more This app has been a life saver for me. It takes the high stress of scheduling students and trying to stay on track with when you have clients so I never had conflicting schedules

I’m not a school owner, just a student. But of all the scheduling websites I’ve used, it’s nice to finally have a good app that does everything I need.

When trying to reset your password the app sends you a link that just takes you back to the login. Infinite loop. No way reset it or contact them for support. Not great

Pre-flight weather is taken from the airport you picked, not a nearby station.
Each aircraft can keep its current POH and weight and balance. Staff add them from the aircraft page; bookers can open the ones marked for them. Photos show on the page. Tap one to zoom. Papers use a real title (POH, not the camera filename).
When you report a squawk, or add a note, you can attach photos from the camera or your library, or a PDF. Those photos show on the page.
On an open inspection, the paperclip next to Sign off opens working files. Photos and PDFs copy onto the signed record.
Public discovery-flight requests show the guest's name. After you approve, Invite as student or Invite as renter sends a normal invitation.
Students and renters who need approval see Submit request instead of Book. Owners and dispatchers get Booking requests on the calendar.
A discovery or other package-price booking shows Collect payment until the guest pays. Instructors and desk can send the Stripe invoice or record a check or cash. After close-out, the phone shows the package as billed.
8.5.2 Sep 10
Faster iPhone setup, easier airport and aircraft entry, a steadier calendar, and booking times that follow your school’s rules.
8.5.1 Sep 4
Widgets for your iPhone, real maintenance tracking, and a faster schedule.
• See your next flight on your home screen and lock screen.
• Track inspections by days, weeks or calendar months, and keep a permanent record when one is signed off.
• Add notes to a squawk as the work moves along.
• See what each aircraft owes at a glance, and filter the fleet by it.
• Technicians can put an aircraft back on the line.
• Record an aircraft's serial number from the data plate.
• Swipe the calendar between days.
• The schedule updates itself while you are looking at it.
• Your filters and the day you were on stay put when you open a booking.
• Know when an aircraft you have booked goes off the line.
• Tap any count on Home to open exactly those rows.
• A documents page for the whole school.
• Correct a flight after you have closed it out.
8.5.0 Sep 3
Home now answers you honestly, and the lists behind it are faster.
WHAT NEEDS YOU
- Every number on Home opens the rows it counted, already filtered. Tapping "3 overdue invoices" now lands on those three, not on a list that could not contain them.
- Awaiting close-out, Open squawks and Due reminders agree with the lists they open.
- Awaiting close-out no longer lists bookings nobody turned up for. It asks whether the flight actually left the ramp, not just whether the hours were recorded.
- Currency status opens a real list instead of an empty search box.
- Home tells you if you have been grounded and why, including when the reason is unpaid invoices. Grounding stops aircraft, not ground school or the simulator.
FLYING AND BILLING
- A flown, unbilled flight shows Create invoice, or Post to ledger, as its main button. The action you came for is the one you see.
- The invoice date filter only offers periods an invoice can fall in. Next week could only ever come back empty, so it is gone.
- Picking your own date range on Invoices now keeps the dates you picked.
- Add funds opens as a normal sheet with the amount, the card, the fee and the total charge each on their own line, and the card fee is explained in plain text you can actually read on a phone.
PERMISSIONS
- The app now asks the server what you are allowed to do instead of guessing. That restored a lot of things the app was hiding from people who were entitled to them, and stopped it offering a few it should not have.
- You can see what a member is allowed to do from the phone.
FASTER, AND MORE HONEST, LISTS
- Long lists load as you scroll: reservations, invoices, your notification inbox and your account ledger. These used to stop at the first thousand rows without saying so.
- The notification badge is counted by the server, so it no longer goes quiet when a request fails.
- Home's list styles are now one style, and every section on Home lines up with the ones above and below it.
FIXES
- Two crashes after tapping something in the + menu.
- Two Needs you links went to the wrong place.
- The compliance counts land on the right people.
8.4.8 Aug 27
New
• Book a Shared flight: several pilots in one aircraft with no instructor, each with their own invoice under your school's splitting rules.
• Resources has its own list in the menu, filtered by Aircraft, Simulators or Rooms. People filters the same way.
• Choose which Google calendar your flights sync to, in Settings, Calendars.
