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.

Almost useless

Fails to sync on three of four attempts. Even when it does sync, it fails to download all trip data. Used to be reliable, but for about three months now, has been a nightmare.

Needs to fix bugs

Erases times randomly when inputted so you have to input times multiple times. When you submit it says submitted then goes to logged and replaced times with other numbers not inputted. You have to submit your times multiple times before they finally show submitted. Even then it will give you block time errors or replace your inputted information.

Logging out 4 times per day

Seriously, FOS has the capability to doing some amazing things BUT its usefulness is exceeded by its design flaws. Why am required to resubmit reports multiple times? Why am I required to log in (up to 4 times in a 24 hour period) to check my schedule? In recent weeks, I have spent more time troubleshooting; deleting and reinstalling this app, attempting to make sure I am running the most current version and logging back in and making corrections, than I do any other function. When I have to renter my credentials multiple times in a day just to log in and check my schedule, the program then fails to become a resource and becomes more or less an unreliable “annoyance.”
