Your Emirates roster, on your phone or tablet
Set it up once. After that, two taps.
The one-time setup cannot be done on a phone or tablet — neither will let you create this kind of bookmark. Do these four steps in Edge on a Mac or PC. Your phone or tablet takes over at the end.
On your computer, open starlogbook.com/airline/emirates
1 Which computer are you on?
2 Which device should fetch your roster?
Not sure? Start with My phone fetches it — you only need the computer once.
Set up once — about five minutes
Make the Starlog bookmark in Edge on a computer. It flies to your device by itself.
-
Turn on favourites sync
In Edge: ··· → Settings → Profiles → Sync → Favourites on. Do this on the computer and on your phone or tablet, signed in to the same account.
Use your private Microsoft account. It only carries the bookmark between your own devices — nothing to do with your crew-portal login.
-
Show the favourites bar
Press ⌘⇧BCtrlShiftB — that is the whole step.
Prefer menus? ··· → Settings → Appearance → Show favourites bar → Always.
-
Drag Starlog onto the bar
Drag the gold button — do not click it.
orThen ··· → Favourites → Add favourite, name it Starlog, paste into URL.
-
On your phone
Starlog → Sync roster → Favourites → Starlog. That is the last step.
Everything after the tap is automatic: a bar across the top of the page fills as it counts the months, then your layover station pages, then Starlog reopens and imports it. Nothing else to press.
No Starlog in your phone’s favourites? Sync has not landed yet — check step 1 on both devices.
-
From now on
Setup is done. Getting your roster is two taps, any time, anywhere.
No computer, no bookmark to make again. Change the month under History import and copy the favourite once more if you want a different reach.
Why does it have to be Edge?
Emirates decides which apps are allowed to open your roster on a phone. Edge is on that list. Safari is not — try it there and the portal sends you to a page telling you to use Edge.
Starlog is not on the list either, and we will not pretend to be another app to get around it. So Edge reads your roster, and hands it to Starlog.
On a computer there is no such restriction — which is why the other route, , needs none of this.
The other route — pick one
Let your computer fetch it
Install an extension in Edge on your computer. Open your roster there and it sends itself to your phone.
Choose this if you want it automatic, or need more history than one bookmark run carries.
Your computer has no restriction. This extension reads your roster from the crew portal and sends it to your phone, sealed — only your phone can open it.
What it gets you
- Your roster with actual block times, aircraft registrations and crew — everything the portal knows.
- History back as far as the portal serves it, in one go.
- Nothing to type: open the roster, it is sent; Starlog imports it the next time it comes to the front.
Install
-
Download it
Download the extension and unzip it.
An Edge Add-ons listing is on the way; for now it installs by hand.
-
Open your extensions
In the menu bar: Edge → Microsoft Edge Extensions.
In Edge: ··· → Extensions → Manage extensions.
-
Load the folder
Developer mode on, bottom left. Then Load Unpacked, top right, and pick the unzipped folder.
Replacing an older copy? Remove it first — the version is shown at the bottom of the Starlog popup.
-
Pair it with your phone
Click the Starlog icon → Show pairing code. On the phone open the Camera, point it at the code, tap Open in Starlog → Pair.
Then just open your roster. It is sent every time the page loads; History from in the popup fetches earlier months.
What it never sees
Your Emirates password, and your Microsoft sign-in. It reads only what the roster page already shows you, in your own browser.
Unpairing
In Starlog: More → Emirates sync → Unpair this computer. In the extension: Forget this pairing.
