There are a number of options to log your data to suit every taste. In general the feedback is that dedicated apps offer more efficient and easier data entry than non-dedicated databases, but these incur a fee. Non dedicated apps may be free but are more clunky. A word of warning, when picking a logbook remember that your data will most likely follow you throughout your career as an anaesthetist. Therefore pick an app that allows you to export your data in a usable format (ie a file that can be read on Microsoft excel like a CSV file not something like a backup or sqlite file). This unfortunately happened with iGaslog users and many people lost all their data, so be careful.
* The developers will charge a fee when all planned features are in place.
Designed by a trainee. A quick and simple logbook. Easy data entry and compliant RCoA reports. Enhanced regional, PHEM and critical care sections.

Web based logbook with apps for iPhone, android and windows phones. Requires internet connection to use. Has specialist sections for obstetrics, critical care and pain. A bit a bit fiddly to use. Reliable and users happy.
iTunes rating (05/15) 2/5
Designed by a trainee, requires iPhone iOS 8 and above. Mixed reviews on release. Updates appear to have fixed glitches. Data entry requires more button presses than other apps but is customizable and has a report feature. No useful export feature to date. Backups over home wifi network.
iTunes rating (05/15) 3/5
Designed 20 years ago and updated intermittently, it has stood the test of time. Uses filemaker as a database backend, which you need to download and is free. Not the simplest data entry. Can be time consuming. Does the job and produces reports. Feels dated.

The original iphone logbook app. Unfortunately it was no longer supported by iOS 8 which left a lot of people out of joint. This is because they had not backed up their data, and if they did it was not available in a usable format. Medberry (www.medberry.co.uk) are currently offering a conversion service.
A universal logbook, not just for anaesthesia. Customisable. Enhanced logbook summaries. iCloud enabled so backups over home wifi network. Plugins available for anaesthesia and fully editable in app. Will import iGaslog csv files. Free Macintosh & PC desktop versions now available.

An easy to use paid application that allows for export to CSV and also generates customisable reports quickly. No auto backup but prompts you to save and can sync to email, Dropbox, and SD card. Price increase recently. Great reviews on the google store.
Google store rating 4.2/5
A free to use anaesthetic logbook that requires download of memento database to use. Good interface and allows for export of CSV files. Online back up with the press of a button. Password protection and syncing to Google sheets nice additional features.
A database app for most platforms. You can design your own logbook on it. Therefore very customizable. Reports are limited.
