Release Overview
CrewApp Version 3.30 introduces several new features and improvements designed to enhance the crew experience. This release focuses on improving task management, roster navigation, flight information display, and report handling.
| 1 | Roster Display Select |
A new shortcut button has been added to the roster screen in the top right corner, allowing crew members to quickly change the roster display mode without navigating through settings.
How It Works
- A new display-mode icon appears in the top toolbar area of the roster screen (highlighted with an orange circle on first use).
- Tapping the icon opens a contextual menu with display options: Collapse all, Expand all, toggle between large and small icons, and toggle between ICAO and IATA codes.
- Selecting an option immediately updates the roster view.
- The selected display mode persists according to the existing app behaviour when navigating away and returning.

| 2 | Calendar Today Date Highlight |
The monthly calendar view now visually highlights today’s date, making it easier for the crew to find it when reviewing their schedule.
- The highlight can be set to different colours based on airline, but it requires a build.

| 3 | Custom Time Values on Flight Info |
We are changing the way times are displayed in the app for flights, moving the times previously greyed and small font below the main time into their own row of times. This allows for custom time values to be added to the row, space allowing.
How It Works
- Custom time values appear in the departure and arrival information sections of the flight detail screen, alongside existing standard values such as STD, ETD, and T/O.
- Time fields are configurable per airline’s requests. It requires customisation depending on which time and what system involved.
- For example, CTOT (Calculated Take-Off Time) or borading time would be a time value we can push for an airline that uses the N-OC system.
- Time values are customised on a case-by-case basis to activate this feature.
- Time value could also be highlighted with a colour block if requested.
- Please let us know the time values you request to display.

| 4 | Task List Progress View |
The task list (TO DO tab) has been significantly improved with a new progress view that provides a clearer overview of task completion status and removes clutter of already completed tasks.
Progress Bar and Auto-Collapse
- Each task group (e.g. Pre-flight and Post-flight) now displays a progress bar in its header, showing the ratio of completed tasks (this does not apply to “read-only” tasks).
- Completed tasks are automatically collapsed (folded) under the progress bar header by default, so only incomplete tasks remain visible in the list.
- Tapping the progress bar header toggles expand/collapse, allowing the crew to review completed tasks when needed.
- When all tasks in a group are completed, the header’s right-side control changes to a green checkmark, matching the style of individual completed task items.

| 5 | Saved Reports List |
Filling out reports during a turnaround is often interrupted — a gate change, a passenger issue, or simply running out of time. Until now, partially completed reports risked being lost or had to be restarted from scratch, particularly for ground staff when flights with half-complete reports go out of the scope of the arrivals/departures section.
Version 3.30 introduces a dedicated Saved Reports list that finds any unsubmitted forms that have been saved to the device in one place. Every unfinished report is preserved on-device, organised by type and flight, and ready to be opened, completed, and submitted whenever the crew member or ground staff is ready — even while offline.
Please request this feature if you would like to have it turned on for the new app update.

Key Capabilities
- All reports that have been saved but not yet submitted are displayed in a single, easy-to-find list accessible from the main menu.
- Each entry shows key details at a glance: report title, flight number, aircraft registration, creation context, and submission status.
- Once a report is complete, the user can submit it directly. Submitted reports are removed from the saved list (or marked with a green checkmark, depending on the submission path).
Menu Visibility
- The “Saved Reports” menu item appears in the main navigation menu only when at least one saved report exists on the device.
- If no saved reports are present (e.g. after all have been submitted or deleted), the menu item is automatically hidden, keeping the interface clean.
Report List Organisation
- Saved reports are grouped by report type (e.g. Cabin Service Report, Pilot Report, Ramp Report).
- Within each group, reports are sorted by flight departure date with the earliest departures at the top of the list as they are expected to be due first.
- On the right side, a number in brackets shows the number of saved forms on the device for that report.
- Submitted reports within the list display a green checkmark on the flight icon and show the count of saved forms which have not been submitted yet, even though the report has been.
Submitting Reports
Reports can be submitted from two locations, each with slightly different behaviour:
- From the TO DO list: The report is removed from the Saved Reports list upon submission.
- From the Saved Reports list: The submitted report stays in the list with a green checkmark, allowing the user to review it. The count of saved forms is displayed next to the entry. Previously submitted forms are also accessible.
Editing and Adding Report Items
The Saved Reports list also serves as a full editing workspace. Users can open any saved report to review existing items, edit their content, or add new report items — all without needing access to the flight's TO DO tab. Changes are preserved on save, and the item count updates in real time to reflect any additions.
- All edits and additions are synchronised with the Flight TO DO tab. Changes made from either location are visible in both, ensuring a single, consistent view of the report.
- When ready, the user can review all items — whether added from the TO DO tab or the Saved Reports list — and submit everything together.
This workflow is particularly valuable when a report is no longer visible in the TO DO tab, whether due to a configured time limit or because ground staff have switched stations and can no longer see the original flight. Once reports are submitted, they will be removed from the Saved Reports list.
Deleting Reports
- For unsubmitted reports: Swipe left to reveal a red “Delete” button. Deletion requires confirmation to prevent accidental loss. If the deleted report was the last one, the menu item is hidden.
- For submitted reports with saved forms: Swipe left to reveal “Delete saved” (red). After confirmation, the saved forms are removed, but the submitted report itself remains viewable.
- For submitted reports without additional saved forms: Swipe left to reveal “Remove.” No confirmation is needed. The report is removed from the list.
