BMichaeli 1 #1 April 24, 2011 I just got a smart phone and found a log book app that has everything a log book has. i was wondering if it accepted at dropzones and by the USPA? if not would you accept it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't expect anyone to accept it, as there is no way to actually verify the jumps, atleast a current paper book, you have to get some one to sign off on the jump (which, I know, is as easy as a beer and a 'hey, can you sign this', but still) I think it would be akin to trying to use my Neptune as a verification of jump numbers for a license... nobody knows who's hand that altimeter was on, when it was on that jump."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crage 0 #4 April 25, 2011 I have the skydive logbook app for android, and it does have a place for a signature and license number attached to each jump. It also has a countdown feature for repacks and replacing/ maintenance on AADs. I would hope it's accepted considering how detailed you can be for each jump!

Divalent 113 #6 April 25, 2011 What if you lose your phone? Is the info stored elsewhere and retrievable? (And what if you downgrade to a dumb phone?) (Yeah, I know you can lose a log book, but you don't carry that around in your pocket all the time.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WickedOne513 0 #7 April 25, 2011 I have lost my first military log book, I was just lucky that I also had copies of my jump manifest because of pay issues regarding jump pay. I do have both the iPhone app and plan on using a hard copy for back up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Yeah, I know you can lose a log book, but you don't carry that around in your pocket all the time.) John Already answered the lost phone question. But if you are a regular jumper at most dz.'s if you lost your log book they SHOULD be able to print up a record for you I personally have quadruple redundancy in logbooks. I should be good to go. I use the app when I go do a demo and don't have time to log my book. when I get to my book I add the demos and continue as normal.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjsgrlsx3 0 #19 May 15, 2012 I love this app! I downloaded it for my android phone and it works great! I took the time to log all my passed jumps in it also so I could have the total freefall time and everywhere I have jumped. My phone breaks, I get a new one and have a horrible time trying to get it to import my old log into it. I sent Tom an email and he basically did all the work for me.....So here's the problem....I received an ipad3 for Mother's Day and downloaded the app to it! I can not get it to import anything. I think the only way for me to import is through dropbox.....I have tried it a number of times. I contacted Tom again and he has tried his best to help me. At first I tried to import it in the wrong format. So I start all over and when I click on the page to convert files so they can be downloaded onto my ipad3 it does not give me that option. I can not click on a "choose option" button. When I try to import it from the dropbox it says it is complete and I am suppose to hit the OK button...I did just to find out nothing was actually imported.... Is anyone else having this problem?

Deisel 37 #20 May 16, 2012 Shouldn't iCloud make all of this unnecessary? The way I understand this is that once you have data on one device it automatically downloads to all others. Is this not happening and have you contacted Apple about it? OK - I re-read your post. Youre going from Android to iPad and that's a little different. But I would think that Apple should be able to handle the relatively simple maneuver.The brave may not live forever, but the timid never live at all.
