Pros and cons of Saild Sailing Log Book app for iPhone and iPad

Saild Sailing Log Book app good for

This app, while still working out some bugs, is fantastic! I love being able to start a log just before we untie the boat (trip) and stop it when Im back at the dock. I use it to track where we go and what we do while day-sailing an cruising, but I could see it being invaluable for race debriefing an seeing where improvements could be made. I love being able to write "blogs" about each trip. Years from now, Ill really enjoy going back and reading them... Or my kids will. Taking photos along the way and see where they were taken is very cool as well.
Really easy and sleek design. I use it every time I sail, I love the speed over ground so I know how fast Im going and the app tracks your ever move for you. A+

Some bad moments

Arcane, stupid registration procedure. Never did get it to work. Zero cost; zero value. Dont waste your time.
This app crashes far too often, and doesnt always upload your trips to their website. Half of my logs are missing and incomplete. Very often the app crashes when you try to review past trips. No flexibility in the app to change or edit, even things as simple as trip name. As simple as an app as this is, it doesnt work very well.
