### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2016-09-24, version 1.3.39*

Excellent App that makes bidding and keeping up with the bidding schedules very easy. Quick editing for moving lines around and easy contact with other users for trying swops. It's Indispensible.

### 5/5 — Easy, straightforward bidding w!excellent support

*2016-07-27, version 1.3.35*

No more to say!

### 5/5 — The best I have used

Excellent app. Excellent support.  Thankyou.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2015-12-31, version 1.3.15*

Now that people have not only seen the excellent functionality, but the organic growth of the app, together with Alasdair's excellent support; this is now the 'go to' app for bidline users.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2015-02-03, version 1.2.10*

This is a superb app, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of numpties like me.  The app is often modified and updated, with superb support from the iBid team when required.  It's much, much better than any other bidding program I've used before.

### 5/5 — Great App !

*2013-10-21, version 1.1.14*

Intuitive, simple, powerful. And great customer support.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2013-08-31, version 1.1.7*

All works brilliantly. Support questions are answered quickly so please give Alisdair a chance to solve your problems before scoring low here. I have been using bidding progs for 25 years and this is easily the most user friendly. Can now leave the laptop at home.

### 5/5 — Great so far!

*2013-08-17, version 1.1.5*

Been trialling this for a couple of months on the 767 and it seems to work flawlessly for IB1, IB2 and viewing final rosters. eMaestro syncing works well and roster export to iCal was seamless. The best iPad bidding app I've seen so far.

### 1/5 — Cannot get to work

*2014-01-03, version 1.1.24*

Every time I use the app it crashes before I get anywhere. Various attempts to email support with no response.

### 1/5 — Early bugs?

*2013-06-30, version 1.0*

Doesn't seem to work?  Won't let me view previous months rosters, bid for the active period doesn't work, click to upgrade crashes app.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2015-08-11, version 1.3.6*

Great app for simplifying the roster. A few suggestions:
1 could you add a facility on the log book to add previous electronic log book data and/or be able to export ibid data to an existing electronic log book? (Logtenpro)
2 auto download option on the basic files

### 4/5 — You won't miss any of the PC-based bidding programs

*2013-11-06*

Bidline bidding was the last reason left to carry the chunky laptop on a trip. Remote Desktop workarounds were a poor alternative. Now that you're carrying that company iPad anyway, iBidline is really the way forward. The roster updating and line sorting features are brilliant, as well as finding out what fits for a potential swap. For commuters, it's exactly what you need too. It's even easy to look up operating crew and trip details on other fleets while logged into your bid. Well done to the developer, especially the trip award and bidding closure alerts. Finally the customer is listened to. The other providers might be viewed the blackberry in the iPhone era if they don't innovate an iPad solution soon...

Room for improvement? Yes: develop a decent print format that can be either exported for printing, sent to email or another app like HP ePrint or GoodReader. Capture hotel, time zone change and crew info with this for full marks.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t manage without it!

*2020-11-27, version 2.3.20*

Indispensable is really the only way to describe iBid - Alasdair is always very quick to respond to any issues, and the app itself has matured into something very special.
