Published platform details vary by tool. CrewLounge PILOTLOG lists Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, while eLogBook lists web access.
Check the logbook type
Match the software to the record you need to keep. The list identifies aviation and maritime logbook types for relevant tools.

Review record controls
Compare offline entry, digital signatures, export formats and record retention before you choose. These controls affect how you capture, approve, move and keep entries.
Check the maker's details for the controls that matter to your workflow, including whether entries can be made without a connection and how long records are retained.
Check code and integration needs
If open-source code matters, check whether a tool offers it, then review the licence and available support before adopting it.
An API is one of the platform options covered here. Check whether the integration path fits the systems that must exchange logbook data.
