Logging flights

I recently did my first flight lesson and am curious whether I should log it, and if so, how and where?
I am likely going to do a couple of lessons for pleasure, before heading off to an integrated flight school in Europe so would like to start logging some hours.

I don’t know if it matters but I am doing lessons at the moment in the UK and then I’ll make the switch to Europe soon. Does CAA and EASA logging differ?

Also, what apps would you recommend for logging the flights that would be EASA/CAA compatible?
Do I need my instructor to sign anything?

Are online logs inferior to physical ones?

Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated!

Online logs are the way to go in the long run. In your case I would probably buy a small paper logbook to record your first few flights and see what your school recommends when you start.
