Yeah, its another one of those threads. I've looked into two seriously, here are some of the pros and cons of each.
LogTen Pro
Pros: Most professional design
Cons: What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in the meeting where the conversation went thusly: "Hey guys, lets make a cloud database that can be accessible on iPhone, iPad, and Macbook, but completely leave out the PC segment?" Why should importing a logbook csv involve a phone call to customer service because I own a PC and will only be using the iPhone/iPad portions?
MyFlightLog
Pros: It's free, and I can use it on any platform
Cons: Extremely clunky. I just spent the last five hours trying to bash a csv into the format they'd accept, and when I finally managed it, it dropped out several of the columns that I want to keep track of, and I'd have to go back through and manually add data for about 1100 flights.
What I want to do:
Export my excel file into something online I can use, that will
- Show me that I am current and when my currencies will expire
- Easily allow me to upload an excel file without having to call some customer service number (that's really the only sticking point on logten pro right now but if it's the best choice I might be able to overlook it, which brings me to my next point...) or lose data
- Be compatible across all platforms, specifically have a web entry that links to an iPad/iPhone app
Thoughts?
