Actually, I'm perfectly happy with your comment. We get a comment like this every few month. And I tell every single person the same thing - please use a different dive log.

Remember, you are not a customer. You are a user of an open source project.
Please allow the developers to decide what they are spending their time on. None of us have so far shown any interest in creating an import function on mobile devices. Entitled people lecturing us what we have to do is not going to increase the likelihood of that happening.

There is no company. I don't care how you want to keep your data. I personally make a free cloud service available for users who want to use it - and those who don't, I'm perfectly happy to see use a different dive log app.
So please don't "educate" me what I have to do for you in my free time.

Well, if it's so easy, why don't you do it? I mean, it's open source, simply add the function and enjoy.
