Does anyone recommend one or the other? Maybe someone out there has tried them both... I use the iPhone.
The features I like that I've heard about:
Auto sync when you turn your phone on. Pro
Keeping track of 121 duty times
One time fee. 10 I think
Auto day/night to/lnd
Printing entire log
Importing your schedule (it would have to accept a PDF version or something as my airline is based in the 1960s and we have no electronic scheduling available to use)
I don't have mac but that isn't that big a deal I could convert something I already have to Mac easy. Are the interfaces pretty much the same (pro/10)? One easier to use than the other?
Log Ten Pro is light years beyond Logbook Pro. With that said, there are always pluses and minuses to anything you buy. I use Log Ten Pro. Both on the iPhone and my Mac. It's more user friendly and has better features than Logbook Pro. Please keep in my mind that this is totally my opinion. I've used both. The only thing you need to make sure with logten pro is that you back up your phone on iTunes everyday. Not having a Mac to sync up your mobile to your comp could put yourself into trouble one day. If you lose your phone or it takes a dump on you then you've just lost all your times.
My advice is to go to coradine's website look at all the features and compare it to logbook pro. I do know that if you have questions or a problem with LogTen it's easy to email the creators and they'll get back to you ASAP, even call you or actually gmail talk to you and access your computer to fix the problem if you have a Mac. Good luck.
