

*2023-06-05*

Its great and simple, which is almost perfect. The last thing it needs is a decent alarm, not just a notification, which isn’t enough to wake most of us up. Right now, we need to setup an alarm separately.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! You are completely right. Unfortunately at the moment iOs doesn’t allow third party apps to mess with alarm settings. I’ll continue to improve the app based on your feedback

### 5/5 — Easily the BEST app out there!

*2020-11-17, version 13.1*

I’ve tried numerous apps, but this one is CLEARLY the go-to app for my ipad!! Those reviews of less than 5 are wrong (and there’s no way I’d want to fly as a passenger of a plane flown by some of those reviewers. Lol)! Want a LSSL schedule? Just use the SLLS option and adjust the times. For those who think u need a gap between breaks (cuz you can’t use 0 and have a standardized 10 min warning and you want a BUNCH more times to write down), that option is available. You can even undo the gaps. Best is the very cool round-up feature when the Capt asks for round numbers vs to the minute. Now, you can even undo the round-up to fine tune the numbers if u like. The handful of other apps I see used are getting replaced by this one. Clearly THE winner!!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2020-04-23, version 10.0*

Simple easy to use, straight forward calc for crew breaks.  AAL 787 international FO, China flyer

### 3/5 — I like the app, but...

*2020-01-24, version 10.0*

We need the ability to do a lot of differing rest schedules. There’s SLLS but not LSSL.  We need these to be customizable or at least  rearrangeable.  We also need a buffer setting between periods because it’s easy to implement.

### 4/5 — Please add 2 functions

*2019-12-23, version 10.0*

Great App!  I use it every time I fly.  I would absolutely rate it 5+ if you would add 2 functions:

1) a countdown timer (nothing like being able to see how much time is left on break rather than having to do time-zone math while on rest)

2) Apple Watch App.  

Thanks!

### 3/5 — Needs fresher look

*2019-09-18*

App works ok,
However it looks very old fashioned

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2019-09-16*

The best crew rest app out there. Very well designed.

### 5/5 — Easy useful app

*2019-08-27*

This takes all the hard calculation out of rest breaks. It’s easy to use and very useful for long haul flights.

### 5/5 — Superb Break Calculator

*2019-05-20, version 10.0*

This program has it all!  Love it! I didn’t think I would be able to find a replacement for my previous program which calculated breaks. Couldn’t be happier!! Highly recommend.

### 3/5 — Needs changeover time

*2018-04-04, version 9.1*

Intuitive and easy to use. However, there is currently no option to set the amount of time between rest periods (eg time to allow the sleeping crew to wake, and get into the seat and for the working crew to go back, prepare their bunks, and begin rest). Even a 5, or 10 minute fixed option would be great. As it is now, I always have to ask the other pilot if he/she has a crew rest app. Mine takes too much mental math. Please add this feature!
