FedEx App
 
I rarely had a need to check open time or trip swap, but I will need to do that for the next month or so. I currently don't have the FedEx app, but I was looking for feedback if it is worth getting. Is it still working as a way to get alerts when new trips drop into open time?

I really like the FedEx app for the IPhone, worth the money for me.

Really like it for the convenience of quickly getting on line to check the release, deviate, pairing, etc. The open time function is cool, but man it seriously drains the battery quickly. If you have a block of time you want to be hawking open time, then it is much more mobile then sitting at your computer hitting refresh. Overall well worth the cash for the app. Don't know about the open time cost. It's expensive, but it only has to work once to pay for itself. :cool:

It works on the iPad in 1x/2x.
Yes, working on an iPad version.
Yes, bidding on an iPad in future, can give no timeline.

Thanks I know it works on ipad but it sucks getting old so it would be nice to have it full screen.

Looking at getting the Auto poll feature, but have questions:

1. How often do you have to enter the Open Time 6 digit code to keep it polling?

2. If there is new Open Time via a poll, will it alert you with a chime (like new email) or do you have to keep checking your iPhone visually?

3. If away from home and using data plan (ie no wi-fi) does it eat up a lot of your data plan while it auto-polls?

Thanks for any answers.
