In most cases that will increase your fuel burn. (Which you don’t want.)
Wait. Does IF remote works even if my flight is on AP+?
No. Third party apps will not work when the flight is in AP+ mode. This is just a limitation of the API.

Thank you for the advice so far, I’ll make sure to look into it more.
As they said. Put simply, just think of it of how much you’d be pushing a big heavy aircraft with take off load to go straight up to 38000ft at 0.82mach. It’d be screaming & struggling hard.
Best example is the A330 family. You try & push those too high too quick & you’ll get a stall warning 
Mostly you won’t really need to do it. For super long flights or aircraft that struggle, just wait a few hours into the cruise before you go up(if you’re active)

i don’t do long-hauls just yet, but I’m definitely taking your advice. Thanks man!

Hey man, I see others have answered your question, in simple terms. I will try and elaborate a little bit:
The higher you fly, the less fuel you burn. In simple terms, this is because the higher you fly, the less air there is, meaning there is less drag (air resistance). Therefore, the engines don’t have to work as hard, so they do not burn through as much fuel. This obviously saves the airline a lot of money, increases the aircraft range, and is slightly better for the environment.
If you are flying a long haul route, you will need to carry A LOT of fuel, so you will be very heavy on departure. Because the aircraft is so heavy, it will struggle to climb at high altitudes. So, you would generally climb to an initial altitude (usually somewhere between 30,000ft and 35,000ft), and stay there for a while, until you’ve burned off some gas and become capable of climbing another 2 - 4000ft. You would continue to climb incrementally throughout the flight until you reach your final cruise level.
With AP+ now available, you can resume your long haul flight every 2-3 hours and step climb. I usually do 2000ft at a time.
If you have any more questions, let me know

@BennyBoy_Alpha is correct.
Currently we can’t support AP+ as there’s no way we can connect to the flight you have in AP+ through the API, as that only lets us access the flight you have running on your device.
However, we are exploring ways we can integrate AP+ into IF Remote, which you’d hear about when that happens.

I have no issues with being explained more than once, it just solidifies it. Thank you a lot, you helped me understand this even more 
@Saf Looking forward to that
