WHAT'S INSIDE • Crew-Reviewed Hotels & Tips Real reviews and insider tips from working crew. Find the quiet floor, the best breakfast, the nearest pharmacy — all from people who've actually stayed there. • My Mood Engine Tell us how you feel — Eat, Chill, Explore, or Surprise Me — and get nearby places matched to your mood, walking distance, and ratings. Powered by crew picks plus OpenStreetMap so you'll always find something good. • Jet Lag Recovery Engine A simple fatigue self-assessment that gives you a recovery score, sleep insight, and a personalized plan based on your schedule and time-zone change. • Prayer Times & Qibla Accurate prayer times for any city, an in-flight prayer calculator that works fully offline at 35,000 feet, and a built-in Qibla compass. • Currency Converter Live exchange rates for every layover currency — no more mental math at the souk. • City Guides Hand-picked, crew-curated guides to every layover city: top neighborhoods, transit tips, safety notes, weather, and what's open right now. • SOS Hub One screen for emergency numbers, nearest hospital, embassy contacts, and lost-passport steps in your current country. • Meet Crew (Privacy-First) Optional opt-in feature to discover other crew on the same layover. Mutual intro required before any chat. Reports, blocks, and message expiry built in. • Works Offline Save your hotels, prayer times, and city guides for the flight.
