OK -needs feature to download screenshots easily

Software connects nicely to my HDS gen 2 Touch/iPhone 7+. Remote control works fine. I’d like to see a feature where I can download screenshots to the photos app on my phone. Seems like that would be high on the feature list. Hope they add it in a future update. Want to save/send screenshots easily in real time rather than downloading from my memory card once I’m home. This sort of feature is what the WiFi should do for me. Make my life easier.

Works now on iPhone

I downloaded this vaguely-named app to my iPhone 6S, linked to my new Vulcan 9 chart plotter, and it works as advertised, even controlling the chart plotter from the phone, which is the only enhancement over GoFree that I have found. Be aware that the small screen of a phone makes text and finger targets rather small, and the image is grainy, being just a repeat of the low resolution of the Vulcan. Usability on a tablet is much better.

Hard to connect

Took over an hour to connect a phone to the graph. However once we got one connected the second one was easy. Now we have multiple phones hooked up at the same time. And everything works great. Please make it easyer to hook devices up to a graph.
