Web Manuals has introduced enhanced personalisation options in its latest Reader App upgrade.
The update comes with connectivity recognition, a built-in connectivity choice, allowing the user to define when the app is perceived as 'online'. Users can choose whether to run downloads on wi-fi and cellular data or only when wi-fi is connected.
Additional functionality improvements will allow users to personalise their app experience with screen customisation and thumb navigation, enabling faster transition between documents that are unique to the user. Updated tab functions will enable smoother transition between current working documents, as well as the ability to move back and forth between manual amendments.
Advanced dark mode places a dark filter on images to avoid reverting colours on the device. In combination with the brightness slider, pilots are now able to use their device during overnight flights without losing night vision, amplifying the app's readability and flight safety.
Director of operations EMEA Julia Larsson says: “The latest updates to our Reader App will make it even easier to download, read and stay updated on crucial documents that are specific to each customer's operations.
“This app revision has been long anticipated and is a direct result of feedback from our community. For example, we've incorporated larger navigation bars to make manuals accessible for pilots experiencing turbulence in the cockpit.”
The app is available to download on iOS, and an Android version is currently in development.
