What's in the app

  • The map

    Open the map in any city. Filter by what's open now or by category.

  • The spot page

    Opening hours in local time, walk times worked out on your phone, crew photos, and prices and booking tips from crew who went. Tap for drive and transit times where Apple Maps has them.

  • Search

    Type what you need, like late food, open now. The app searches the city's crew spots on your phone, with or without signal.

  • Add a spot in a minute

    Find the place on Apple Maps, pick a category and write one line about it. Other crew can see it as soon as it's posted. A dropped pin, or a place with no Apple Maps category or place ID, waits for our approval first.

  • Your places

    Save spots for your next trip. Keep private places only you can see, and share one with crew when you're ready. Bring your Google Maps lists in as a private checklist.

  • Offline and shareable

    Save a city before you fly and it works without signal. Share any spot to WhatsApp with a proper preview.

Sign-up and privacy

You sign up with your airline work email and a 6-digit code. Others see a nickname and a role. Your airline stays private.

  • Other crew see your nickname, your role and the month you posted.
  • The app never stores your email address. It keeps a scrambled fingerprint of it. Our email provider, Postmark, keeps the code email for a while, and the privacy policy says how long.
  • The app refuses hotels and other places to stay, and you can report anything that slips through.
  • Your location stays on your phone. Apple Maps gets it only when you ask for travel times.
  • Searching for a spot runs on your phone, and what you type stays there.
