[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 508501, member: 22613"] I'd be surprised if Hung-lo & Co in China will support that app in 5-10 years. You'd be lucky if they're even in business under the same name. I will admit that I can't stand most mobile apps and hate how everyone has gone to them. Can't even order a burger half the time without the app freezing. Vesselview gave me constant connection issues. Activecaptain would never update my graphs successfully for whatever reason. And the list goes on... My fear would be that once I really need the thing, I'll go to use it and the app will be out of date, not compatible with my current device, the moon will be in the wrong phase, or it doesn't even exist anymore, and what should've been a 5 minute job turns into an hour of dicking around with my phone trying to find an app that works. Did I mention I hate mobile apps? I have one of the aforementioned devices, I use it so infrequently that I've usually upgraded or reset my phone between uses and need to reinstall the app. Which hasn't been a problem yet, but I'm sure that day will come.
