I understand where you are coming from, Chris.But isn't it possible to start logging by simply pressing the "Go Flying" button? That would correspond to Off Block. Tapping "Stop Flying" would be On Block again. And the take-off and landing events are detected autmatically by SD anyway.

Det‌ecting Off- and ON-Block automatically can lead to problems win some situation such as when one taxis to the fuel station.

Greetings, -- Chris.‌‌

I'm ‌stubborn, I know :-)
For the short taxi to the fuel station I don't have my iPad on... So that short phase would nod be mixed up with blocktime.

Do you press the go flying button the moment you start taxiing? I press that button when I'm preparing for the actual flight in the cockpit well before taxi. This would result in a blocktime which is too long... And my goal would be an automatic detection without any buttons to press. Because if I need to press a button i could have a quick look on my watch as well and write that time on my kneeboard...

I'm repeating myself: It is actually possible to integrate such a feature. Other apps (Jeppesen Flight Deck VFR and others) did that. But I don't want these apps anymore for several reasons and I would love to see SD getting more and more a complete solution for a VFR pilot.
Best regards
Chris
