Easy to use even at 2am body time ### 4/5 — De mucha Ayuda *2013-07-28, version 1.3* No se pierde tiempo pensando a como toca el descanso. ### 5/5 — SEQU *2013-03-23, version 1.0* Nice, simple...just what is needed for a good rest calculation! Keep those aviation apps coming! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need to set time between rest periods *2018-02-18, version 9.1* The app would be fine if I could simply set the amount of time desired between rest periods. It seems so obvious. Without this feature, the app is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-01-22, version 1.8* Don't even try it. I just waisted my money. Awful ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-01-21, version 1.8* Very poor and basic design. This program does not allow any time between the rest. How can one come back from the rest when another starts exactly the same time!? Waste of money. I want refund. Did not even use it once. Very useless ### 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. ### 3/5 — Needs fresher look *2019-09-18* App works ok, However it looks very old fashioned ### 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! ### 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 ### 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! ### 4/5 — This App is great! *2018-02-01, version 9.1* This app allows you to change the ratio of different rest periods, allowing a targeted L or S. The one thing the app is missing is the ability to have a set amount of time between the rest periods, i.e. the minute one rest period ends, another starts. You can’t set 5 or 10 minutes between periods, but it is easy mental math to apply this yourself. ### 4/5 — Does what is says *2015-03-07, version 1.8* The guys who wrote the negative reviews are morons. You don't need the app to build in time between the rest breaks. Just wake the guy up 10 minutes before the end of his break. Duh. The calculations here are exactly what I needed. Not the best crew rest app, but it's good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-01-16, version 9.0* This is a good replace for the app we all used for years, cruise rest, I still doesn’t have all the functions of Bob Steinicks app yet, but I’ve made some suggestions and they were very acceptable to them, like a countdown timer while you on break. Next is we need a ratio application to the beak app but that’s harder to explain. But for now, this is the only go to long haul crew rest app on the market. UAL 787 pilot ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2018-01-15, version 9.0* This is a great app if you are a long haul pilot. Easy to use. No math calculations required. I gave it a 4 only because it needs the alert added for the final rest period which I understand is coming. I highly recommend this app! ....now that the latest revision has the alert added for the final rest period, I have changed my rating to a full five stars. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2017-12-04, version 7.0* The app was exactly what I wanted. A simple yet effective way to input off time , flight time from the flightplan, have the app calculate the on time, and then calculate rest periods based on the Crew composition or rest strategy. The developer used my suggestion to allow the app the calculate on time based on the flight time. Some of the other available apps did not allow the flight time to be used, I instead had to do the mental math. Thanks for listening to my suggestion. It’s my one and only go to Crew rest app! ### 5/5 — Only Rest App you’ll need *2017-12-03, version 7.0* I went through three other crew rest apps trying to get the functionality I had with my old app, that iOS 11 killed. :( This is the only one with versatility and adjustable alarms. Don’t waste your money or time on any other app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-10-22* This does exactly what I want it to do, the developer is very responsive and I use the app every time I go to work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
