UNYOP
Read full descriptionHide full description
UNYOP unifies the operation. Every flight has a dozen people working it. The radio only reaches your own department. A phone call reaches one person at a time. Word gets passed down a chain until it arrives late or after the fact, and on a turn that tight, late information is no information. UNYOP fixes that. Log onto a flight and you are instantly connected to everyone else working that same flight at that same airport. Different job titles. Different companies. Same aircraft, same conversation. WHAT YOU GET • Flight chat that includes everyone working the turn, not just your department • Live flight tracking with ETA, ETD, gate, and aircraft type • Notifications and countdowns you can read and reply to from your watch • Arrival and departure modules built separately because the work is different • Huddles for the moments the team needs to link up in person • Role selection, tasks, and timers • Shift logs and flight history you can look back on • Schedule views and quick edits BUILT FOR EVERY ROLE Ramp. Gate. Customer service. Fuel. Catering. Maintenance. Cargo. Supervisors. Airport operations. Contract or mainline, any carrier, any station. Built by someone who worked the ramp, the gate, and above wing. Not by someone who read about it. Your name is shared in chats. Your email and phone stay private. Location is used only to confirm you are at the same airport and for Huddles. Free version gives you 10 shifts quota, 300 board refreshes, and read-only chat access. You can upgrade to Pro to get 15 shifts daily quota, 100 board refreshes per day, and full access to chat feature. Pro version available in monthly and yearly plan, both with 7 days free trial for first time subscription. Recurring billing is done by default - you can switch off auto-renewal from Subscription menu in Settings. You can unsubscribe anytime after purchase, by turning off subscription from Subscription menu in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notify NYC at none against UNYOP's 2. Notify NYC also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 26.0). UNYOP's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
