That's not the reason people want the app.

The app stores your schedule and allows offline access. The app easily allows you to press on the hotel name and dial the number. The app also allows you to tap on the flight number which does a Google search for the flight status and gate information. The app allows you to tap the airports and see current delays from / to those airports. The app allows one tap to see the crew members on your pairing. The app is a one tap away from an updated schedule. I can't login into FLiCA to check my schedule nearly as fast as I can with the app.

For all these reasons I am sold on the app.

The FLiCA app is useless except to download and view your schedule while offline so you don't have to log into the company website. It's also useful because you can click on the hotel phone number to call the van. You're really not missing much, but yes Android sucks.

The reason you see iOS apps but not android is because the 10 Android platforms have no standardization, so they would have to write 10 different versions. Apple is one and done.

I see you know as much about coding apps as you do about commandeering RJs.

The app I was talking about is called Flight Crew View. It is for android. And it is much better than the FLiCA iOS app.

I only suggest Puffin as a supplement to the app. Puffin allows for trip trading and a few other things you can do on the full website but not on the app. The app is fantastic for viewing schedules, much easier than logging in via Puffin each time.
