NOTICE !!! FxCal accesses a private website requiring user authentication and is useful to Fedex Express pilots only. APPLICATION DESCRIPTION FxCal is a site specific browser for the Fedex Express pilot web site. Just like a browser, it can cache information for later display, only optimized for the small screen. FxCal is so easy to use with one hand you will be tempted to ‘trip trade while driving’. Please do not. The basic FxCal program provides download and local storage of VIPS calendar and trip information, and submittal of drop requests. Password and eGrid can be stored for one touch login. VIPS events can be sent directly to your iPhone Calendar. An Auto Poll subscription allows viewing of open time, submittal of makeup and trades, and allows the program to refresh open time at preset intervals. A two month subscription is included with initial app purchase. FxCal provides an integrated trip swap bulletin board for pilots to post, view and reply. On the iPad, FxCal is a fully functional, next generation bidding solution! FxCal is not a ‘bot’ that bypasses codes or does automated trip trades. A tutorial is available at the link below. Please do not purchase this app if you are NOT a Fedex Express pilot as no refunds will be given. FxCal is not affiliated with or endorsed by Fedex Express.

Precise Timestamp records exactly when something happens, to the tenth of a second. Tap a button and the time is saved. Your phone's clock can drift by a second or more. So when the app opens, it checks the time against a time server, and you can see the last sync, the offset and the round trip time. That way you know how much to trust the numbers. What it does: - Record the time with one tap, or record when your finger touches the screen instead of when you lift it - Set up named, colored buttons like "Start", "Lap" or "Car 12", and each one labels its own events - Switch to relative mode to see every event as + or − from a reference event - Events are grouped by day, and you can add a description to any of them - Edit or delete events, or add one by hand if you missed it - Share your event log as plain text - 12-hour, 24-hour or UTC time, light or dark theme, and an option to keep the screen on - Choose your time server: pool.ntp.org, Google, Apple, Cloudflare or NIST
