PatriciaMB, Welcome to TFL!
I'm not sure that I would use my cell phone for logging my firearms.... I think there may be too many opportunities for the data to get lost if I lost my phone, or the rare instance that someone may access that info from the network..
As others have mentioned, the BTAF log books are Excellent, but I just use two of those black and white marbled journals. I log it as follows...
Date Purchased..Manuf..Model..Caliber..Serial..Notes..Date Sold..To Whom
9/2/10..Ruger..MkII..(.22LR)..D1XXX..Used/good cond...9/4/10..John Smith DL#GFxxxxx.
One of those journals remains in my gun safe while the other remains in my personal/documents safe. Both safes are as secured in place as possible.
If you are involved in high volume exchange, you may want to start a spreadsheet on a computer that is not typically connected to the internet?
At any rate, welcome to TFL and I hope you enjoy your time around here. We are lucky to have a lot of very knowledgeable people around here.
