I heard the exact opposite from a couple LCAs in the jumpseat. That the HTML product will function as a backup for the foreseeable future.

My favorite is checking how close to arrival time we’ll be after take off. Open nav log, insert take off time, scroll to bottom of nav log, see landing time, then go to fuel page to see taxi in time, add that to landing time, then go back to home page to see what arrival time is supposed to be.
Or I could just use the HTML flight plan, type in wheels up time, then instantly have how many minutes early or late we are with no other steps.

It seems they want the feedback for what to fix. Don't leave it to others to weigh in. You really don't have a right to complain if you ignore the 'open channel' to improve it.
*Disclaimer, it feels like we were given a "Beta" program. While I appreciate all the 'fixes' the initial testers made, and that NavBlue is receptive to making changes, this never should have been released to the masses without addressing what so many have instantly identified as easy fixes. Simple things like Notams sorted by runway, which John Bell created years ago...

Agreed. Having said that, I've been forcing myself to use it, and I'm getting a lot better with it.

You know when you get to the airport Pete's 5 minutes before close and they tell you the coffee is still hot but you know there is no way it's still hot but you get it anyways because it's a 5 hour flight and you need the caffeine? And then when you get to the airplane and have your first sip, it's basically cold but you choke it down anyways because airplane coffee is still more gross? Yeah. It's like that.

Same. I used it for a trip, got somewhat better with it but got tired of wasting my time looking for the airport landing elevation and went back to the HTML version.

Just one of many things I despise about the app. I stopped using it. Too much work.
