Comments about SailFreeGPS Android Version

Totally agree with Erik Stielow - lots of nice features but it needs a start/stop button. Been suggesting that for months and get nothing but pushback from the developer. Still no start/stop sail button. The most logical thing this app could have and it doesn't have it. Today I went for sail, opened the app, sailed around for a couple hours & closed the app. Nothing is saved - trip is gone. It didn't even tell me that it wasn't going to save it. Lame.
An excellent app which I use almost every time I go sailing, and will be especially useful now that I am racing. Fred has done an excellent job loading this app up with features without making it so bloated that it's hard to use. He also is very responsive if you're having any problems with it, so before leaving a bad review, email Fred. He'll be happy to help!
Makes no sense to me. Unusable. This app seems to have a lot of features and might work great for some people but the UX is totally beyond me. I go to Routes. It says "no route selected". But there's no way to add a route. I'm racing offshore courses with a preset route that I'd like the app to load after the 5 min start sequence. It can't seem to do that. In back to using SailDroid and entering the waypoints manually each time I arrive at one.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the SailFreeGPS I downloaded is an XAPK file?

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation.
