iLog Aviation Logbook +17

Been using this app since the beginning and really happy it’s still being supported by people who want it to stay mostly the same. While I miss being able to import my schedule, that was never a “core feature” and I’ve been prepared for it to be removed or monetized for some time.

For those who don’t need to import data, the app is completely usable without paying the minimal subscription. It can simply replace a paper log and allows for exporting for import to robust computer based logbooks. With a little effort, schedules can be manually entered in advance so the app can function both as a log and schedule reference which allows it to do rest calculations.

On that last note, the app still needs a slight fix with rest calculations when schedule changes are entered (reassigned to push the edge of FDP) since that’s exactly when I need help.

All in all, very happy with this app!

FlyingEar,

Thanks for the great feedback. If you haven’t already, do you mind sending the FDP issue in an in-App feedback so we can put it in our TODO list? Thanks again!

I’ve got flights in here back to 2008. It’s wonderful, particularly for looking at past trips. They layout is the best out there. Yes, it needs work. I understand that’s coming.

Lots of whining about the subscription fees. Deal with it. You’re pilots, you can afford it. The app languished for years after the original developer retired, before the new folks bought it. They’re working hard to make it an updated, modern app - and I don’t expect them to work for free. *I* don’t work for free. You shouldn’t either.

So I’m happy to pay a couple of bucks a month to see what comes of this app that has been on my phone longer than any other - and that I paid $20 for some 15 years ago. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes. The other affordable app is really useful, but really ugly. They badly need some competition. Let’s give it to them.

Thanks Fellow Flyer! We appreciate your support and hope we can continue making improvements that make this app work well for you.

Been using this app for years now and just encountered my first glitch. The airport database needs to updated as BER/EDDB is not on the list. The app can not properly update any trips that are flown into and out of BER/EDDB. I have to choose TXL/EDDT for these trips but make a note that the actual airport was BER/EDDB. Additionally, while attempting to submit feedback through the app, I was unable to select the “submit/send” button. Separately, while attempting to submit feedback through the App Store website link, I received an “phishing” warning for the link. I hope this review finds its way to the developers.

The developer reached out and I revisited the airport database to search for BER. Brandenburg appeared but as SXF. Subsequently the database self corrected and EDDB became BER.

I thank the developer for reaching out and providing additional means of contact for app support.

Hello, message received. Can you email us at help@ottopilotsoftware.com so we can get more details? I have some troubleshooting options for you but need to discuss with you. Also we have a website and a phone number for support. Ottopilotsoftware.com and 719-256-0005

Btw, the database does reflect EDDB so you need to ensure your phone or iPad updates the local database you’re using. This will solve the issues you’re having with data import because that was updated in the database months ago when other users reported it missing.

The user feedback submit button not showing up is being worked on and hopefully we have a solution to that soon.

Either way. Please reach out to us so we can help you get this fixed.
