That is the app I use. I couldn't remember exactly what the name was.

Yes it is for apple only. It sucks really because I have switched to Android (and LOVE it), but I have so much information in that app that it would take me forever to enter it all in a new app. So my "iPod" is my old iPhone. It's all I use it for anymore.



The app is really nice though. You can save your database in a cloud and then just download it again when you get a new device, you never lose your data that way.

Hey, pen and book works quite nicely. That is my present method of recording. I at least have figured out how to take the cap off the pen. LOL

Pen and book here, gallons of fuel and octane and which station, cg location movements, flights and where sometimes with who, like a pilots log book, dont track batteries just purchase date , and put date on batteries w/ replace date, season end maintenance, fuel lines, filter ,all bolts locktite etc, events and placement in them, all the arestis/unknowns/ scorecards, all the reciepts.. dunno why, makes me cringe to look at them, miles on trailer, prop changes and sizes w/ rpm readings, AU and wet weight of plane, a written copy of set up and mixes in case the radio goes kaput,repairs, whole file on the dang thing, again... dunno why.. ill never sell it.

On a side note... I do this to absolutely nothing else in my life, bills and taxes , autos and all that go in a drawer in a pile or on top of the dresser. Its sick isnt it.

Only problem is im not consistent month to month, but the general scope is there. Had no idea theres an app for it, im not on apple. But my sons a genius with making apps. Hmmm. Keep you posted on that one.

No there is not and I have requested it and I suggest that you do the same.

Oh my....sickness? At least my piles are organized and categorized. LOL...I would say up until this moment, I believed myself be about the most mis-guided priority stricken individual alive. I'm feeling pretty confident that I am pretty close to normal now. Hee hee. Keep us posted on that app. I too am not an apple person. It would be nice if there were apps out there for other telephone operating systems.

He did reply back to me when I requested it but that was a while back. He said he would try and work it in the next upgrade but there has not been any.

After reading some of this thread last Saturday I downloaded an app called T3chDad RC Flight Log for my Android phone. It's pretty basic with date, time, fuel used (even though I have yet to make that work) and flight notes. I need to figure out why I can't seem to make the fuel log work, then it should suit my needs just fine.
