## What is RCLogbook?

Be sure to check out http://www.clevertangerine.com, look over the user’s guide, ask us — RCLogbook does many things that some of the reviews claim it does not (for example, logging without the timer, having to shake the device to operate the timer, etc).

RCLogbook is an iOS application designed by an RC pilot for RC modelers who need a convenient and effortless logging solution for their RC models and batteries.

Once you enter some basic information about your models and batteries (such as names, capacities, photos, propellers, and so on), RCLogbbok takes over to help you capture and edit information on flights (or races) such as the total time, location, notes, or average current draw. RCLogbook allows you to filter models, batteries, events, and other information with filtering expressions.

RCLogbook is designed to integrate seamlessly with your modeling by traveling with you to the flying field, racetrack, or lake. RCLogbook provides a timer allowing you to update your logs as you fly or race your models. It can also operate away from the field by allowing you to log events manually.

With RCLogbook, you can keep a log of each flight or race that includes the duration, notes, location, propeller, style, fuel and the batteries that were used. RCLogbook automatically tracks the total time on the model, number of flights, and so on. RCLogbook‘s built-in timer is fully integrated with the tracking making it easy to gather information. The timer supports count up and down modes and can use voice or musical chimes to let you know when you need to think about bringing your model back. The timer is optional and can be operated through gestures or through screen buttons.

RCLogbook tracks battery charge and discharge cycles including per-pack and per-cell resting voltages, per-pack and per-cell internal resistances, discharge durations, charge amounts, and storage charge state. RCLogbook automatically updates discharge information at the end of a flight or race and can compute the average current draw during the flight or race. Using this information, you can watch the health of your batteries thorough a number of battery performance plots.

To make logging even easier, RCLogbook can generate barcodes and use a built-in barcode scanner to select batteries and models for events.

RCLogbook also supports maintenance logs and checklists allowing you to keep up to date on keeping your models in top shape.

“The programmers have done a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the iPhone's gestures, look, and feel.” — "Worth A Closer Look", Model Aviation

### 5/5 — This is a great tool to track your rc flying with

*2024-11-30*

I have been using this app for a few years and I love it.

**Developer response:** There is support in the app for parallel charging. You can double-tapp a battery in the Battery tab to parallel cycle multiple packs. The Logging Cycles section of the user's guide (accessible either through the app from "About RCLogbook" or on the RCLogbook page on clevertangerine.com) has additional details on RCLogbook's implementation. Drop us an email if you have suggestions on how to improve that support.

### 1/5 — No flight logs

*2024-10-20, version 5.2.3*

Whilst I love the interface and many options, why is there no ability to add a flight log? I’ll just create my own app as this is kind of pointless.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-08-17, version 5.2.3*

Super way of tracking models and batteries with some really clever analytics used with batteries in particular. Easy to use, simple to download the database file and a good way of checking just how many cycles your batteries have, keeping track of what is or isn’t charged and even how much each model costs per flight!

### 5/5 — Best of the RC apps still

*2022-06-26*

I’ve used this app for years and can say this is still the best little app on the market. I hope the developer keeps supporting it.

### 4/5 — Great product. I use every time I fly!

*2022-04-18*

Such a great tool for keeping my planes and batteries, maintenance under control. I fly every week and have about 15 planes I fly regularly and this keeps me on track with each plane. The reporting function is very powerful to understand the history of your experiences with each plane. Great job!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-05-25, version 5.2.2*

If you are investing money into this hobby, find an iPhone indispensible and you can take the time log all the parameters of your flight this app will be invaluable to you.
Backup regularly and periodically print your fiiltered logs by model and you will really appreciate this app.

### 3/5 — App

*2021-02-16*

Not very user friendly

### 5/5 — This is a great tool to track your rc flying with

*2021-01-21, version 5.2.2*

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2020-08-22*

So far, it’s the best flight and battery logging app I’ve found, but has room for improvement.  The flight timer feature gets in the way and slows data entry down if you’re like me and use your transmitter’s timer instead.  It could be easier to log flights in bulk at the end of the day.  Also wish there were notifications warning you after a few days if you left your LiPo batteries at anything other than storage charge.

### 5/5 — Great Log Keeping for batteries and drones

*2020-08-02*

Keeps great track of my Quad Copter and Drones flight times and best part is Battery Cycles it keeps for each battery.

Excellent APP for a drone brain.
