Terryg pointed out that the ThrustCurve.org Motor Guide wasn't usable on a phone, and I agree that having an app front end to it would be really nice.
It would be reasonable to leave the logic on the server (with the motor data), but have an app cache the results locally so that you could have each rocket with a list of good motors available at the launch site even without Internet access. Of course, you could also enter rockets on the phone and find motors for them if you had Internet access.
So I mocked up a simple 6-page app. I've never built a phone app before, so I'm happy for any comments on usability and organization. Note that the style is iOS, but I would use PhoneGap or something to support all platforms.
