I’ve used this application in its many versions for quite some time but I have to say it just keeps getting more confusing, buggy, and expensive. I had it since version 5 was around and I think 6. Those were great, easy to use and very straight forward, much like the simple interface of Logbook Pro. In addition it runs as a normal Mac program rather than runnning Fusion or something else to trick it into being windows.
As it got popular, they came out with newer versions that led into this one (X) that you had to pay more and more for in order to sync and backup, all while making the program more and more aggrivating to use. For example, the older versions had a window in the bottom that you could literally input anything that pertained with that particular flight, not only the things like time and landings that you can normally just type right into the log but also values that you don’t always use, like simulator time or a hold. Now in order to enter this I have to totally reconfigure the logbook to display columns for for these values, enter them in, and then reconfigure it back to the way it was. It takes twice as much time to input something that you don’t always log as it did before. Now the annual subscription is ending, they want $40 more a year unless I buy it in 3 year blocks. I will not be renewing or upgrading unless they turn this program around to the way it used to be.
