Newly featuring a super handy GMT Time Calculator / Alarm!
(Set it for 15 prior to TOD for your "Have a Great Night" PA, or 15 prior to FIR boundaries for radio calls). NOTE: Please advise fellow pilots of expected alarm so they are not startled (ask me how I know :D ).
Determine flight rest break schedules with just a few taps. Set corresponding "Wake-up / Call Time" alarms with another tap or three instantly.
Flight Data FORM, Spinners, and Time Calculators makes Data Entry a breeze.
Mid Flight Duty Period (FDP) is estimated and displayed. Simplifies figuring break times for Flying Pilot break in 2nd half of the FDP.
Super Versatility: Breaks can:
1) Be evenly divided,
2) Have their durations independently adjusted or
3) Shared 13/24 or 13/2 with 2 twice as long
Mix, Match, add that FAR 2 hour break at the flights end... use your imagination...
Flashing guidance and suggestions to restart / initialize the app provides optimal data entry sequence. It's like a Flight Rest Calculator with LNAV!... guiding you to a schedule solution... Once familiar, "Preference" "Rapid" data entry and load Start Stop times even more quickly!
Designed for phones, and works great on Tablets too!
Automatically suggests "New Flight" to refresh data and eliminate the possibility of using previous flight data. BreakCalc info persists through power cycles and other app usage.
Predictive default break lengths corresponding to the number of breaks to speed data entry whether a short pond hop or a global leap.
Independent alarms sound and/or vibrate at conclusion of breaks. Wake to Vibrate and/or Loud, Medium, Soft, Quiet. Either a "Pager Beep" high pitch loud pierces through cockpit noise or an authentic "Rooster Crow", ... a short duration sounds that cover the audio spectrum for awareness without being too obtrusive or the need to shut off.
Optional Data Lock to help prevent inadvertent loss of calculated data. Lock the data, put the phone in your pocket and have the alarm vibrate to gently wake you without disturbing others.
Optional Rounding to the nearest 5 minutes.
Alarms trigger Android's Notification screen providing optional quick return to the Flight Rest Calculator from any other phone app or game.
Accommodates 1, 2, 3 or 4 break periods, and break times to 24 hours.
Customizable - Preferences Input Screen: Set your preferred "Default" Wake-Up Times, Alarm Type and Time Input Widget style...The "Defaults" you set will re-appear each time an alarm is set, so you won't need to change settings as often.
Added Value- Software Fault Surveillance: A software crash triggers an anonymous descriptive report to the developer to quickly resolve any problem. Surveillance is handy for Android Operating System changes, phone changes, or if I introduce accidentally introduce a software bug my zeal to provide you with the best Flight Rest Calculator on Earth. I'll receive details over wi-fi or shortly after you coast in.

Latest updates
What's new in version 1.69
New! A UTC Time Calculator / Alarm is added to Main Page; A unique, elite tool.I've found the Time Calculator very useful. ie. Before takeoff - compare the dispatch vs FMS computed total flight times. If the wind forecast changes, early or late push, etc. you can easily compute the cost index that will get the desired landing time.
The UTC alarm is great for to remind you to contact Oceanic facilities, or just a reminder for yourself.
Oh, and it's fantastic! :D

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★I have played with this a few times and it works! I had a few questions for the developer and he is very fast to respond. The responses are in detail so if you are having any issues with this app, be sure to ask him about it. In other similar versions that I have been using, they do a great job of calculating the rest period in equal amounts. This app actually complies with FAR-117 so there is not "tweaking" like in other apps. WYSIWYG once you set in the times. The "minutes prior to end of break" timer is limited to +60 on the app. Is there any way to extend that beyond +60? I know that it is not the norm, but there have been requests. Great app!!! Thanks for not lying to your wife about it being the "Best Flight Rest Calculator on Earth".....so far, it is!!!
5 ★He should know. He wrote it. I do know he is both a software engineer and a pilot, and he is very techy!
