Disappointed
Nmckean
This app and even the computer software is very unstable. Will shut down on its own periodically. App will take 3-4 minutes just to open and up to 5-10 minutes to sync on reliable internet source. Waste of money in my opinion, I will be getting a different program.
Great app

Used it for many years now. Fly all over the world, and have never had an issue imputing airports. The nice part, it can simple or complex- and you get to decide it. Will never go back to paper.. If you are an experienced pilot like me, or an up and coming pilot looking for a new approach to a logbook, you will not be disappointed... worth ever cent..
Don’t buy subscription renewal on the app.

The app only offered me 1, 3, 5, and 10 year renewal. There is a lifetime which is $350 if you go to the website. However, the real kicker here was in the app the 10 year was $299.99 but on the website it was only $249.99...scheming hard for that $50.00! Hope this is an over-site. The product is sound and amazing.
Awesome app

I am a student pilot and a railroad engineer. I use this logbook over the others I’ve tried because this one is all platforms. It does not matter what you use. iphone, android, home computer, public computer. Anything. The others limit you to some device. Logten for example is mac only. if i want to use a public computer to enter my flight i am unable. I keep track of both my flying an my railroad log. it is very customizable with text, time and number fields. Also you can print out your log book if you need a hard copy. plenty of options and a whole lot cheaper than the others.
Flexible enough for students through ATPs

I made the switch from paper to Safelog a few years ago as a flight instructor, and even now as an airline pilot I’m happy to say it has served me perfectly through both phases of my career so far. There’s a bit of a learning curve to get it set up just right to your taste, but once you configure the seemingly endless options, this logbook’s power is really evident. As an instructor I was able to keep track of student names, special events/lesson tasks, in addition to any flight condition/aircraft configuration I could think of. The software even has a database of aircraft operators to display flight school & company logos in each line entry if you choose (a really beautiful touch). When I interviewed at my airline, I went armed with an extremely neat binder containing the printed safelog report that I was able to customize and generate directly from the web app (both a totaled cover sheet and the logbook itself). No messy writing, no extraneous info, and it took all of 30 second to compute each total I needed. I still use safelog every day I work and it’s just as home in a jet airline cockpit as it was in a 4-seat bugsmasher. I personally just throw in my flight number, the UTC block times straight from our ACARS screen, the approach I flew, handling role (PM/PF), plus all the other standard info (stuff like night time and landings are auto-filled) and I’m done in about 15 seconds. Overall just a great product by a solid company with great support. You can tell Dauntless really cares about their work and the latest UI update continues to improve the experience. Highly recommended, even over the more well-known competitors.
Good logbook app

A good logbook app that runs smooth between MAC, Ipad and Iphone interfaces. The printing features are quite adequate. Some issues with overlapping data entry line, but the app certainly does not crash and runs stable on my interfaces.
Military Pilots Look Out

If you’re a military pilot transitioning to the airlines: This program / app will only let you keep one log book, so if you’re applying to different airlines that treat military time differently, ie, Southwest vs American, you will have to redo your logbook to accommodate the different ways of totaling your hours. After engaging with Safelog customer service all I got was “Safelog doesn''t (sic) support creating multiple logbooks under the same account.” Try LogTen Pro instead.
Top Notch

There is no better app, and I’ve tried them all. I’ve been using this app for a over 7 years and have had zero problems. It has easily adapted to all types of flying I’ve done as well, from GA to 135 and 121. I can’t recommend it enough.
Logbook printing is absolutely horrible

Logbook is good, but printing is ridiculous. Can’t print from app, and can’t see what the print out will look like until you enter all the fields you want.
