Phone star apps vs paper star charts, the paper won me over last month

I finally did a side by side test in my backyard near Tucson. I had my phone app out for a week and then switched to a laminated paper chart for another week. The app kept killing my night vision every time I glanced at it, even with red mode on. Paper was way easier to read and I caught way more faint stuff like the Veil Nebula. Anyone else ditch their phone for good because of the glare? What charts do you all use?

Did the phone app drain your battery fast too, or was it just the brightness bugging you?
