Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LogTen Pilot Logbook at 4.7 against Following's 4.0. LogTen Pilot Logbook also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 6) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). Following's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (50% vs 35%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LogTen Pilot Logbook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LogTen Pilot Logbook has 10K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of LogTen Pilot Logbook's written reviews are positive against 50% of Following's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LogTen Pilot Logbook ships an update every 9 days, Following weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
