### 1/5 — Zero customer service. WORTHLESS

*2026-08-18*

App worked fine until about a month ago. They came up with an update and messed everything up. After the mess they created for changing an app that was working fine they have released four updates and still having the samenissues. They talk big game of their “customer service” and WILL comment right below this negative review with their “sorry line” but still will not reply to a support ticket created weeks ago. Gents and Gals please save your hard earned money and look elsewhere. This log app is NOT WORTH it.

### 1/5 — Complete Failure

*2026-04-15, version 5.4.51*

Five years ago, this was the best logbook out there. I researched them all and tried many. Roster import was phenomenal, logbook formatting for interview printing was great, the ability to parse flight times from ACARS OOOI, and night/xc/IFR calculations adjusted for local times.

Something happened about 2 years ago. I am at my third airline, all have used different interfaces. I was able to import my trips for almost 2 months then summer of 2024 it just…stopped. Mid-trip and I couldn’t sync updated data. With no notice they “suspended all imports.” No apology. No help. They have never re-implemented the feature. The only ‘solution’ was to curtly inform me they just decided to stop and will never reinstate it, and for my troubles they would prorate my 5 year software license (but only if I canceled abs therefore lost my ability to continue logging). Still upsets me to this day. 

I am still using the app out of spite because I have some months left on the license, but after the end of this year it expires and I am not renewing. It is arduous to manually create every pilot profile, every tail number, manually create every flight, add the OOOI times. The app doesn’t remember pairing numbers when I build a return leg. Frequently saves my local times as Zulu times, but not for every OOOI block. The ACARS capture never works anymore. I take a picture which has the times very clear but it always fails “no IN time” or some nonense even though OOOI is all there. Manual roster import has never worked. I have tried logging in via their API screen. I have tried screenshots of my trip sheets. I have tried PDF imports via the manual tab. Always hangs at 75% and “no flights found.” I don’t know how much clearer the trip sheet could be. It literally has times, flight numbers, city pairs, etc. 

The whole point of paying, was to make this simple and automated. It is not. It is tedious. Erroneous. Constantly have to correct the app’s incorrect info. If the app was free, it wouldn’t  be a big deal. But the broken features, removal of features, and the “oh well it sucks to be you” attitude from this company is maddening. All around the time Aviobook acquired PILOTLOG.

### 1/5 — Won’t open on my phone

*2026-04-14, version 5.4.51*

Works on the iPad but won’t even open on my phone.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-02-06*

Ok

**Developer response:** Dear Pilot,

Thanks for your feedback. We’re always looking for ways to simplify the experience and make the app more user-friendly. If you have specific suggestions on what feels too complex, we’d love to hear them! #crewlounge

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-02-04, version 5.4.44*

Syncs well

### 5/5 — Excellent app for your logbook

*2025-12-06*

I have been using it for more than 10 years, never disappointed. 
ADS B function to log your flights is very useful, quick to use. I can only recommend Pilotlog

**Developer response:** Dear pilot,

Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated

### 2/5 — Initially great, but not anymore

*2025-10-21*

Worked fantastically with the original eCrew rostering app, could easily import all of my flights electronically. However, since eCrew app changed a while back I can no longer electronically import my flights. This kind of defeats the point of me having the app, I think I will most likely be getting a new app where I can do this. I am sure there was meant to be an update so this would work again, but as of yet I haven’t seen it, I maybe wrong.

**Developer response:** Dear James,

Thank you for your review.
Would it be possible to reach out to us via support@crewlounge.aero so we can look into the issue, if you have not done so yet.

As we're not affiliated with airlines or suppliers of roster software, an update can cause issues on our interfaces as we're not informed when these take place. 
When pilots report those problems to us, we investigate and can -in most cases- resolve the problem and ensure the interface works again correctly.

Take care & fly safe!

### 5/5 — Excellent App, works brilliantly

*2025-10-04*

So been with them since 2018, they’ve been through ups and downs but truly are always trying there best to keep up with the times. The logbook itself is absolutely brilliant and due to privacy laws they’ve had to adapt import roster features with many airline interfaces. It yet still is one of the best logbooks ive come across, decent pricing and there constantly improving and they care about you. Reply is slow to emails but they do reply within 2 working days

**Developer response:** Dear pilot,

Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated!

Take care & fly safe!

### 1/5 — Roster download broken again

*2025-09-27, version 5.4.34*

I originally paid for MCC PILOTLOG lifetime which they then went back on by releasing a new app and asking us to pay for a new lifetime subscription. Stupidly I did this. 

Now, every couple of months the roster download stops working, and they seem to have no idea how to fix it.

More and more features are removed, recently the crew names are no longer included in the download (when it works). They blame GDPR for this but no other app has this issue and it’s a legal requirement to include the PIC name so I have to manually enter it anyway. 

In the end, I have to enter so much manually I’m better off with the old classic paper logbook.

### 5/5 — Fantastic free version

*2025-09-19, version 5.4.34*

Fantastic app great user interface, will probably end up buying the subscription.
