What's New in Holdshort

3.0.2

October 28, 2026

Bug fixes and stability improvements: • Fixed an issue where some pilots, students and renters saw "Not Selected" instead of their base, with an empty schedule and no aircraft to book. It's fixed as soon as you update, with no need to sign out. • Fixed an error screen that some newly registered users saw right after signing in. • Your profile settings (time and date format, daily hours, sync frequency) now refresh every time you open the app, so changes made on the web show up without signing out. • If a screen fails to load, only that tab shows an error with a Try again button. The other tabs keep working, so you can still reach your profile and log out. • New accounts now see their actual daily hours and sync frequency in Edit Profile, and the schedule syncs hourly by default. • Security updates.

AWESOME

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.

Response from developer

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

Response from developer

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.
