I'm currently instructing and would like to have my paper logbook as well as a print out of an electronic one in a leather binder.
If you plan on being a professional pilot get a professional logbook program. Don't risk potential career opportunities to save $20 a year.

Doesn't matter what you use, as long as you keep it up to date. More pilots have been hired to majors with paper than electronic, I'd wager.

And with the way folks spell and their usage of grammar, I'd also bet that would be more of a interview detractor than any form of logbook used today.

Search my post history. Fairly sure I started a thread on this or at least replied to one a few months back as I was also looking to switch. Fast forward to now...LogTen pro...got it. Love it. Very user friendly and intuitive. Phenomenal support staff. Cons: yearly fee(unless you have a MacBook)

SafeLog.... I find it better then all the above options. Syncs across all platforms and the cloud with free apps. I think it's the best option personally

Would you mind elaborating? I'm looking to drop LogTenPro. I've been evaluating SafeLog and mccPilotLog.

After reading all this, I picked up mccpilotlog. I kept a foreflight logbook and the only downside is that they didn't convert foreflight so i had to add all my flights manually (i would've just done experience, but im sure the regionals would like to see it all)

Of course I'll have my paper logs for the endorsements and signatures from my checkrides/etc, but I feel that a printed log will be a bit more professional. mccpilotlog is good so far, I probably won't buy the package until I hit the regionals though

I think comparing the two that you are trying out, safelog is a little more user friendly. It makes more sense on what to click and where to go. It's a simple display compared to mcc. I can import my schedules at the end of a trip by downloading and copy/pasting into it and it takes care of the rest. Everything is cloud based so it syncs across desktop/iPhone/iPad. Also the filter is spectacular and have reports for Airline Apps and Pilot Credentials.
What I don't like is that some features are cloud based as well, such as currency. If I want to check it I have to be online to do it. Overall I think that benefits outweighs the negatives.

Can you not export foreflight into a csv file? Mcc would have imported the csv file.

They do export CSV but mcc didn't recognize it. I submitted a ticket with them and sent the csv and they're gonna try and make it compatible for future users
