ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Swift Pilot Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swift Pilot Logbook has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pilot ToolBox's written reviews are positive against 95% of Swift Pilot Logbook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilot ToolBox ships an update every 2 months, Swift Pilot Logbook weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
