Evoke Systems are delighted to announce they have launched dark mode for their EFOS iPad app. Initially rolling out across their Journey Log module, which is part of the EFOS Flight Management Suite, it is anticipated that dark mode will be available across all EFOS iPad modules by the end of the year. 

With research showing it offers many health benefits, including reduced eye strain, dark mode is fast becoming the norm in modern-day digital products. Working in collaboration with their customers, Evoke have designed a dark mode that is easily and instantly accessible for their clients, with careful consideration given to colour palettes, functionality, and the ability to roll this out to other iOS modules across their 3 product suites in the future.

“Dark mode is a feature that has been highly requested by our customers using the EFOS iPad app. Here at Evoke we are passionate about continuously improving the EFOS experience for our users and working collaboratively with them when developing new features.

The new dark mode eliminates bright fill colours to reduce eye strain, and live data validation rules within EFOS are supported by tinted text which brings attention to those important notifications and mandatory data fields. Using this approach, we have created a colour palette for the dark theme that could then be reverse engineered for the existing light theme, which our EFOS users know and love. Under the hood we use a semantic colour system that allows us to easily switch between dark and light themes at any point, aiding our ability to roll this new feature out to our other iOS modules across the product suites quickly and efficiently, providing a consistent user interface and experience across the app.”

EFOS for iPad app is comprised of many modules, all of which solve distinct customer problems. The Electronic Journey Log (EJL) allows crew to record their flight and duty information digitally using the iPad, fulfilling regulatory compliance for Commander reporting and allowing for valuable operational and business data to be captured. Custom data entry controls coupled with live validation throughout the data entry process allow gross errors to be configured, improving the accuracy and quality of data recorded.

Digital records eliminate illegible, error-prone, and expensive paper processes, with access to vital data providing powerful analysis opportunities into areas such as fuel burn, OTP and safety and event reporting. The EJL can be completed offline, with all information captured syncing to the EFOS server once connectivity is restored post-flight.
