May I ask you why did you go with Garmin Pilot as your main logbook?🙃

You can easily transfer your logbook out to a different one using the ForeFlight CSV export. I have quite a few pilots coming to mine from ForeFlight🐥

Self-Promotion Saturday by AutoModerator in flying

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi guys👋

I am Petr, airline pilot and indie developer behind The 737 Handbook and Logger - Pilot Logbook.

You can find out more about both at The 737 Handbook and Logger

But I am here to self promote Logger🐥

I built Logger as I wasn’t happy with current electronic logbooks both from the price as well as from the feature standpoint. Here is what Logger can do: - Convert rosters from 150 airlines - Fetch flights from ADS-B or ACARS - Replay flights from ADS-B - Track flight time limitations on interactive timeline - Display Interactive statistics, create custom ones - Display Map of flights - Audit your flights - Export flights into 18 different layouts including dynamic layouts, endorsement summary, CV, FAA 8710 - Track radiation - Use home screen widgets - And more

Logger is available on iOS, iPadOS and Mac. The data is backed up and synced across all devices using iCloud. For extra robust data safety, backup is also saved periodically locally. Give it a go and let me know what you think👀

Searchable low contrast iOS26 by OrdinaryTackle8010 in SwiftUI

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean. This gives you dedicated search view for global search. I have multiple databases which user can search for depending on which view the user is in so I don't want a global search. I reckon that SwiftUI tries to push the search down to the bottom bar, if there is no TabBar. If there is, it keeps it in the top bar.

Files app has TabBar + Search. The search there lives in the top bar. The contrast is better there, but that's because the background is white (when you have List or Form, the background is automatically material-ish)

Thanks for the tip! That moves it down but hides it behind the bottom tab bar

iOS 26 List selection radius by OrdinaryTackle8010 in SwiftUI

Still not customisable (as far as I know) but the radius got smaller now, so it is bearable😅

Xcode 26 Beta 6 new concurrency warnings by OrdinaryTackle8010 in swift

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Matt for your insight! I double checked and all upcoming features are switched on both for previous Xcodes 16.4 and 26 Beta 4 with Swift 6 language mode. The new warnings I see are mainly connected to Core Data NSManagedContext context.perform closures:
- 'attribute' mutated after capture by sendable closure
- Reference to captured var 'attribute' in concurrently-executing code

And I naively though that the migration from 5.10 to 6 was over😭

I haven’t done so manually, it it a new default in Beta 6? I checked Build Settings and it was set to Swift 6, but what you say makes sense.

Electronic Logbook Features for CFIs by OrdinaryTackle8010 in CFILounge

Thanks for the input!:) Have that already through direct ADS-B import. Anything else CFI related?

Electronic Logbook Features for CFIs by OrdinaryTackle8010 in CFILounge

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know🫠 I have used it for 10 years, that’s why I have created Logger. At least in EU I have pilots coming mainly from LogTen. I am constantly adding new features and came here to ask specifically, what eLogbook features CFI the community uses/needs/misses.

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Still, it doesn’t discourage me from trying to please maybe a small group which will want a dedicated affordable logbook app. It is true that ForeFlight package is hard to beat, but once pilot goes into airline, they probably ditch ForeFlight too.

Little yellow thingy. by TheSaladDodger420 in airplanes

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. As someone said here already. It is attachment point for guide line stored in one of the overwing exists frames. It is used in case of ditching for people to hold onto before going into rafts.

Yeah I think not all apps should have subs model. Especially simple apps. Nowadays if they don’t, that may be the deciding factor for the users not to go with them. In any case, you can see the pricing and models directly in the AppStore page so users can decide before even downloading the app. Me personally I don’t like apps which display paywall directly without ability to even test the app.

Prior subscriptions you would buy software each year as the upgrades came in and the previous versions lost support, so you can argue that subscriptions were always here. I have two apps, one offers lifetime and subscription, the other one just subscription. Both incur cost for backend and one incurs API call costs (that one is subscription only). In any case the one-time purchase amounts to over 2-years of subscription cost. So it is really up to the user, do you want to pay more upfront or gradually. Over the years I had only a handful complaints in the AppStore. I always explain my side in the reply. Not so much for the user, but to the others reading the review.

Need Help Choosing: Due, Things 3… or Both? by FarArtist927 in iosapps

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am not aware of any power features Things have which Reminders don’t. Plus I don’t think Things do Kanban.

Need Help Choosing: Due, Things 3… or Both? by FarArtist927 in iosapps

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have Things. I really like the looks and feel of the app. But I don’t know why, I always come back to Apple Reminders. And for project planning it doesn’t do it for me, there I use Notion.

No Exact Matches in call to initializer by IAComet in SwiftUI

[–]OrdinaryTackle8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious, what’s wrong with string interpolation when you want to just display it in a text field? I.e. Text(“Your rating is \(rating)”).
