A simple streamlined logbook made for GA. Created by a flight instructor for folks who don't bother with duty time.

"I very much appreciate the simplicity. Most of the programs put in too much crap that nobody really wants."

"Great app. Easy to log my time."

Cons

Lacks digital endorsement support (endorsements not available yet).
Data import/export could be built-in or easier; users want better import from various sources.
Time tracking gaps for certain time types (flight simulator time not shown; FTD time may not count toward totals).
Occasional stability issues reported by some users (app crashes).

Recent reviews

Hi, it’s a great app indeed, very easy to use and easy to review. But there’s a function missing, which is the flight simulator time is not showing at all. Also I’m using BATD in school but there’s only AATD available. If you could kindly add these 2 functions would be wonderful!

Easy to use app for logging all your flight time. I submitted feedback to add the option to filter previous 30 days, received a response within hours, and within two days an update was issued with my request. Never seen such customer service with an app. Great to see, keep it up!
