That’s the thing. It does not set itself apart from the other software on the market. I think most pilots aren't technologically capable or do not have the patience to design one on their own. They rather spend the money for convenience rather than put the work into designing one on there own.

When I conducted a research a few months ago, the only things that most pilots liked about these expensive programs were:

1. Printing Jeppessen-Style logbook pages (100%)
2. Filtering capabilities for filling out applications
3. Ability to Customize the Logbook page

There were other things, but weren’t consider high on the priority list. Majority of the people thought some of the other features was cool, but wasn’t something they would use frequently; if at all.
