Chris,
I fully, completely, wholeheartedly understand your point of view and no disrespect taken. 100% of our resources were devoted to APDL to get it to market. Some don't understand why APDL didn't release on Jan 4, 2014 when FAR 117 first came out, they don't realize how long development takes. In order to get APDL out even on Jan 4, 2015 we had to prioritize our resources and Logbook Pro Desktop which is stable was not something we could do yet it was the #1 item on the beta tester feedback as well, so it is not a surprise to hear this, our beta testers told me/us the same - but again, we have to do what we can to get APDL in your hands at all. You can now use APDL for your FAR 117 needs and we continue to develop it but have also resumed other projects such as Logbook Pro Desktop. Keep in mind, long ago APDL and Logbook Pro were two completely separate products (they still are) once owned by two different companies. Years after APDL came out it started porting data to Logbook Pro, then NC Software acquired APDL circa 2005. We realize people rely on both and we are working full steam ahead to get the brand new APDL passing its data to Logbook Pro for you. You have options in the interim: 1) Dual log as required directly in Logbook Pro Desktop, 2) Use Logbook Pro Mobile along side APDL, both can import schedules, 3) Wait to port the data into Logbook Pro Desktop when the feature becomes available if you don't rely on Logbook Pro reporting at the moment.
So the moral is, was it more important to put APDL in your hands as soon as we could or hold it off another few months just to bring it out when Logbook Pro Desktop can sync? I think most would prefer to get started in APDL and get legality and other uses in play then port the data when Logbook Pro Desktop's update comes out.
Hope this explains it, we are not a team of 2500 developers. We are a small company with several major applications on three different platforms as well as server side infrastructure we develop and maintain.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
