iLog Aviation Logbook 17+

App Beats Paper

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!

The OG logbook app

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.

Can't Be Without It!

Althought the interface could be more intuitive, iLog is a great utility app for me @ UAL. Once configured, one button push results in my schedule being downloaded in full. At the end of a leg, trip - or even month I can quickly download my flight data and add/delete data as necessary. Data is easily exported to a .csv file, for instance - which I then import into Logbook Pro for permanent recordkeeping. The ability to download schedules does require a subscription but the cost is minimal, in my opinion, when measured against the time saved and when looking at other apps that do the same thing.

There are far too many features to detail here; it is a comprehensive program that takes time to explore.

A new developer has taken over so hopefully we will see some updates.
