LogTen Pro (sorry, another electronic logbook thread)

That website is awesome, but not quite there yet. The import feature, something I really needed, was lacking. I think if you give that website a year to work out some bugs, it will be very competitive.

Yeah, try back every few weeks or so, bugs get fixed and new stuff gets added about once a week.

No thanks...I already had my job go to India, don't want my logbook data going there too.

LOL the site isn't actually from in India. It's a vanity TLD, kind of like http://del.icio.us or goatse (not linking that one). Get it, "flight logging"? Anyways, if you're concerned about losing your data, there is an option to have a backup file e-mailed to you every week so you never have to worry about the site disappearing or anything. Also, just curious, did you really lose a flight job to India?

Oh ok, I saw the .in extension and those are web addresses in India.

And the job I'm referring to is an IT software development job...I just have personal issues with outsourcing American jobs, so I'd rather buy American...just a personal choice as you can probably tell by my bitterness and having been burned by the outsourcing craze.

EDIT: BTW, I use Safelog by Dauntless for my electronic logbook, made with pride in the USA in Philly :D

Just curious but do you buy American cars too?

As to the original topic of this thread, I am having serious headaches inputting all my data into LogTen, but I will say its an excellent program and the integration with the iPhone is seamless. Looking forward to perhaps a week from now, when all I have to worry about it putting that day's flights into the iPhone ;)

I've seen it an I am not sold on it. Logbook Pro has been around for years and is a solid platform. It also as numerous import possiblities that even LogTen doesn't have. Also with Logbook Pro the data is yours and can be exported into an open format so the data remains yours and is readable in the even you don't like the program, the company goes under, etc. You still have your data and don't lose it like other programs that lock their data. Logbook Pro also allows you to import your schedule into your PDA (if using APDL), or import your past schedules with the actual times directly into Logbook Pro. For those of you that have access to your historical Sabre, FLiCA, etc data you can import it directly into Logbook Pro and save a lot of your valuable time. Couple it with RouteBrowser you can integrate your data into Google maps, too.

I think LogTen will prove to be a pretty solid platform. I also like the fact that it uses SQL to keep the database, so in the event you don't like the program, the company goes tits up, etc. the data is in a standard format.

For me what sold it was the fact that it runs on OS X, and the fact that it works on the iPhone.
 
Bringing this one alive again...

Anyone know if LogTen Mobile can be somehow exported to a .csv format into Excel? I can't justify switching to a Mac right now, but really want to use the mobile version for the iPhone.

I could also just use the mobile version for now since it backs up into iTunes until I get a Mac one of these days I guess.

Any thoughts from current users?
 
How would you guys say it compares to Flight Level logbook? I ask because it's the one I bought about a year ago and it took a couple of weeks to input everything. From the screenshots I've seen, it looks like the format of Logbook Pro is better. If I did convert over, I'm also wondering if it would be a nightmare to import the data or if it'd do it correctly.
 
Got my question answered direct from Coradine very quickly! (great customer service!) It turns out the new version (2.2) has CSV export barring any issues from the Apple store it should be out this week.

Looks like I will be purchasing LogTen Mobile! :)
 
I just purchase LogTen mobile for my iphone and am wondering why there are no columns to seperate single engine and multi engine time???? How best should I log these two types of time?

Do you have the version for Mac? From what I can tell, all the configuration preferences are set there and propagated to the iPhone.

Now that I'm looking at it, on my "Totals" page on my iPhone it only has Airplane, Multi, Turbine, and Reciprocating, which is weird because there is time there and I haven't entered any recip flights on my iPhone. You'd have to be able to configure that on your laptop.
 
I don't have a mac just an iPhone. I was hoping to transfer everything to my pc with a csv file. Where do I put multi time is what I can't figure out?

As far as I can tell, the configuration has to be done on the Mac. I imported all of my time from Logshare, in addition to my 121 time. Once I had defined all of the aircraft (number and type of engines), it automatically separated everything into multi, turbine, single, recip, etc.
