Ah, I think my problem is that I got the iPad version after September, so even though it was LTP5 it was technically LTP6.0 and when the real LTP6 came out (LTP6.01) it updated the one I had. They did it that way so that people purchasing it for the first time close to the upgrade date got a free upgrade to v6.

Logten Pro backup
 

Logten Pro for iPad is currently at half price on te app store (£27.99) so I am tempted to buy except for the backup problem.
I have an iPad but not a Mac so my only backup would be in iTunes I guess but I don't use iTunes ( dreadfully bad software ) I only use cloud backup. Does that mean for now there would be no backup of my logbook if I lost or broke my iPad?
How imminent is iCloud compatibility I wonder? Is it worth buying at the discounted price and hoping for it to arrive soon?

Too pricey
 

No way I am paying full price for an upgrade. Not even at 50% discount. I had paid for the full application once, and I am actually very happy with the features I currently have. Spending $149 + Iphone + Ipad just to see "what's new" it's senseless...
The whole upgrade to Lion OS was $40... and these guys want $149? I am not a new customer!!! I am not buying the app from scratch!
The price I paid originally was premium + already, and this behavior from coradyne is an insult! As someone said it before: greedy and arrogant.
I will not buy this upgrade for that kind of money even if I have to get back to carry the paper logbook in my briefcase.

Have stopped recommending it to fellow pilots
 

i agree with the last post. the upgrade price is just pure greed. I don't mind paying a small amount for an upgrade, they claim this is a major change, it doesn't look major from the screenshots. This is just a ridiculous price for an upgrade. Why would anyone in there right mind want to pay £128 for an UPGRADE, For *@&k sake you greedy B*@sT£$. Get a grip Noah.!!

WAY too much for an upgrade...
 

Couldn't have said it better. I totally agree. So does every pilot I fly with. Upgrade costs must be nominal...or most people won't bother.

Guys in my company who have been considering buying LogTen Pro are now mostly saying to me that they will hold off buying until they can be more certain that ongoing costs won't continue to skyrocket.

I received a marketing survey from the company yesterday. I took the few minutes to complete it and express my displeasure with their upgrade gouge pricing. Here's hoping they see reason and don't kill this great product with a greedy grab for additional cash...

I am more than willing to pay a premium price for a premium product. But not every other year. Didn't buy the "upgrade" and don't plan to do it anytime soon. The previous version still runs fine and i don't see any reason to upgrade for a full price right now.

whatever price niche LTP wanna position themselves it's their decision, the sales numbers will either prove them wrong or right. However I expect them to be a little innovative next time and come out with a online solution like mycontrol or alike. Online is the future. :ok:

Updated Pricing...still too high
 

Here's the latest:

I still believe $50 is WAY TOO MUCH for a minor program update for my MacBook. I won't be upgrading.

Has anyone upgraded lately? How was the experience? Was it worth it? From what I could read in LTP's site, the upgrade to version 6 is not only expensive but quite troublesome. I currently run version 3.2. I don't think I will upgrade for the time being.

I had no problem upgrading to v6. However i think the obly additional feature (i noticed) was the duty time graphis, which are difficult to handle (no split-duty rules).

I think the pricing is okay, as it is an awesome product and with the universal app (iPad and iPhone) they made a step towards the rigt direction.
But in my opinion, the upgrade from v5 to v6 shouldn't have been so expensive.
On the other hand, it is not possible to do a payable upgrade with apple products yet. So it is difficult for them to find the right balance between cheap upgrades for existing customers and the right pricing for new obes.

Cheers Mac

Thanks for the info. The only reason to upgrade would be to be able to sync the data among the devices. Beyond that, as you point out, there's not much new.

The developers get too greedy and end up trying to milk the costumers. This is what makes people resort to piracy online.

I think I'm gonna go do a search on some torrents site... brb

Can you sync an iPhone and iPad without a Mac?
 

Hi all,

I have both versions (6.0.8) on iPad and on iPhone but I cannot sync the two. I do not own a Mac and I am wondering whether you actually need one to sync?

Thanks.

Sync
 

Synching is -between- iOS devices and the Mac Application, so yes, you need a Mac in order to sync.

My iPad and iPhone synch together without recourse to a Mac.

I couldn't see a reply to this early question, the answer is 'absolutely'.
The system is AirPrint.

If like me you don't have an AirPrint enabled printer, you can still print wirelessly from your device by using 'AirPrint Activator" which can be used on a Mac/PC with any printer. How to Air Print to ANY printer from your iPod, iPad or iPhone

In a nutshell, it works and I'm most chuffed with it :ok:

Does anyone know why they got rid of the "public" Q&A part of the website.
Was very handy to learn new stuff now I need to email them all the questions I could have looked up :*

HI thinkiing of getting it for my iPad.

Are you able to back up the data (in the iPad)? Sorry new to iPad and ....I'm still using paper logbook :O. Just got an iPad :O

If you have an iPhone as well, get the logten universal app. It works on both (pay once) and they will serve as a back-up to each other. If you only have an iPad then I think you can still manually back-up if you sync with iTunes, but the easiest option is using apple's iCloud (free up to 5gb). Switch it on -in iCloud settings- and it should auto back-up daily (when connected to wifi).

I use MCC Pilotlog. I am really happy with it, but I have an issue with the program importing my roster to google calendar. Help desk has tried to import my aims file and they say it works, but I can not do it on my android phone neither on my android tablet.
Is this happening to me only, or any other user has the same problem?

Are you trying to import via the Android apps? If so, that is where your problem lies. The calendar import function will only work on your PC, you will not be able to import via the Android apps.

