## Review summary

APDL is a feature-rich logbook with strong 117/rest-tracking and auto-fill automation that many pilots rely on, plus a handy commuting tool. Repeated complaints focus on price, reliability and data-import issues, plus uneven customer support and limited interoperability with other logbook apps.

### Pros

- Strong FAR 117 compliance and rest/time calculation tools (FDP tracking, daily limits).
- Autofill and automatic data capture (OOOI times, flight times, and leg credit) that simplify logbook maintenance.
- Useful commuting feature that helps identify home-base options and schedule compatibility.
- Wide range of automation and tools (notes, payroll, weather, delays) that keep data up to date and organized.

### Cons

- High price with recent increases; perceived value seems out of reach for some users.
- Data import and integration issues (FLICA/schedule imports) that can render trips or schedules unreliable.
- Bugs and usability problems (dates, FDP calculations) and a steeper learning curve; some users call it not user-friendly.
- Customer service and refund experiences are inconsistent, including reports of limited refunds.
- Limited interoperability (no sync with LogBook Pro) and gaps for cargo/part 121 readiness.
