FAQ
What are the system requirements for the Mac apps?
PhoneLog and PhoneLog Pro have been tested and work fine on 10.14 (Mojave), 10.15 (Catalina), 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma) and 15 (Sequoia). The latest version of the apps cannot be used with macOS versions earlier than this.
What are the system requirements for the iPhone & iPad app?
PhoneLog for iPhone & iPad has been tested and works fine with iOS 12 through to iOS 18. The latest version of the app cannot be installed on a version earlier than this.
Are there known bugs or limitations when using PhoneLog with Apple's latest software versions?
Sometimes Apple changes which features are available to third party apps or how those features need to be implemented. This can affect the behaviour of PhoneLog.
1) macOS 10.15 (Catalina) through to macOS 15 (Sequoia):
When searching using spotlight the correct call log is opened, but the search does not continue automatically to find the relevant calls. Please retype the search term into the search bar within the app.
We are currently investigating ways around the above issue(s). If solutions are found we will release new versions of the apps.
Are iCloud syncing or iCloud Drive supported?
No. In order to sync a call log between computers or devices, PhoneLog Pro has an in-built syncing mechanism based on Dropbox or a shared drive (please see the help files above). Alternatively you can purchase a subscription to our new 'Sync Server' and sync your call log between devices more quickly using that service.
iCloud is not supported for any PhoneLog app and it is recommended that you do not store your call log on your iCloud Drive as opening it on two different Macs or devices at the same time can cause irreparable data loss or corruption. If iCloud syncing is a requirement, then please let us know at the contact email addesss below.
Is it possible to use both PhoneLog and PhoneLog Pro at the same time?
Yes, but this probably isn't very useful. It is expected that after you upgrade you will probably want to uninstall PhoneLog. All the features in PhoneLog are also available in the Pro version.
How do I share a call log with someone else who only has PhoneLog, not PhoneLog Pro?
You can use the Export feature in the File menu of PhoneLog Pro to export the file as a PhoneLog XML file. Please see the PhoneLog Pro help file above for more details on compatibility.
What are the plans for future releases?
Various enhancements are planned for PhoneLog Pro and PhoneLog for iPhone & iPad and we are always open to feature suggestions. Please let us know by using the email link below.
