Because, although it sounds like an interesting tool, I'll not be taking my £1000 phone out in my Laser, RS100 or Merlin and I'll not be messing about switching the tiny, tiny SIM to an older, retired phone either, every time I want to track my sail.

Am I alone in that?

Now if this app worked off my Apple watch (which I do wear sailing) that would be another matter.

More development work needed then, methinks.

I do sometimes take my phone out with me when sailing if I am out by myself on the coast as a backup to a handheld VHF. Just stick it in a waterproof pouch, never had any issues with damage. Sailmon is only for Apple though so as a droid user its no use to me!

Doesn't RaceQs do the same thing?

If sailmon is the same as RaceQs then I will not be interested in downloading it when it is droid ready!!
