I'm a professional pilot flying around 90 hours a month. I would love to test or purchase any android logbook in development. I've been searching for a while now. How can I purchase it? You can email me at Ericreed22@gmail.com. Thank you.
 
Lenchan, ur app Is excellent! I also like ur plans for future apps. If I may I'd just like to leave some feed
back..
Firstly, the hours that are calculated need to be In houris and minutes instead is a decimal but I'm sure u planned that already..
Also would be great if when the times are inserted, the total is copied to the clipboard so It can be pasted into the right box.
Also.. some airlines use whats called factorised hours, Which is a percentage of the hours flown whwn there r3 or 4 pilots instead of 2. My company calls this factorised hours or FTL. And we use 85% for 4 pilot operations and 90% for 3 pilot ops. Would It be possible to have another box for FTL where you could choosea percentage of the total flight time? Thanks. Will give u more feedback on ur next version.
Hope I'm not overwhelming u.. just giving suggestions. Thanks again Lenchan for ur great work..

Noted. Some people like hh:mm and some like decimal hours. Still thinking what to do :)

Can you provide an example please to show the intended result/effect. Some people have suggested some form of auto entry of piloting times.

Ok, do you just want a field to capture this %, or you want some calculations to be applied as well. There will be support for user-defined fields in future test releases - maybe that will solve this problem if you don't need any further processing?

Thanks for your feedback. All suggestions are very welcome, and we're prioritising requested features, so we won't feel overwhelmed :)

Also, expect v0.2 to come out in the next few days :D

Hi lenchan, as i already told you, me too prefer to have hh:mm format
Anyway, is very difficult to implement both?

I believe that auto-entry could be done for PIC/FO time, IFR (in case of airline flying) just having some sort of "option" that count the whole time as "a kind" (count all my time as "FO" and "IFR" unless i manually change it)

Waiting for it, the app looks very good even at this early stage

I would also appreciate this!
 
I would love to see a way for all the total times to be reflected on my android device. For example, PIC, SIC, jet, total time, etc. Other then that, it's a great app...... Looking forward to the update 0.2.

Looking for testers for the following apps:

(1) Balloon LogBook

The app can capture details on balloon flights, balloons and launch/landing sites (with Google Maps & GPS integration).

Screenshots taken from the real app.

(2) Pilot LogBook

Developed for commercial pilots, this app can capture details on flights, aircraft, etc.

Screenshots taken from the real app.

If you are interested in any of the above, please send me a private message and I'll send you a download link when ready.

Hi Lenchan and others,

I have used the app for a few weeks now. I like it a lot already. For improvements I agree with people who prefer the hh:mm format.
Auto entry for the hours would be nice as well. Default to day for example and if you put anything in the night box it should adjust the day hours.
Other that that, some kind of query function where I could see hours flown over the last 6 months for example or the last year, would be a nice implementation as well.
Thanks for all your good work. As far as I know you are the only one so far with a workable app.

Regards,
Peter

Working on accommodating both hh:mm and hh.x :-) Due to the time constraint, we may have to settle for one first for v0.2.

Many testers are interested in auto entry so we're bringing this feature forward to v0.2. Different testers have quite different views of how they want it done, so the v0.2 implementation is perhaps an initial attempt.

We'll have a (preliminary) summary feature in v0.2, and a more sophisticated one with custom query/range in v0.3.

The current implementation of the summary function is like this.

Thanks for your feedback.

BTW, it seems that a long time has passed since we released v0.1, but I just realised that it was only 2 weeks ago! :-) Originally, we planned to have v0.2 out by now, but we have decided to bring forward some v0.x features plus some other user requests to v0.2, so we're a bit behind.

It looks like that we'll stretch the schedule out for one more week, but for those who are eagerly waiting, v0.2 should be an interesting release.

In the meantime, please continue your testing and feedback.

Thank you so much for the time invested in that...
 
Thanks Lenchan,

Can't wait to see the next release. The summary function looks really good.
Another suggestion I would like to make, is to be able to customize the hours input. For example I don't really care anymore whether my hours are day or night. Some hours I act as an instructor in a simulator and there is no input for that right now. I am using the "instruments" column for that right now. Be nice if I could rename that. Instrument is not something I log seperately anymore.

Thanks, the summary screen has changed a bit since I posted the screenshot. Anyway, v0.2 is progressing quite well, and it should be out real soon :)

Do you need just a single field for capturing the instructor time? Do other people need to capture day and night instructor times?

v0.3 is expected to have support for custom fields, so you can define a custom time field called "Instructor Time" to capture that.
 
Regarding the output time format HH:MM or HH.X, it would be great to be able to be able to choose your output default in either format.
