- App tries to predict when you took off and landed and auto populates it for you. It is always wrong.
- Never get notifications even though I have them on
- What were the changes to my schedule?
- Post Flight data fails to push
- When selecting Duty time On and Off. should be a simple, one time selection. Shouldn’t have to Include All, and re-enter a yes, I’m really coming in duty!
- Jedesmal bei einem update wird man ausgeloggt, muss man wieder das Passwort eingeben. Weiters bei jeder Öffnung der App kommt ein beliebiger Tag im Jahr2022. Offline Eingaben nicht speicherbar.
- Try to do the post flight and just enter times - sometimes it populates all sometimes it just goes blank- waste of time for simple data entry - Never should have changed from FOS !
- Id love if there was a slider to show me when duty ends (and updates when block times inputted), when im unavailable to be called and when next duty will start.
- When I’m inputting data in the post flight section, or just using the app and flight updates occur (new flights being assigned or updated) a notification banner slides in from the top and deselects anything you were working on meaning you need to start again. When this happens in bursts like at my company (multiple flights being released for the next day for instance) it makes the app unusable.
- Also I get multiple notifications on my phone and watch when flights are released. If I have 7 legs tomorrow I get 7 back to back notifications on my phone and watch. It should just be a single notification that flight are released for tomorrow and I can review them in the app.
- Opening any document under recap crashes the app. Currently running on IOS16.0 (20A362)
- Painfully slow. Every 5th time I open the app it takes me back to January 2015. When inputting post flight data it will often crash half way through and delete everything imputed, needing to start again. Great ideas in this app, poor execution.
- Incredibly slow after last update (18 Sep22) Until yesterday everything was fine, but the last update slowed down the app at the point it is almost unusable. Tried to delete the app and reinstall, tried to log out and log in again, nothing works, takes ages to update and freezes every time something is selected.
- The app was broken before, now worse with the update.
- Absolutely too slow with this latest update, who ever said I care about birthdays. If that’s what is important as opposed to scheduling and record keeping and slowing it down. Please remove it.
- Terrible app
- The App constantly looses data entered
- Try finding how to enter times
- Worst most complicated app ever
- Appli plante tout le temps, très nombreux bugs, interface mal foutue, génératrice d’erreur, ne fonctionne pas off line, très longue au chargement. Je HAIS cette application et bon nombre de mes collègues s’accordent avec moi pour dire que c’est de la M**** J ai mis une étoile car on peut pas mettre moins
