The things that could be more ...

And are content to be less.

This logbook works pretty well and as a flight instructor, I use this app on my Mac and on my iPad pretty much every day. I know it very well and quite simply, the quirks, bugs, and missing features are maddening.

First, there should be a way for an instructor to enter details for a flight ONCE, then share that version with their student and sign that entry. Instead, I have to enter a flight TWICE: Once on my iPad, once on my student’s iPad. This feature has been "on request” for years and has yet to be implemented.

For students that have gone "all electronic" and need an endorsement for a practical test, I can enter a “certificate” for them and sign it, but it’s not really a certificate it is? It’s an ENDORSEMENT. Oh, and you can’t read the remarks text of the endorsement unless you remove the signature.

I dutifully record block-out and block-in times, but the automatic calculation of night time is sporadic at best.

Lastly, their web site says if you have a feature request, just ask and the answer is “yes.” Actually, it’s seldom “yes.” The response I consistently get is “The development team will review this, but no guarantees …”

All this wouldn’t be so frustrating if the app wasn’t sooooo close to being the ideal logbook app and if the pricing structure was not at such a premium. A premium price should result in a premium product.

Needs work ...
