| "I'm running this on a Sony Clie with no problems at all. I stopped using a diary to record daily flights from the minute I started using CK years ago. I do take the precaution of a regular back-up to my PC, but this is integrated into the Clie back-up and is quick and easy. It's totally suited to Airline flying. Top marks. {version 4.039}" |

| "Captain's Keeper Support worked with me to help identify and fix errors over a 2 year period and I must state that the program now runs error free for me. I highly recommend this program. {version v5.2 & v5.4}" |

| "After looking around and talking to many pilots I am just about to purchase this software. In my company many of our pilots are using this program and they are extremely happy with it. It's very user friendly! I just wish they could add some custom fields. They are going to get my business!! " |

| "I've been using this program for over a year and have found it to perform exactly as advertised. Had minor issues on one occasion but the support staff at NimbleFeet had me back running in short order. Bad ratings here in the reviews DO NOT reflect on my experiences with Captain's Keeper. I have tried several programs and settled on this one for my daily use. {version 4}" |

| "I have been meaning to write a post here for about a year to help you guys out...better late than never. Don't make the same mistake I did...look elsewhere. The developer doesn't fixx the bugs and makes all kinds of promises via email and on his web page about the "upcoming update/fixes" that never come. Look on his web page and note the date of the last revision...yeah...2003...yet he has been saying it's coming...sounds like the promise that the "check is in the mail..." you know the rest. The publisher is very helpful, just like that car salesman, until he makes the sale...then once you buy the expensive program...well...you know the rest. In short, I deleted the program and broke out my old method...Excel spreadsheet...if you have this...it works much better with out all the limitations and flaws! Don't fly the same route...look at this program as a thunderstorm...fly around it as it's safer!" |

| "CK4 is head and shoulders above all other Palm based logbook applications, and well worth the price. The only item missing is the ability to change the paper size in the Windows print utility. The only paper option is A4, which is not available in Canada and the U.S. As a result, printed reports get cut off at one end." |

| "Love it! I just wish the PC interface was a little more robust in it's reporting and filtering abilities." |

| "This is the best logbook application that I have tried. Unlike most of the others it stores your entire logbook on both the Palm and in Windows. Some of the others I tried don't have a conduit at all or just use the Palm as a tool to capture flights! This one does the lot allowing you to carry your entire logbook in your PDA wherever you go. It has some pretty good reporting features on the Palm side as well and can print out a handy windows report. Like mentioned by other reviewers I have found the support to be excellent too." |

| "Finally - a slick Palm logbook that syncs nicely to Windows. I can now enter my flight information in the airplane and Hotsync it to Windows when I get home. It lets you keep track of 30 in 7 and Take Off and Landing currency as well as other stuff. Great for keeping the company honest! Loads of features and great customer support. I can thoroughly recommend it for airline use. " |

| "This is an excellent program. Once you have set up your Airports, Airplanes and Crew it is quick an easy to log flights. The best part is its ability to quickly transfer either way between the Palm and Windows. (You can add flights on either side). It does all the usual stuff like curency, tracking medicals and printouts.clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design and it is just what I needed as a logbook. Well Done." |
