Helpful tips

Install it to your home screen

Runs full screen with no address bar, and the app itself works with no signal. See Add to home screen at the bottom of the page.

Star what you use

Tap the ☆ on any tile to pin it to a Favorites row at the top. Saved on your phone only — everyone's is their own.

Tap the shift bar

The date bar at the top opens a month calendar showing the shift letter for every day.

Live Daily Manning

Opens today's crew by station right in the app instead of the sheet — "as of" up top is when the sheet itself was last edited, and ⟳ pulls a fresh copy on demand. A unit shows Not updated if its roster is identical to the last tour day, after 0700 — a real signal nobody's touched it yet, not just a dropdown someone forgot to flip.

Set your shift

The blank circle next to this ⓘ button sets your shift (A/B/C) — it's what lets the calendar show your pay periods (120hr vs 96hr, marked by the colored edge on each period's start/end day) and reminds you before one closes. Tap it any time to change it. Nothing is shared — it's saved on your phone only.

Using OnePass

OnePass is UHC's separate fitness & wellness rewards app — gym access, wellness activities, that kind of thing. It's not the same app as Health Insurance above; both come from UHC, but they're two different apps for two different things. Sign in to OnePass with your UHC health-plan login, same one you use at myuhc.com.

Known limits

City Network tiles copy instead of opening

Those pages only exist inside the city network, and there's no station WiFi — they can't load on a phone on any connection. Tapping one copies the address so you can paste it on a city computer.

Store tiles land on the store page

They open the App Store / Play Store listing. Tap Open there to launch the app. A web page can't press that button for you.

Web Only tiles won't open the app

Pulsara opens the website even if you have the app installed. That's on Pulsara's end — no fix available.

Coming Soon tiles show a popup instead

BFD hasn't sent over what's needed for these yet (a form, a document). They'll switch to real links as soon as that comes in.

Monthly Maintenance and IT Contact open in the app

These aren't links out — the schedule and contact numbers are built right into the app, so they work with no signal.

Search only covers tile names

It matches link names and descriptions, not the text inside pages. No typo tolerance either.

Only the app works offline

The tiles and calendar stay available with no signal. The pages they link to still need a connection.

Not built yet

Opening apps directly

App tiles go to the store listing for now. Each one gets switched to open-the-app-directly only after it's tested on a real phone.
