If you like Productivity, You’ll Hate this App
Sync, storage, updates, and interface are necessary but when it comes to this waste of space. You're better off finding another vendor.
Terrible app
Works 10% of the times and when it does it takes several minutes to update… terribly useless for pilots
Why
People live in space but I can’t see my calendar unless I let it load for 30 minutes. Do better
Battery drain
I have anxiety when I have to check my schedule on this app. Anytime you check it, the app completely updates, which takes anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes as the phone warms up. There is no quick check without a complete re-sync of all data. Incredibly slow, cumbersome and painful to use.
😵💫😵💫😵💫
Please upgrade this hunk of junk to include a background refresh feature!
This was a major step backwards…
This updated app is a major step backwards from the original FOS Mobile app. Imagine a calendar that you have to reference numerous times a week for nearly everything work related…now imagine that this calendar was a puzzle, and you have multiple items that require you to consistently open and close options simply to see what you have done/logged, or what you are scheduled to do. It quickly becomes unusable as a quick reference tool. Why did you keep the calendar view from the original app? I love Collins avionics, the ARINC services, the ARINC-direct app…but this was a poor decision on someone’s part in the new organization.
Horrible
The app has gone so far downhill in the last few weeks/months I hope that our company just switches to anything else soon. Works maybe 1% of the time if you have hours to keep trying to refresh everything and even then good luck trying to get all the information you need. Youd think maybe they would try to fix anything but it has only gotten worse more recently.
