User reviews

No user guide…

No user guide in settings mode. Not real intuitive on how to setup and use…
Cannot figure out how to STOP the banner from showing/END the app…playing with sample
Break times to understand the app better and I cannot get the program to stop functioning…🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Sorry the app isn’t meeting your expectations. If you can reach out to me via email I’d be happy to try and assist. If you click the app support link on the App Store page it will take to my support webpage with a contact option.

Great widget for augmented breaks

Handy widget for setting times for augment breaks. The software developer addressed all my issues and they’re all user error. Looking forward to using this on my next trip.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, it’s much appreciated. If I understand your features request correctly, all those things can be done currently. Edit default times - If you tap on the duration time of each break it can edited. However, if the first break has already started, you must be in static display mode (tap Static Display) to edit the first break time. Edit first break start time after running - This can be done in the Static Display mode. Tap Static Display, adjust after takeoff slider to set desired begin time. Sync - This can be done using Airdrop. Tap share button, select Airdrop, select recipients. For the receiver, on newer versions of iOS, to complete the import, Fast Breaks must be selected from a menu opened by the share button on the page that displays after transfer. If I have misunderstood your request, please reach out to me directly through the support webpage, so that I may better understand. mobilecodewrights.com. Thanks again.

Great widget for augmented breaks

Handy widget for setting times for augment breaks. Needs a few tweaks to be perfect. Wish it had the following:
1) edit default times. We have a min 2h for PF and min 1:30 for PM. The app automatically defaults to evenly distribute the breaks
2) edit first break start time after running. Edit other start times. We never know exactly when the first break will start. Also some times flight attendants not ready or passenger is in lav. Not an issue with class 1, but class 2 or 3.
3)crew member sync. All of us with the same app ability to push the same schedule to each other.

Love it so far keep up the good work.
