Faster, smoother, and steadier. • Performance: we rebuilt the app on a newer foundation — quicker startup and more responsive navigation throughout. • Read-aloud: audio is faster and more reliable, even when you've queued up a lot to listen to. • Stability & polish across the app.

Ask Master Chief, hands-free Tap the mic in the Ask bar and talk — your question is transcribed into the field so you can edit it before you send. No typing required; it falls back to the keyboard where dictation isn't available. Timelier alerts Breaking NAVADMINs that matter to the Mess and time-sensitive world events now notify you the moment they land — not the next time you open the app — while routine traffic stays quiet. Your daily brief, on your schedule The brief now arrives at 0700 your local time, wherever you're stationed — stateside or deployed. Polish & fixes Smoother keyboard handling in Ask, quick note-taking from reference pages, and a quieter, more reliable background.

Sailor Check Up is now a one-tap checklist. Tap the boxes that apply, link a Sailor, and it drops into your Brain as an editable note — pick, link, done. Nothing leaves your phone. Duty, right on your home screen. Set your division's sections once; tap who's on today and your home screen shows the on-duty watch with one-tap Call/Text. The rotation advances by day on its own. Ask Master Chief tells you the truth about its sources. When the library's thin on a question, it says so plainly — here's my read, but verify it — instead of guessing. And after a well-sourced answer, it suggests a couple of grounded follow-up questions you can tap.

Ask Master Chief got a major upgrade — it searches the library far more reliably, answers in clean formatted text with tappable sources, and only suggests questions it can actually answer. "On This Day" now shows the correct observance on the right date — no more holidays appearing early. Plus a smoother library (sections open to the top every time) and fewer false "No connection" alerts.
