They need to put the information in tabs so that you can hop around between screens. I've exceeded my lifetime scrolling limits in one week of use.

Vector app is awesome. Sure some improvements can be made but it’s a huge step forward. Job well done by development team.

Not!!

How can this be legal to use when my FO and I can get conflicting information for the same flight. Only after both of us logged out and logged back in at least three times each did the app show identical flight info. And this was after show time when the app is suppose to update the info every minute or less. Still a lot of bugs that need to be worked out.

Haven’t had that experience yet. I’ll keep double checking this week. Lots of legs. Sounds like you’ve had more bugs than I have. Interesting.

Couldn’t agree more. Having one line of text and 60% space on every page is obnoxious. Pls have a customizable way to size the text and the spacing...to cover those of us with cheaters and those who don’t yet need them. Already InSited.

Is it just me or does everyone else see only their own phone number in the crew section?

Thanks for reminding me of mine but the other crew member’s numbers would be more useful.

Thanks ok.. My FO last week didn’t have his phone number at all and couldn’t get the flight plan or anything.. This thing appears buggy.. Cool app but I don’t really see the purpose yet...

I’ve been playing with Vector for the last year as an LCA Beta Tester. My experience is it is still slow to update, especially in garden spots like India or China. It might be OK for the shorter flight segments, but for International/ETOPS legs, the paper FP/R will prevail. We use the paper “Master” release as a “pass down” log on the augmented crew segments. The iPad is a great tool, but at times it just isn’t”t the right one.

Not sure what it does better than what we have now, but I see quite a few things it does worse.

Yeah I've logged it out several times. I even rebooted the iPad.

No change. And I'm on fast wifi (1Gbps). I left it on to see if it would update, nothing. I just see the flight departure and destination, crew, meals, and delay codes. Nothing else to click on or move up, down, left, right.

Confused.
