*** THIS IS A TRANSITION UPDATE. BEFORE UPDATING, DO NOT FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR INFORMATION TO ICLOUD. ***
(BACKUPS CAN BE CREATED BY ENABLING ICLOUD UNDER BACKUP IN SETTINGS AND THEN TAPPING BACK UP NOW. SUBSEQUENT AUTOMATIC BACKUPS WILL BE CREATED PERIODICALLY BY THE APP.)
- Completed flight cards have a green border and are placed at the end of their respective type group or the general list.
- For incomplete cards, a notification is set 1 hour before departure, or 1 hour before the end of the linked shift if there is no departure.
- When the planning view is opened, it automatically scrolls to the current shift; manual scrolling positions are preserved.
1.5.1 6d ago
***IMPORTANT: PLEASE BACK UP YOUR DATA TO ICLOUD FROM APRONBOARD SETTINGS BEFORE UPDATING.***

Photos & documents
