CWind - great game
Very nice racing sim - probably the best out there. Very addicting sim. Definitely worth the price. Wish you could do more match racing. Would like to see more choices in racing modes - match racing and windward/leeward course. Also get rid of the currents, as this just slows down the race.Sailor8us
Great app and support
An excellent app to help tune your skills when you can't be on the water. The multiplayer function is great for bragging rights amongst your family and friends. I was having a problem with the app when I first got it and emailed the support team. They responded right away with some suggestions and then kept me informed about the progress they were making to fix it. Less than two weeks later they emailed me again telling me to keep an eye out for the update and sure enough, no more problems.Show lessHoneyBeebeChild
Not to bad a simulator
Not a bad sim. The only improvements I would make are a little better wind indicators and the ability to pan out to view the other boats and quickly drop back onto the behind boats look. Also I would like to see more boats and more short courses. The fun is always at the markers.ATIS NFO
A lot of fun
Enjoyed it a lot. Good graphics and pretty realistic.snelson2
Sail trim
With the new update the sails look trimmed out too far sailing upwind. Just a visual thing as far as I can tell, but it doesn't look right.Sailorgiff
Good sailing simulator
The simulator is very good, my only compliant are the sudden changes is the right/burdened yacht conflict and the difficultly sailing downwind with massive changes in apparent wind with gross trim requirement.Spoilsport 1132
I have been looking for a good sailing game
I think I have found it. Learning a lot that can translate to the beer cans this summer. I just have to learn not to panic. But I have enjoyed just driving my boat into the competition and creating mayhem and millions of dollars worth of damage.ProfQ1955
Needs (to rotate 180) needs shading, lighting improved graphics.
GREAT sim, graphics could be better (smoother edges, water improved) etc. But main annoyance is the screen won't rotate. My ipads are always in a case with keyboard. This means that they are always oriented with the home button on the right. (it's the only way they fit in the case). so unless I remove it from case and keyboard I can't play the sim. Not practical to hold the ipad, case and keyboard upside down to play. Also check out the water graphics in "top sailor". Your sim now works well, but time to improve the 80's level graphics. Needs shading, lighting and transparency.Show lessRojoyinc
Has some real problems, hope they fix them.
If you are racing friends in beginner mode it works good, but if you are in solo mode in the two advanced levels forget it, you will just get mad.
The bad: Going downwind, the wind direction changes wildly every time you trim in, so that you can not get any speed. Unfortunately, your the only one this happens to and not the whole fleet. When rounding marks expect anyone on a port tack to hit you, they do not try to avoid you as in a real race, and when that happens you will loose. When you get hit by the AI sailboats they can do a 720 before you go 20 feet. If you do the fouling by the time you finish your 720 the entire fleet is almost to the next mark. This is where the model falls apart. It's not the same for both you and the AI's, if it was it would be a really great program.
The good: The for new racers is seeing who has right of way, 2 changes that would make it much better would be to post that info at the top or bottom of the screen in green or red text so that you would know instantly what action to take, and being able to review each encounter after the race. The start process, is what you would expect in a real race.
I hope the developer will be able to fix the issues above and the short comings how you see right of way, as this app has the opportunity to be something really great. I could see us at the yacht club racing on our iPads in the off season with this app.Show lessSadly Disillusioned
If you sail, a great game
I'm seriously impressed. This is exactly what I've wanted in an iOS sailing game/simulation. I could see how it would be hard for someone who has never sailed before to pick this game up, but then again, I could see this being a great tool for learning points of sail and tacticionship (yes, I made that word up). For a seasoned sailor this is great way to combat those sailing urges when you can't get on the water.
Gave 5 stars because it was everything I wanted in a racing simulator. But, I would like to see improvements in graphics and environment interaction (such as darker water for wind puffs) in later updates. Overall not perfect but very very good...
Much more enjoyable on my iPad3 then iPhone5
Thanks developer for hours of enjoyment!Show lessWillincali
