Mine saves to a sd card,you can send data to a email address to print and also hoping to back up to a central server via email,not sure how that bit works yet though.

Hey window washer, we have all the server side sorted and webapp but if you're interested in using roundpartner api sure we could work something out

The problem with a server based thing is that you'll need mobile data signal to use it...which is rather patchy in some areas. Better to have the data stored on the device with an option to "sync" it with the cloud or your laptop when you get home
TBH who cares about android? Nothing works properly on Android in my experience of 2 years, its a rubbish platform. If you don't use iPhone then you deserve to suffer IMO!

Yes you're probably right!
Seriously though, i started using Android about 2 years ago with a really good HTC that cost £380. At first it was great, everything seemed to work fine. Installed a few apps (whatsapp is my favourite) played angry birds, got more apps etc etc. all was fine for about 7 months.
Then came the updates. It seemed that every other week Google was automatically updating android for this and for that, just like the way Windows does on your PC. Apart from being highly annoying, it meant that some of the apps I'd installed (and paid for) suddenly stopped working because they werent compatible with the updated os.
So I put up with that and yet more updates and gradually the buggy nature of android just slowed the phone down. Click on an icon and it would sometimes take 5 or 6 seconds just to recognise the input. Apps themselves slowed down. Everything got slow. So I deleted and uninstalled everything that wasn't absolutely necessary. That helped for a month or so, even though I no longer had the apps that I bought the phone for in the first place, which was annoying. Then it slowed down again.
Eventually it couldn't even make a call or send a text message without crashing or hanging.
"Maybe it was just my phone" you're thinking... nope. My wife got her own android HTC (a different model) about a year after me and exactly the same thing happened.
It is exactly like windows for the PC, its buggy, gets contsant updates which cause other things not to work, vulnerable to viruses, apps that have no quality control so sometimes work ok and other times break your phone. I came to android with an open mind, and yes if everything works ok it can be good, but my conclusion is that it's just not very good, and things don't work very well for very long.
So about a month ago we both decided enough was enough and we weren't going to mess about with rubbish anymore. We binned our HTC's and got iPhones instead (I got the 5s, she got the 4s). Already I'm finding the experience similar to when I binned my windows PC after decades of using it and got a MacBook pro. Now I will never ever ever ever have a windows pc again.
Same with my iphone. Everything works perfectly, smoothly, seamlessly. Things that were very flaky on android (like video calling) work beautifully on the iphone even when not connected to wifi. And even the iphone 4s, that's 2 years old now is still vastly better than any android i've used. Both running iOS 7 and working perfectly.
The trade off is that you can customise absolutely everything on android, whereas you can't with iPhone. For me that's a very small price to pay for a stable os that just works the way it's supposed to and doesn't keep downloading weekly updates that break everything.
I'm sure a lot is down to personal opinion, and if you love android and don't have any problems then good for you. For me though, I don't think I'll be going back to android anytime soon. I've become what I used to hate- an apple snob. But not because of clever marketing or blind fanboyism, but purely because the products are better quality and work better, its that simple.
