RosterBuster not working? Fix sync and switch in one paste
Answer first: If RosterBuster is not working, not syncing, or the app will not load duties today, export or copy your roster now and paste it into Layvr (Roster → Import). You recover the duty timeline without waiting on CAE support, and you unlock pay estimates and verified layover crew from the same import.

Why this happens
RosterBuster is a CAE product. Crew publicly report premium features failing, forced manual crew-portal logins, and calendar integrations that stop after portal or privacy changes. Google Suggest itself surfaces rosterbuster not working, not working today, not syncing, and app not working, this is demand from frustrated users, not a marketing invention.
You cannot control their servers. You can control a file.
Recovery checklist (do this first)
- Export or copy now, open RosterBuster or the airline crew portal while anything still loads.
- Prefer CSV or iCal (or a RosterBuster paste) over hoping background sync returns overnight.
- Open Layvr → Roster → Import and paste or upload.
- Confirm the timeline, report times and sectors look right.
- Optional: use Layvr’s free calendar export if you still want duties on Google or Apple Calendar.
Step-by-step UI: how to import your roster.
RosterBuster not syncing
When Suggest says “not syncing,” the practical fix is the same as “not working”: stop depending on the pipe. A one-shot export into Layvr rebuilds the month. Keep RosterBuster installed for a week as an export bridge if you want, many switchers do, then drop it when the bridge is unused.
Calendar / Google Calendar broken
Play reviews often cite Google Calendar integration failing. Layvr does not need that integration to show your duties. Import the roster file, then export a calendar feed from Layvr if you still want a personal calendar mirror. Calendar export is free for verified crew.
What you gain after the paste
RosterBuster’s permanent gap is pay, and it has no verified layover map. After one import, Layvr is built around the line: the only app that does your roster, your pay, AND your layover.
- Duty timeline + EASA FDP from the same duties
- Pay estimates; payslip checker on Layvr Pro
- Verified who’s on my layover
- Free calendar export
