Web Based Logbooks
At the risk of being ridiculed for not finding it in searches, I can't find any post that really teases out the pros and cons of different web based logbook tools - preferably one that goes to an iPhone app as well. (And will work with Google Android app in future.)
What is the most popular / functional, etc. in your opinion(s)?

many times web-based 'computer' logs will simply not be accepted by some regulatory authorities.
As for the original question, I think this works as a web-based logbook, but I am not totally sure since I don't use it. I use a simple computer based logbook and do regular backups to a remote server.

Just for what it is worth, above my head at this very moment, on a shelf are my three, bog standard, hand written log books.
They cover thirty six years of flying and are a kind of almanac or diary, with every hour and type flown as well as every unusual event recorded too and once you retire the log books, a few pictures, lots of memories and no money are about all you have to show for it!
I have frequently referred to mine to clarify a question or two, and browsing them can evoke some great memories.
I appreciate that the computerised log book is 'state of the art' especially if you can run it from a hand held device etc. but think hard before you abandon the hand written one, in thirty or forty years time a computer print out won't mean much.
(And some employers are not too happy if they are presented at interview stage, either).
