CrewSchedule Pro is a schedule, pay and logbook companion built for Envoy Air pilots and flight attendants flying the Embraer 170/175. YOUR MONTH, EXACTLY AS PUBLISHED Import your monthly award and every pairing's full detail — report and release times, each leg's routing and block, layover cities, deadheads, credit and time away from base. Turns, layovers and reserve days are laid out day by day, with a trip inspector for any pairing. PAY YOU CAN CHECK Credit, flight pay and per diem worked out for every trip, from the figures the airline printed and your contract rate — never estimates dressed up as facts. OPEN TIME AND LEGALITY Browse open time and drop-board pairings, see which ones fit around your existing schedule, and check FAR 117 rest and duty limits before you commit — then make the pickup or trade on the airline's own system, with nothing committed until you approve the airline's confirmation screen. LOGBOOK THAT FILLS ITSELF A pilot logbook seeded from your flown legs, with out/off/on/in actuals matched from live FAA flight data and an optional GPS flight matcher that recognises the airports you depart and arrive at while the app is open. FAMILY CALENDAR Share a private calendar subscription with the people at home, so they always know when you report and when you are back — flights, layovers and hotels, kept private to one link you control. ALSO • Reserve tools: callout queue, proffer reminders and turnback lists • Weather briefing map with your own position • Base-aware for ORD, DFW, MIA and PHX • Cloud backup of your schedule, logbook and profile, tied to your account SUBSCRIPTION CrewSchedule Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription, $14.99 per month (or the equivalent in your local currency), billed to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CrewSchedule Pro at 3.7 against PORTSIDE FOS's 1.2. CrewSchedule Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). PORTSIDE FOS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (49 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CrewSchedule Pro holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PORTSIDE FOS has 49 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of PORTSIDE FOS's written reviews are positive against 0% of CrewSchedule Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PORTSIDE FOS ships an update every 4 months, CrewSchedule Pro every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
