Syncing Your Logbook
Keep your logbook in sync across all your devices.
Wader automatically backs up your flights to the cloud so your logbook is safe and consistent across all your devices — your phone, tablet, or any other device you sign into.
How Automatic Sync Works
Every time you save or edit a flight, Wader attempts to sync that change to the cloud immediately. No manual action is required.
If your device is offline at the time of saving, the flight is stored locally and will sync automatically the next time an internet connection is available.
Sync Status Icons
Every flight card in the Logbook displays a small cloud icon showing whether that flight has been synced:
Green cloud icon
Flight synced successfully to the cloud
Red cloud icon
Sync pending — the flight will upload when a connection is available
A pending sync icon does not mean anything is wrong. It simply means the device was offline when the flight was last saved or edited. Sync will happen automatically once you're back online.
Forcing a Manual Sync
If you want to trigger a sync immediately rather than waiting for Wader to do it automatically, you have two options:
Option 1 — Sync Button
Tap the sync button (the circular arrow icon) in the top-right corner of the Logbook screen. This triggers a full sync of your entire logbook.
Option 2 — Pull to Refresh
Pull down on the flight list with your finger and release. This performs the same full sync as tapping the sync button. Use whichever feels more natural.
First-Time Sync on a New Device
If you reinstall Wader or sign in on a new device, Wader needs to download your complete logbook from the cloud. Depending on the size of your logbook, this initial sync may take a little while.
A progress message will appear on screen while the download is in progress. You can start browsing the app, but your full flight history may not appear until the sync is complete.
Your data is always safe in the cloud. Even if you switch devices or reinstall the app, every flight you've ever logged will be restored once the sync completes.
Tips
Tip: If flights on a secondary device appear out of date or are missing recent entries, tap the sync button or pull to refresh in the Logbook screen to force an update. This is the fastest way to pull in changes made on another device.
Tip: If you frequently fly in areas with poor connectivity, make sure you sync before going offline so that any edits from other devices are pulled in before you lose your connection.
