please add “flight simulator” time column

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!

Awesome APP

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!

Perfect application

This is nothing but a wholesome of super cool logbook.

Does not let you count ftd time towards total time

This free app is awesome and works great, that being said i noticed a few issues. It will not let ftd time count towards total time if you choose ftd. Also i think it would be nice if you could take pics of your logbook pages to further keep the record in case of logbook damage or loss

Great App!

I love this app! Great job making a simple to use and feature packed app. I like the airports — pins on the map feature for my summer GA trips.
I use it for my professional logging in the airlines too.

Great work!

The best

I’m just $100 hamburger🍔 GA pilot✈️ this app is perfect! super simple super clean and free. Thank you. Would gladly donate to keep a running. This app is kept up to date. And stays simple. 👍🏼

Good, simple

Waiting for a digital endorsement option.
Ways to import would be sweet too, but it’s a good start if you want something simple and easy to use!
Would be sweet to have reminders if you are about to go out of currency!
Overall really user friendly and simple though.

Easy Logbook

This is a great logbook if you are looking for simplicity and comprehensiveness. I recently retired from the military and spent several afternoons searching for a digital logbook I could grow into. I chose this app for its simplicity and intuitiveness. I did spend some time figuring out how to enter my military data into the given format. I would have given this app 5 stars however, currently there isn’t a way to record a digital endorsement. I contacted technical support and was told a digital endorsement is being worked and should appear in future updates. I’m also extremely pleased with the timelines of their responses. I write very few online reviews. I decided to review this app to help support it’s growth. I will recommend this app to all my peers.

Good Start

Would be perfect if you could add blocks off, takeoff, landing and blocks on time

App Unexpectedly Quit

Recently, App not running and unexpectedly quit every time.

Great app & amazing customer service!

Such a simple and straightforward logbook app - love it! Customer service from Justin was amazing - he helped get my prior android only logbook data over into this app seamlessly. I would pay for this app if it wasn't free. Highly recommended!!

Its amazing app for logging your flight and has amazing features
Thanks too much

Great compact log program

Nicely done simple logger suitable for making records away from home. No more forgotten log entries!

The developer has been very responsive with updates, patches and even personal help.

Great App

Great no frills logbook for GA pilots. Entering a flight is easy. There are fields for everything you need. The author answered my enquires within hours.

I Love it

I love this app. I keep a paper log plus this app to keep track of my flight hours. It's super easy to use and it is very accurate when it adds your hours. You can also quickly see what you need to do to get IFR current or when your next BFR is due. It recognize check rides and moves all BFR dates accordingly so you know exactly what and when it needs to be done to stay current. There's no ads either!!!!!! (That alone is a deal breaker for me). Anyways, I recommend this app to all my friends and students.

The down side-There's no way for a CFI to sign his/her signature for any students using this app to keep track of their hours.

Cool app

Looks like a cool, app love airplane apps.

dBrief Logbook

I have been looking for an electronic logbook app for quite some time but all seemed to be over-complicated, hard to import data, or too fancy. I downloaded this one and, at first, had the concern over importing a lot of data. I emailed the support on a Monday night at 8:00 Pm and assumed I would get no response. Within 15 minutes I received an email saying - just send me your spreadsheet logbook and I will import it for you. I was impressed and I sent the logs. The next morning all of my data was in the logbook with about 6 entries corrected that the developer found as errors. What a great service.

The next day I received another email saying he had found a bug in the app and to make sure to download the latest version from the app store. Again, what great service.

The logbook is very cool, easy to use, and meets all of my needs. Yes, it is pretty basic, but that is the beauty of it. And I am confident that if I ever have any issues the developer will address them quickly.

Traps/cats

Is there any way to log traps/cats? Can you add this function?

Well coded, easy to use, and very convenient logbook for your EFB

I've been using dBrief since launch, and no other electronic logbook I used previously can come close. dBrief makes entering and reviewing flights a breeze, easier even than my paper one...which has admittedly fallen behind. For any student pilot or pilot pursuing an additional rating/certificate, the automatic FAA 8710 group makes completing IACRA a piece of cake, and is an absolute must have. On top of that, features like excel integration, automatic currency updates, and the ability to view flight info between any given date in any type or specific airplane makes dBrief among the most convenient, quick, and effortless ways to keep track of your time.

Looking for an inexpensive solution to my Log Book

After a less than stellar beginning due to a poor internet connection, I was, I must confess a bit chagrined at having chosen this app. HOWEVER! I was able to contact the creator/administrator and he enabled me to get it up and running. I emailed him a copy of my log I had on a spread sheet in Numbers and he up loaded it, I then went through and edited it and...Now I think I truly have found the inexpensive solution. I'm a private pilot with instrument rating, currently pursuing my Commercial rating and quite frankly too many bells and whistles would get in my way. I just want to keep track of my hours and instrument currency. This app does just that and without the huge price tag of the other more popular logs. I'm glad I made the choice. Maybe down the road I might find a need for a more expensive e-log but this one does the trick quite nicely! Get it! Oh and kudos to the creator/ admin guy for being available for questions and help. A very HUGE plus!!
