Recommended IOS app for flight Logbook

Uhhh, where do you get that out of his post? All he asked about was a replacement for Excel. Google sheets is perfect for that.

Google sheets is free, it is cross platform, it's easy to use, and infinitely customizable. Mine even spits out my currency for me.

Logten Pro is really nice, there are other nice electronic logbook software packages out there too, but why pay Coradine $80/year so that I can have a glorified spreadsheet? Further, how long is the product going to last? Google will likely be around another 3 decades for me to get to 65, is Coradine software going to make it that long? Or anybody else?

Google sheets is platform independent, fast, works on your phone, and did I mention... it's free? What more could you want?

I am a Software Engineer. I did my excel with macross and everything. I will still use an upgraded version, but I also want an IOS logbook that helps me align everything while I sit down and crunch the numbers.

Can myflightbook export to logtenpro? I've been using a spreadsheet but I still have to go in from my pay stub and type in the in and out times because LTP doesn't import them properly. Wastes a lot of time.

Importing is a function of matching fields. Unless an app wants to keep things proprietary (and you from leaving), they are going to use a universal csv data format for import and export. But that doesn't automatically mean Field A in App1 will be the same as Field A in App2. There's usually going to be some tweaking.

i had been using a DIY logbook for almost 15 years when I moved into MyFlightBook and I was pretty adept at this stuff. I still needed some help because of differences in the way the databases were structured.

How hard would it be to import an Excel sheet logbook (formatted like the Jepp pro paper logbook) to one of these electronic logbooks? And which logbook would you choose? PC user with iPad and iPhone.

There's extensive information on the MyFlightBook site about importing including a full field list. I had over 15 years of data when I made the move. "How hard" is more about you than the system, but MyFlightBook's developer has been known to help out.
