What is best Pilot Logbook Software?

[MacGyvers_No1_Fan]

Hi everyone

Firstly I realise this is probably not the correct catagory to ask this question, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable one. So I will let the administrators decide where to put it, but at least many people will see this question here and I would really like to get as much feedback as possible .

I've been looking around for reviews on logbook software, but there doesn't seem to be much. Only information provided by the companies themselves, I would really like to hear what software people are using as proffessional pilots. Please say what platforms you are using it on, what are the pro's and cons and what do you think the cost is (if its a subscription break it down to a yearly cost, and what you get for that), if you don't mind the airline that you work for and any other information you think seems relevant.

I am looking to get new software as my current software isn't meeting my requirements. I am using a Netbook with XP and an Android phone, I will mainly use the phone for entries and want to sync it with my netbook (wirelessly). I also would like to print the logbook in JAR-FCL format, with the option of turning it into a PDF file. I must be able to import my old information, which is in a CSV file and export. Also functions I would ideally need such as being able to import roster information to save time inputting details, auto night calculations, colleague database, etc....

Hopefully this will help a lot of people in deciding what is the best software to use, and also bring up any other interesting discussions like iPhone vs Android.

Thanks very much

I use log ten pro. I use an iPhone and an iMac. I enter each flight on the iPhone and synch it to the mac when I get home. Works a treat. Very configurable.

+1 for Logten Pro. Have it both on my iPhone and Mac as well, the best software i have tried so far, and no, i dont get any reductions from them

Safelog?

Hello,

Does anyone have anything good to say about safelog?

[MacGyvers_No1_Fan]

I considered safelog when I was looking at the options, but it seemed to be quite expensive for what it was offering.

After the advice I received from asking on here and friends at work, I went for MCC Pilot Log.

As already said its a great piece of software, only a one off payment (69 Euro) unlike safelog (think every 3 years you license fee, but I can't remember 100%), I can also import everything from my airlines online roster. So all I do is press a button and import all my flying hours.

Hope someone can give you some practical advise about Safelog, but I definately recommend MCC.

Hope this helps

MCCPilotlog is superb. I use it on the PC and on my iPhone.
