The Skylog Pro iPhone/iPad app, in conjunction with the most mature and well respected Professional Pilot Personal Flying Logbook - Skylog Pro, is the ideal app for professional pilots using the very popular Apple iPhone/iPad mobile devices when away from home. Created in 1996, Skylog Pro is used by thousands of airline pilots around the globe. Please note that, as with all our mobile apps, the iPhone app is designed to work with the Skylog Pro V6.09 (or later) PC application; it is NOT a stand-alone app, and can only be used in conjunction with the main PC application. Simple to use, the Skylog Pro iPhone app enables you to quickly record flight, simulator and duty hour details on your iPhone or iPod touch anywhere in the world, on the ground or in the Flight Levels, and allows you to continue using SkyLog Pro on your PC. Once back home, your iPhone/iPod touch data is synchronised by WiFi with the main Skylog Pro database on your PC using the Skylog iPhone Conduit available by FREE download from www.skylog.co.uk. Two reports are available which enable you to monitor your flight & duty hour currency. The Duty/Flight Hours Report will assist you in tracking of your flight and duty time currency for the preceding 7, 14 and 28-day periods (or limits and monitoring periods of your choice). The Flying Duty Hours Report, specifically for pilots operating aircraft registered in the United Kingdom, will enable calculation of your allowable flying duty hours in accordance with CAP 371. Skylog Pro, coupled with the iPhone/iPod touch app, is the ultimate combination for helping Professional Pilots comply with aviation authority record-keeping requirements. It gives you all the functionality and analytical reporting capabilities you would expect from a leading modern, sophisticated electronic logbook, including flight, simulator and duty hours, a/c type or categories flown, instrument approaches, destinations and much more. Existing Skylog Pro V6+ users need only purchase this app and then download the free iPhone synchronisation conduit from www.skylog.co.uk - where you will also be able to review all the features of Skylog Pro in detail. Please note that the iPhone/iPad app requires Skylog Pro V6.12 or later. Users of earlier V6 versions may update their applications free of charge by selecting Main Menu>Help>Check for Updates.

A companion app to the Lightspeed Delta Zulu ANR headset, the Lightspeed app for iOS features an array of integrated features to keep pilots and passengers safer during flight. Track CO Sensors for Safer Flying The Lightspeed app allows pilots to check the CO levels in the aircraft during flight, using a CO sensor built right into the Lightspeed Delta Zulu headset. The sensor provides real-time smart alerts via the proprietary Kanari™ smart alert technology. Historical data can be stored, reviewed, and analyzed after use and during the flight(s). Personalize Audio with HearingEQity™ The Lightspeed app introduces a built-in audio equalization system called HearingEQity™ designed to compensate for individual hearing loss. Through an automated 12-frequency hearing test taken through the app, HearingEQity sets the hearing level in each ear in a variety of frequency bands of the Lightspeed Delta Zulu headset to create an individual hearing profile and compensate for any hearing variations between ears. Record Conversations, Archive Flight Recordings, and More... The Lightspeed App allows pilots to record radio conversations, playback transmissions, draw diagrams, and archive flight recordings for post-flight briefings and training.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Lightspeed App at Free against Skylog Pro's $24.99. Lightspeed App also leads on rating (3.3 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (49 vs 1). Skylog Pro's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 12%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lightspeed App holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightspeed App has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Skylog Pro's written reviews are positive against 12% of Lightspeed App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skylog Pro ships an update every 5 months, Lightspeed App every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
