That's a leased product I believe, you have to pay every X year(s) or you're locked out of your data, I heard you can't even export or access it if you don't pay up?

 

I used that for a while as well. It isn't a bad logbook, but to me it had it's downsides. First off, you can export your logbook and keep you own backups but you have to do it while you have an active account. The real turn off for me though was the iPhone app. It was easy to use and it did sync automatically, but it requires an active internet connection to enter ANY data. This means that you can't update your logbook at cruise, you have to wait till you're on the ground which is when I'm typically most busy. It also doesn't have any sort of import function for pairings so you have to build every flight manually which gets a bit tedious on the iPhone.

 

Sorry, but I'm new to the Android market. Any suggestions for the Samsung Galaxy S lll?

 

I use Logbook Pro for Android and absolutely satisfied.

 

Not to just come in late and all but I'm a Mac guy and iPhone user who's all over log ten.

If you already have logbook pro, and aren't against spending some money for the APDL (Airline Pilot's Daily Logbook/Red book replacement), I would recommend that over using the logbook pro android version. APDL takes a bit of setting up, but once you have it done it's an excellent program that keeps track of your pay, rigs, rest requirements, etc. There are only 2 versions available since what's his name at Logbook Pro seems to think that people only use either Palm or Windows mobile nowadays, but there is a way around that. You have to allow side loading apps, and you download something called StyleTap, which is basically a palm pilot emulator. Unfortunately, it costs more money, but it will allow you to use APDL again on either iOS or Android devices. Logbook Pro, paired with APDL, is one of the best logbook options in my opinion.

 

Cool. Thanks for the info.

 

+1 for logbook pro on android.

the biggest problem though, is that the mobile software doesn't track your time limits. You have to go home and sync your PC before it works. Pretty stupid, but otherwise, a very good app.

 

Right here on APC there is a free spreadsheet program that was created by a pilot. Although it might not be perfect, you can customize it to suit your needs. It takes some time and effort, but I was able to print out a nice logbook to present during my interview.
It hasn't been updated since 2007, but it still works just fine for me.
You can find it here ...
