My biggest complaint with APDL is the lack of updates. The schedule importer for my airline does not import hotel or crew data, even though it's on the pairing. Also, the recent version upgrade did nothing but change the "about" page to reflect the new owners as far as I'm concerned. It even still has the same spelling errors in setup screen. This would have been a 5 minute fix, but I guess they're too busy to fix it. That being said, it's a good program, but it could be a great program with a few tweaks here and there.
Have you downloaded the patches to correct the hotel or crew data problem? Patches are available on the site. Just download them and it will bring the data in. If it doesn't work, get on the tech support board and let Paul (the designer of the program) or one of the other guys know. They are good about helping people get their problems fixed. Are you using Palm OS or Pocket PC? What he will probably have you do is email him a copy of your company's trip format and change the importer so that it will recognize it, if the patch doesn't solve your problem.
Also, on the boards is an area where you can make suggestions for future versions, point out problems your having, and point out errors you've found. It is a good resource if you've got questions or are having a problem.
One downside to the new owners is I don't think they are offering the 2 year free upgrades that Paul did. I could be wrong about this though. When I asked the new owner about this I seem to remember being told "no".
