## What is Plane log?

Keeping a log of all your plane sightings has never been easier. Whether you are at an airport, travelling, plane spotting or just at home, with this app you can always check your log. Add new sightings, edit existing ones or check if you have just seen a new one. Online or offline!

The app is directly linked with the Spottingmode website and will regularly synchronize the data with the server. Your existing sightings will be downloaded from the server on first use, after that all changes made in the app, or on the website, will be synchronized.

- Handy insert assistants to speed up inserting new sightings
- Viewing all sightings with extensive filtering options

### 3/5 — its so great execpt a super annoying bug

*2025-09-10*

its super and great for my plane spotting in my house execpt When saving a sighting, the date goes back one day after saving. It looks like a timezone offset issue.

### 5/5 — Perfect app to keep track of planes

*2025-02-18*

Had this app for a few days now and it’s the perfect app too keep track of plane and the ones you have seen. One thing I would like to see is where theirs a category to add what airline it’s from.

### 5/5 — Great enhanced functionality for Plane Log

*2023-04-02*

I have been using the Spottingmode Apps for four years and this latest update to Plane Log is brilliant!

The ability to save/name filters is a very welcome addition to the App and toggling between filters is much quicker and very easy once you have set them up and saved them. 

The Statistics page is very welcome and provides annual/overall breakdowns of your sightings by various database fields. Again toggling between individual years or overall stats is very easy using the pre-defined year buttons. 

The scratchpad is a great addition and it will come in useful when out and about. 

I also really like the addition of the little flags against each of your sightings! Nice touch!

Thank you for this additional functionality and well done to Erwin and the Spottingmode team!
