Web Manuals (Booth 1995) has upgraded its app with the same functionality of its web browser, adding a dark mode for better cockpit viewing at night, as well as zooming and background removal functionality for clearer reading of manuals.&nbsp;

 


Users can see which documents are on each aircraft, in addition to their&nbsp;revision and if they have been read by the intended recipients. Administrators can push time-sensitive amendments and operationally critical documents onto either all or select devices and see who has downloaded the most urgent files.&nbsp;

 


The app is currently in beta testing and the first version is expected to launch in the fourth quarter. Features such as&nbsp;the reviewer element, intuitive reading, rotate view buttons, easier page switch buttons, and navigation breadcrumbs will be added next year, the company said.
