Flight status on a separate page shows still landing on time in EWR, (even with the 2 hr delayed departure, and the fuel stop in MUC). I know it's outside the norm, but UA should hopefully be able to manage app to avoid one page saying on time, one saying canceled and the third showing two segments. A lot of confusion with my co-workers as a group.
Don't mind the stop, in general. The lack of food may become a problem. Two meals with a total flight time, plus fuel stop of almost 20 hrs is very thin. Hope United can fix that!
They will still cater for the usual 12-14 hour flight plus an additional snack for the on-ground time. With the reduced fuel, they should be able to add food.
