What's New in Holdshort

3.0.1

October 22, 2026

What's new in 3.0.1: • Airport time everywhere: bookings now show in their location's local time, the same as on the web. If your phone is in another time zone, the app tells you and shows your own time where it helps. • Weight & Balance: type an exact fuel load in any unit (%, gal, liters, lbs or kg). The fuel slider now follows your finger, and a swipe from the screen edge no longer closes W&B and drops your changes. • Filters now work in the Week and Month views too. They open from a new funnel button beside the date arrows, with a badge for hidden resources. • Day view: up to three overlapping bookings sit side by side, and a backup booking no longer covers a maintenance block. • Landscape timeline: overlapping bookings get rows of their own, and waiting-list bookings show in their own color. • Booking reminders arrive again. • Document scans display again and stay when you reopen a document. • Custom fields on bookings are saved and shown when you view or edit a booking. • Maintenance blocks can be dragged to a new time. • Deleting a booking now asks for confirmation. • A start or end time typed into the time picker is no longer lost. • Fixed the Day view showing "No aircraft or simulators" after opening Resources. • If a screen runs into an error, the app now offers "Try again" instead of closing. • Improved sign-in security and a more reliable sign-out.

New Update Inop

New update does not function on iPad or iPhone. Will not let me edit persons onboard. Type a “1” in the field and hit enter and it say “must fill out the onboard info”. Totally broken in the new update as I am unable to log any flights.

Thanks for your feedback. We're releasing an update tomorrow to address this bug that I believe is associated with custom fields - we had caught it but weren't sure anyone in the field was experiencing this issue. If you find any other issues - please contact our support as we would have addressed this sooner. In any event, let us know if you still have an issue after the update to version 3.0.1; if it is not addressed, please contact us.

Sad

New update is awful. I can’t see my schedule anywhere but the dashboard, I can’t change between instructors or planes, and the day view is just blank

Hello - we patched this issue and it requires an app update. You may need to log out and in for it to take. Let us know! Thanks Can you update us if the issue has been resolved?

New update can’t see aircraft or instructors

This app has worked fine for me until the latest big update. Says there is no aircraft or instructors available for me to look at, but my desktop version shows me everything I have access to. Such a shame since it’s worked for years for me before!

Response from developer

Hello and thanks for your feedback. We caught this bug in our new App that pertains to some of our organizations and patched it. Could you please ensure you download the latest version if you haven't done so already and then you may need to log out and back in. Appreciate your patience. All should work now (please update your assessment if warranted). 9/26: Can you let us know if the issue has resolved? We're awaiting your feedback. Thanks.

Lots of serious flaws in concept

This is a resource scheduling app that does NOT help you find intersections of availability for critical resources.

I use it to schedule aircraft and instructors, but the only way to actually find a viable time window is to use the website to open multiple windows for each resource and manually compare busy times.

The entire concept is backwards. Show me available times, not busy times, then show the intersections of those available times.

The app is entirely web based and uses a very slow backend. Every click or keypress is sent back to the server, so it takes minutes just to enter your reservation.

You inexplicably HAVE to enter a comment for every reservation or it does a round trip to the server (slowly) and then rejects the reservation with a pop-up dialog you have to click the button on. Then you click on the comment field, wait for the server, type your comment (usually “aaa”), wait for the server, then submit again.

And finally, the absence of an iPad version is notable for all the pilots who use their iPad as a kneeboard.
