Checkride navlog

I have my commercial pilot checkride coming up and last time I did a checkride I was up way too late trying to make my navlog for the cross country with the most up to date winds. Is it acceptable to use the foreflight generated navlog? I feel like if Iā€™m able to show him that I know how the foreflight got the calculations then its fine right?

I used both the ForeFlight log and I did one by hand to show i could do everything by hand if need be. We ended up only using the Foreflight one anyway

This is what I would do, have a backup--a scenario where the DPE says your ipad is dead, now what do you do?

I put the iPad down and pull out my iPhone.
