ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FlyStandby holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inflight CrewRest has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Inflight CrewRest's written reviews are positive against 0% of FlyStandby's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Inflight CrewRest ships an update every 3 months, FlyStandby weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