• Payment Methods can now add a card, through Stripe's secure form.
• Time zones now cover the whole world, searchable, with US zones still at the top.
Scheduling
• Home shows the flight you are in as Current flight, instead of jumping to the next one.
• The calendar no longer cuts off early-morning or late-evening flights, and follows your school's own flying hours.
• Opening the start or end time on an existing booking shows the time already booked, and scrolls to it.
• A dual booked with no aircraft can be edited and saved without picking a plane.
• A booking you are already on no longer offers to put you on standby for it.
• Slot offer notifications include Accept, Decline and View. Tapping a reservation notification opens that booking.
Money
• Home's money card now matches how your school bills, whether that is unpaid invoices or your account balance.
• Invoices list each charge once, with cents. A split booking no longer shows the whole flight's cost above your share.
Training and records
• A ground lesson with several students lists everyone on it, and each person can enter their PIN to review.
• Closing out a flight is tidier: the Complete sheet ticks who has signed, Done records your review, and a ground lesson with no instructor is ready to sign straight away.
• Fixed a blank grey panel when opening a currency such as a flight review, medical or aircraft checkout.
Fixes
• Availability set in the web console now opens correctly in the app, and picking a start or end time works again.
• Tap Got it on a school notice and it leaves your Home. You can still open it later from Announcements.
• Back from My Profile returns to Home. Admins, dispatchers and instructors have People in the menu.
• The aircraft page no longer shows sections you do not have access to.
8.4.7 Aug 17
• Booking forms stay quiet until Save; errors sit under the value
• Tap the dimmed area above a sheet to close it
• Every list picker has Search, and plane/student rows use the same text size
• Custom repeat uses normal form rows; picker lists line up with the form
• Invite and Bulk Invite are tighter; email is labelled Email
• Grounded only stays on one line; filter section titles line up with their options
• Late-night ends no longer offer the whole next day when overnight is off
• Deleting a school starts a 30-day countdown you can cancel
• Date, time, and chosen people on a booking all read the same way
• Student and instructor pickers show names again
8.4.6 Aug 11
NEW
• Repeating bookings. Book something that happens every week — pick the days and when it stops, and the whole run is booked in one go. Repeating bookings show a ↻ on the schedule, and cancelling one asks whether you mean this booking, this and all later ones, or the whole series.
• A smarter repeat picker. Pick your date and it offers cadences that already make sense for it — "Weekly on Monday", "Every 2 weeks on Monday", "Monthly on the fourth Monday", "Annually on July 27", "Every weekday". Custom covers anything else: every N days, weeks, months or years.
• Duplicate a reservation. Book another one just like it — the aircraft, the people, the instruction type and the notes carry over; you just pick when.
• Recording why a booking was cancelled. Cancelling now asks for a reason type — weather, aircraft maintenance, no-show and so on — as well as the note you always wrote, so the school can see what it's losing flights to.
• Pre-flight weather on the next-flight card. Your upcoming flight shows the weather at the field — a VFR/MVFR/IFR badge, the reporting station, wind, visibility and sunset — for flights in the next 12 hours.
• See grounded aircraft and open squawks before you book. When you pick an aircraft you can see straight away if it's grounded, with the reason, or has open squawks.
• See which aircraft each booking is for. Calendar blocks now lead with the aircraft — "N172TS · Dual Flight" — so a day's schedule is readable at a glance.
• Search for a student, instructor or renter when booking. The pickers now have a search box, and each person shows their email under their name.
• Set an instruction type on a guest reservation. A guest booking with an instructor can be given an instruction type, so a discovery flight is billed at the rate the school set for it.
• Announcements are visible again. They appear on the home screen and in the menu for everyone, newest first, with the date posted — and you can fold the section away. Expired ones stop showing.
FIXED
• Lessons in your own aircraft can be edited and cancelled again. A booking made with "Resource not listed" used to lock the moment it was created.
• Opening one aircraft after another no longer takes two taps. Go back from an aircraft and you're still on the tab you left.
• Tapping a notification now opens the reservation, squawk or invoice it's about, instead of the home screen.
• The app no longer signs you out when your connection drops — only when your session has genuinely expired.
• Shared currency links work again, and an old or unsupported link now lands you on Home instead of a red error screen.