May be I am confused about that. I import the AIMS file on my PC, but it imports all data to MCCPilotlog program, but not to any calendar program on my PC. On "PC sync options" it says "transfer all planned flights to mobile default Calendar app". I sync everything, but nothing appears on my mobile google calendar.
Can you get your flights on your calendar? I can´t.

Sync planned flights to mobile Calendar app

- iPhone/iPad only - expected on Android winter 2011-2012

- transfers planned future (green) flights and simulator sessions to the mobile calendar app

- to be used in combination with an airline interface

- does not transfer other duties (office, reserve, medical, etc) or weekends (expected 2013)

- when ticked, this sync will only occur for new flight logs - to resync all planned flights that have been synched to the mobile before, use the multiselect function from the Flight page


This should go into the Iphone/Pad calendar app when you re-sync after syncing your completed flights into the MCC. From the calendar app in the Iphone you have to have some kind of syncing between the calendar app and your google calendar. Check those settings in the Iphone.

Thanks for your response, but I don´t use Iphone/Ipad (sorry,:rolleyes:)
I use android both on my phone and my tablet. And I can´t sync future flights (green ones). It seems to be very useful, but I can not use it.
There is nothing I can do on my phone (no further configurations on the calendar), as it should be imported from the MCCPilotlog APP on my phone to my mobile google calendar (it´s the only calendar app on my phone).
When I sync on my PC, it says the number of calendar entries exported. This file is sent to MCCCloud. But when I sync on my phone, it imports everything for the MCCPilotlog app., but it shows "0" calendar entries.

Any other ideas are very welcome!
Thanks!

Pdf archives from LogTen Pro logbook
 

Hello.
Like many of us I'm using LogTen Pro logbook. I found that there was no way for iPad owners to use this application completely stand alone, no way to produce a good pdf file from the .html logbook file.

I tried many online "web to pdf" services (but they don't work fine and there is an obvious problem of privacy) and some iPad application but the result wasn't fine, the documents were outside margines

So I addressed my question directly to the customers service of Coradine (developer of LogTen Pro) and to the developer of an iPad browers called START, that has "web to pdf" functions.

The feedback was great, START developer worked very quickly on it and now iPad LogTen Pro users have the possibility to archive their activity on pdf (landscape orientation) file from the .html file.

I hope that this information can be helpful for somebody

Now here is an issue with how they did the V6 upgrade!!!
 

Hi all,

Like a lot of you, I baulked at the upgrade price that they wanted when they released version 6 of their new software and that is seemed like they had no respect for their existing dedicated clients who I'm sure like myself, touted the virtues of the LogTen Pro software to all my pilot friends (even some non-pilots lol). I too also completed their survey that they sent out and was happy to hear that they were actually listening to their customers I thought. However I was very disappointed to hear that their solution was to tell me when I could buy the upgrade at a discount (that honestly I thought was not enough of one). At the time I was taking a break in my professional flying career due to a severe illness with a family member and at the time, I certainly didn't see the reason to spend the money that they were asking even during their discount periods. However now I am back flying again and have picked up an iPad for myself to use as an EFB along with the ForeFlight software and Garmin GDL 39 ADS-B receiver, I want my Logbook on my iPad and have sadly realized that my version 5 iPhone app is not universal obviously and I can only get version 6 for the iPad now that will also require me to upgrade my Mac software and both of these at full price!!! All this simply because I wanted to wait to do the upgrade and not buy during their "special" period. I'm really frustrated with this, I have been a dedicated user for year across two major releases. I really don't feel like spending more money on this then I did for the majority of my EFB solution on the iPad when I already own a copy! Obviously none of you really can help, but after my frustrations while searching the Internet for a solution tonight, I felt like venting a little.

A fellow frustrated Coradine customer,

I understand your frustration about the way Coradine did this. Apart from the initial discount phase they have discounts several times a year. Subscribe to their newsletter to find out when they have another discount period.

I actually used my old iphone app on the ipad until they had a discount on V6. It worked quite well, yes, it uses only part of the screen or is really huge if run in the 2x setting, but it works nonetheless.

Totals carried forward from paper to log ten?
 

Just joined the 21st century and bought Logten Pro for IPad and IPhone. Just coming up to 1500 hrs in my paper logbook and was wondering if I have to enter each flight individually into Logten or is there a way to enter previous totals and start from there?

Many Thanks

Custom Reports
 

Hi. Does anyone have a custom report that’s suitable for Australian Flight & Duty time limits for Logten Pro

I have just started working for someone who needs a printout at the end of each month and CAO48 does my head in. I have all my data in logten pro, just need it to print out a suitable report

cheers

Doesn't Sync
 

Hi,

I bought first LogTen Pro for iPad and it was great, that I wanted to buy LogTen Pro for the iPhone. Now I'm unable to sync them, my iPad is keep saying that the iPhone is offline, I'm already regretted!
Does anyone have this problem?

iPad and iPhone LogTen Pro 6.0.13

I had that happen sometimes two. However in my home network it works fine. Both devices need to be in the same wlan and on both you have to have logten open to sync them. You might need to check your network configuration and probably check the customer service at coradine, they are very good.

Any ideas when Version 7 could be released ?

Any ideas when v7.0 could be released.

Don't want to get v6 if it is to be updated soon.

Cheers.

I
 

The prospect of having to pay for future logten updates doesn't sit well with me. A logbook is something that a pilot takes with them their entire career, and the costs of inevitable updates will no doubt add up.

FWIW mccPilotLog has a one off cost, syncs across mobile devices (apple, android, windows mobile) without having to pay extra for the mobile versions, and has more or less the same features. Logten pro has better visual appeal, but other than that it just seems horribly overpriced for what it is.
