## What is eFlightJournal?

What started out as a “Hey, it’d be cool if my iPhone had a count down timer that spoke on intervals so I know how much longer I can fly my plane” has turned into a full featured RC model flight tracking app that I use for every flight.

eFlightJournal has that talking flight timer and as an added bonus keeps a history of your flights organized by plane, battery and location  - including a summary of total flights and duration for each.   

The timer screen allows you to quickly select the plane and battery and will automatically detect the location making getting up into the air a snap.   It can be configured to speak the time, vibrate or play a sound on various intervals allowing you to concentrate on flying.

It also maintains the current state of batteries (charged, discharged, storage) as well as can track their charge-cycles.  Batteries that require charging display the flight time on the battery (in red) since last charge.

If there is something eFlightJournal doesn't do or can do better please let me know and I'll see what I can come up with (for contact information see the eFlightJournal More > About).

Happy Flying!

### 1/5 — Great Idea but.....

*2023-05-31, version 2.1.1*

Impossible to get in touch with developer.

This app would be perfect if you could add multiple locations. 

There are other incomplete features, but it seems the developer has abandoned a promising app.

Upgrading ro multiple aircraft doesn't fix the single location.
