Hi,
This looks interesting - maybe.

SeeYou Recorder is free logging software for iPhone and Android devices.
Naviter recently added the ability for SeeYou Recorder to use the
LiveTrack24 service for life tracking of the flight. LiveTrack24 service is
available for a few dollars a month.

One big question is how high you can go before your cell phone loses
reception and the live tracking stops. I wonder whether the service is
useful for soaring. Does this type of thing have potential to replace the
tracking features of SPOT and DeLorme inReach units? It certainly can't
replace the emergency remote communication capabilities offered by those
devices.
In the past I tried a free gliding tracking app for iPhone. I don't
remember the name of it. I didn't test it in flight but it worked fine on
the ground. It didn't offer the cool 3D tracking that LiveTrack24 offers.
It would be cool if a low cost service and free app made it easy for our
friends to follow us live with 3D views on a PC or Mac. SPOT and InReach
can't do that.
Information on the free SeeYou Recorder app is available he

In not ready to sign-up for the service yet. Does anyone else want to give
it a try and report back here? Or is there no potential due to limited
coverage at altitude?
Best Regards,
Paul Remde
