I tried Safelog and found it to be excellent. To respond to the previous guy - I got my log data exported from the old Jepp logbook software with no problem at all, and the Safelog people were quick to answer my questions. If John has feature requests, I think he should just ask them, as they've been responsive for me (I found a bug in one of the reports and they fixed it the same day). I'm waiting now for their iPhone app version, which they say is due soon. Hi and thanks for the review. I tried Safelog and found it to be excellent.

I used to work at Oracle as a technical consultant. I know my way around a database. If you have 10,000 hours in csv format you are going to spend 2-3 days FORCING your data into this Microsoft Access database. Having said that once you are in you are going to generate some BEAUTIFUL reports. The whole reason I bought this was to run gorgeous reports, so I was willing to put up with the DB input errors (there were too many to count). What I'd like to see is: Lets say you are importing 10,000 records. The import process kicks out 500 for whatever reason. Import the 9,500 and leave me alone - take the 500 and stick them into a new table called - rejects. Flag the data that rejected. Now I can spend a few hours massaging the data that got rejected (flat file, etc). Then I can append the database with the 500 rejects. Now I get a new table with 50 rejects. Lather rinse repeat. Nuff said. I’m an MCSE and an ATPL CFIAIM. I used to work at Oracle as a technical consultant.
