What Crew GO! keeps, and where.

Effective 14 September 2026 · applies to the test builds of Crew GO! for iPhone and Android and to crewgotravel.com

Crew GO! is made by Brian Stewart, an airline pilot, for airline crew who commute. The short version: during testing the app has no server of its own. What you type stays on your phone. The app talks to a small number of outside services to get flight and weather data, and to you by email when you choose to send something.

What stays on your phone

• Your profile. Work email address, airline, base and home airports, pilot or flight attendant, how often you commute, and your plan. Stored only on the device.
• Your searches, watched routings, and commute setup. Report time, primary and backup routings, and the snapshots you keep.
• Loads you mark from your own airline's system. Never shared with anyone. The app says so on the screen where you enter them.
• The error log. Up to fifty recent problems with a short code, kept so that Settings, Diagnostics can show them. They leave the phone only when you tap Send.

Settings, Reset erases all of it. Deleting the app erases all of it.

Permissions the app asks for

• Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint. Used only to unlock the app. The check happens on the device through the operating system. The app never sees or stores biometric data.
• Calendar. Writes one event per flight when you tap Add to calendar, and reads the next two weeks of events when you tap Pick from my calendar so you can choose a report time. Event contents are used on the device to fill in one time and are not sent anywhere.
• Notifications. Not requested in the test builds.
• Location. Never requested.

Outside services the app contacts

• Aviation Edge for airport boards and schedules. The request carries the airport code and date, never who you are.
• aviationweather.gov, run by the United States government, for airport weather. The request carries the airport code.
• Expo for app updates. The update check carries the app version and platform so the right build is served.
• Apple or Google when you tap Rate, through the standard in-app rating prompt.

The app shows no advertising and contains no advertising or analytics software.

Loads shared between crew

When you ask other crew for the loads on a flight, or answer someone else's request, the flight number and the numbers you type are shared with verified crew inside the app. Answers show without your name. Loads are what a crew member's screen showed at the time and are never verified by the app or by any airline. Do not rely on them alone. During testing the sharing feature runs on sample data on the device.

What you send us

Rate and feedback, Send report in Diagnostics, and the crash card all open your mail app or the share sheet with a message addressed to us. Nothing goes until you send it. The message includes the app version, your phone model and system version, and recent error codes, so we can find the problem. The form on this site sends your name, email, and message to Brian by email. We keep those emails to answer you and delete them when you ask.

What we do not do

• Sell, rent, or trade anything about you.
• Track you across other apps or sites.
• Show your name on a load answer.
• Post anything publicly.

Children

Crew GO! is for working airline crew and is not directed at anyone under 18.
