First Impressions

I started out with a paper logbook and when I became a professional 135 pilot I transferred all my time to Logbook Pro. I have been using Logbook Pro for the last 8 years. About two years ago I switched all my computers, phones, tablets to Apple. I didn’t want to partition my hard so I could run Windows on my computer so I kept an old Windows lab top around just to do my logbook. That got old fast but I didn’t want to spend the $100 to buy a new logbook program for my Mac. I finally broke down and paid the $100 for LogTen Pro X and I wish I would of done it earlier. I contacted Coradine about transferring my data from logbook pro to LogTen and they said it was no problem. I sent them the file and a few days later I got an email containing my new look book. Opened up LogTen and everything transferred correctly.

Playing around with the setup I was able to get my logbook to look the way I wanted. There is a ton more information you can enter in LogTen. The reports are much more detailed. I have to generate times for various reasons throughout the year with Logbook Pro I was always writing numbers down, adding them up to get the correct numbers for the forum but no longer with LogTen. I keep a paper Jeppesen style logbook around just as a backup to the backup and LogTen generates a very nice Jeppesen style logbook.

What I like the best about LogTen X Pro is I was able to download it on to my main house iMac and my MacBook Air for no extra charge. The data syncs so weather I enter logs at home or on my MacBook Air when I am on the road that data always syncs and is current.

I cannot speak for the iPhone/iPad version where you have to pay and annual fee. From reading the reviews that is where it seams most of the problems are.
