Airguide Publications, the publisher of Flight Guide airport guides and the iEFB tablet app, has ceased operations.
Customers with an iEFB subscription were left to wonder about the updates they were owned after the app was pulled from Apple’s App Store.
ZuluLog.com has release its new iOS app targeted for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touchdevices. Although the new app can be used as a standalone pilot logbook on the device, it is designed to be used in conjunction with a cloud-based user account at ZuluLog.com.

Once back online, customers can sync data from the app to their online ZuluLog.com accounts with a single click, company officials said.

This time with Planes on Poles. Think plane-spotting without the noise and motion. Planes on Poles is an “app for uploading and sharing photos of Planes on Poles with other rigid airframe aficionados”. Below are screenshots from the app on my iPad. When loaded on an iPhone, the app allows a user to easily upload images to the Planes on Poles map for others to see and enjoy. The app is free from the App Store. [Read more…]
