Default GlideTrack App - Valid OLC File?

I've read the information on the Glideport.aero web site, and the SSA magazine August 2014 article on the GlideTrack phone app. One thing I didn't see was whether the flight log sent to the GlidePort.aero website can be downloaded as a IGC file that is valid for use with OLC (either as Green or Blue level of OLC "IGC-file" status). I'm still waiting for the Android version of the app to be available, so can't test it yet myself.

I'm assuming the GlideTrack-generated data is not yet an approved OLC source, but has anyone tried this, or read any documentation about it?

FYI GlideTrack current does have a test android version of the app. see http://glideport.aero/blog. I believe this is the iPhone app recompiled for Android.

To my knowledge, these IGC files do NOT have the GRecords needed for them to be valided by OLC.

I'm working on a new android specific app that, I hope, will do a better job. Send me a private email if you are interesting in helping me test this app.
