Syncing Your Logbook

Wader backs up your flights to the cloud automatically, so your logbook is safe and the same on every device you sign in to: your phone, your tablet and the web.

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:

Icon	Meaning
Teal cloud icon	Flight synced to the cloud
Red cloud icon	Sync pending: the flight uploads when a connection is available

Forcing a Manual Sync

To sync straight away instead of waiting for Wader, you have two options:

Option 1: the Sync button

Tap Sync (the circular arrows) at the top right of the Logbook tab. This syncs your whole logbook.

Option 2: pull to refresh

Pull down on the flight list and release. This does the same full sync as the Sync button.

First-Time Sync on a New Device

If you reinstall Wader or sign in on a new device, Wader downloads your complete logbook from the cloud. With a large logbook, this first sync can take a little while.

A progress message shows while the download runs. You can start using the app, but your full flight history may not appear until the sync is complete.

Tips

Tip: If flights on a second device look out of date, tap Sync or pull to refresh on the Logbook tab. This is the fastest way to bring in changes made on another device. Still missing flights? See Finding Missing Flights.

Tip: If you often fly where the connection is poor, sync before you go offline so that edits from your other devices are on this one first.
