## Description

CONNECT - CrewLounge AERO is a comprehensive calendar and scheduling app designed specifically for airline pilots, flight attendants, and ground staff. It allows you to manually upload your flight roster from your airline crew portal and manage your schedule offline across all your devices including iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

Key features include exporting your flight schedule to popular calendar apps (iOS, Google, Outlook), sharing your roster with colleagues, real-time flight tracking for family and friends through a free web app, and in-app chat for individual and group communication without the need for external social media groups. Additionally, the app supports carpooling with nearby crew members, meeting others in outstations, and accessing favorite local restaurants and activities.

Beyond scheduling, CONNECT offers valuable tools like passenger headcount, in-flight rest time and hotel pick-up time calculators, currency exchange rates, hotel room sharing, parking location tracking, and destination briefings including weather, notes, and time zones. It also keeps a detailed duty history and integrates with pilot logbooks.

Free DEMO mode is available without registration or payment to test manual roster upload compatibility. Unlock all features through an in-app purchase valid across multiple devices and operating systems. Please note the app depends on airline roster file availability and official company schedules should always be consulted to avoid errors.
