You may want to contact the people at mccPilotlog, they are helpful and will be happy to assist you, I guess.

Been using Skylog Pro for over 10 years, I am very happy with it. One off purchase of £59.90. No other charges after. Every few weeks I back up my logbook and email it to myself. Simple, quick and efficient. very good customer service.

Hey Lucky Lee,
I am in the same case, I've been using Flylogio for a while and really disappointed about their new price...108 euros per year ?! This is really not worth it, even though I really liked it so far. What a shame. A fixed subscription could be interesting but not such a monthly price..
I am also looking at mccPilotlog, but I am a bit struggling with the import process. If you figure out an easy way of doing it.. (I have many errors so far when I import my data from Flylogio..)

About the transfer of hours, you need to export your hours from Flylogio, and then use converter from mccPilotlog homepage to get it converted to their format. I would post you the link, but I haven't made enough posts yet on this forum
They say it takes about 8 days, but they have automated the process so it only took about 8 min. The transfer is then just a matter of following their guide in the program.
It wont transfer stuff like type of approach and simulators, and you will probably have to fix the aircraft's as well.
Right now I am running the free version of mccPilotlog, and I have to admit that I like Flylogios setup more. A lot of the stuff I am missing, will probably be fixed once I buy their full setup, but I still find the Flylogio setup more smooth and easy to use.

If even one person who actually works with or on the software had taken a look at the error logs I sent the problem would have been solved in a single email. Instead I have to deal with incompetent support.
The issue turned out to be localization, the software didn't seem to recognize a Windows language setting that was different from EN-US, even though the system language itself was full English etc. Super easy fix for them to implement in the software, but due to their kind of hopeless support it probably won't be fixed anytime soon. Because even explaining the issue to them after I solved it, they still didn't understand. There was also supposed to be a new version (5.0) out at the end of 2017 but not a word about it in all of 2018. It feels to me like the actual developers are not in the house anymore and it's only given very basic updates.
So, while the software works, and works well for now, I'm not all that hopeful about continued support myself. Just something to think about for people still looking for the best solution.

That's what ticked me off too. If it had been 5€ a month then I could live with it, but 9€ is just to much. I actually wrote this to them, and got a reply that they would take it in to consideration, but they also argued that LogTen Pro still was more expensive, since their full packed place them at 113 € a year.

Indeed, I lost the type of approaches but I can live with it..
So far I'm pretty happy about Mcc, it looks more professional and there are a lot of interesting options if you buy the PRO version. Only drawback so far is the design which looks extremely old and the fact that it takes some time to understand how everything works.

Thanks Lucky_lee ! I have done it a few days ago, and although it took me some annoying hours to get the right figures, the transfer is now done.

Back in 2004 Netjets didn’t approve it. So I spend two days writing in my flights in a paper logbook. When I asked the why they wanted paper they said because it was less likely to be fraudulent. I thought that without problems I could have been writing in 300 hrs space shuttle with 3 lunar landings and they wouldn’t have known the difference, but obviously didn’t point this out on my interview. My “original” paper copy logbooks where approved. But I stop writing again after that. It’s the new millennium, if it’s good enough for the CAA, it’s good enough for me.
BTW, using MCCflightlog because of its capability to cynchronise with the company so like a true lazy pilot I don’t have to do it myself. Now only waiting for the new app so I don’t have to syncs via my laptop anymore.

Flightlog
Airline FlightLog is a new app (both iOS and Android), with tons of tools for pilots. Easy to use, if you can import your roster directly, and the app can fill the flight times automatically for you... (and it's 100% FREE !)

Since when is that? Their homepage still says
Maybe this information is outdated, but so far I have not had any e-mail from them telling me about a change of plan.
And yes, the price is affordable. We do not run a subscription plan. We have 3 editions with one-time fee for life-time use. The basic STD Edition is even FREE.
