Thanks Mike, it almost bit me in the nose. I've been overwelmed trying to learn the two different systems that I'm considering and I am starting to miss the obvious. I found that when using IFly on my phone, the history button doesn't display in portrait mode thus why I wasn't seeing it. I needed to restart it in landscape mode and the button showed up. Unfortunetly it is literally a history of everything I do in the app, like just looking at an airport diagram shows up on the log as a line item. I was hoping to see a list of flights that I've taken instead, which I understand doesn't exist yet.

This is not a difficult feature to add, and it really should have it.

Maybe or maybe not.  That would probably depend on what's involved and how much demand there is for it.  I would never use it as I always log hobbs meter time.

Also, as has been pointed out before, MyFlightBook is a very capable app.  And free (though you should contribute).

I understand the inclination to want it to be in iFly, since it's collecting flight data anyway, and who wants to have more apps than necessary?  But MyFlightBook can automatically keep track of origination/intermediate/destination points, and flight time -- which is probably a couple of the main reasons you want a logbook in iFly.  Besides doing that though, it has a large feature set that I'm sure iFly would not want to duplicate.  Things like keeping track or your pilot currencies (flight review, medical, passenger carrying [day & night]), and aircraft currencies (annual, transponder, etc.).  Plus, you can search and total your log entries a bunch of different ways.  And print out your entries, if required or so inclined, in various logbook formats. 

There's something to be said for an app that specializes in one thing.

Wow, I've been using Myflightbook, but didn't know that it can " automatically keep track of origination/intermediate/destination points, and flight time ". I need to do some digging and figure out how . . .
