Tracking glitch

Great app but can you please fix the tracking glitch where the little arrow allowing us to see the boats distances from each other is hidden by other writing.

No longer works

I was enjoying following the race on this app, but it no longer works: it just comes up with an error on starting, and nothing works.

Last app slightly better

Tracker and videos were more detailed.
Missing the access to more videos feeds.

Best way to stay up to date

The β€˜17-β€˜18 Volvo Ocean race is on and this app is essential for keeping up with all the action.

Not compatible with iPhone X

The top of the app gets lost in iPhone X’s notch.

Bring back the version from the last race

This app is so frustrating to use. I used to love using the tracker when following the last race and play forward and back to see how boats lost and gained. Now it is not a tracker and just shows current position as the forward & back is too sensitive and there is too much stuff crowding the screen so you can't see the boats.... I hardly have interest this race as the app is so poor...

Great content poor usability

Am I only the only one that has to turn my devices upside down to try and get the app to recognise the device's orientation? And why are some things portrait only by default (presumably related)? Super frustrating.

Otherwise it's a great way to see and feel the action. So, thank you.

Pro - massive fan!

Great, professional app - very reliable and up to date accurate information. Highly addictive!

No Landscape for iPads

If you use an iPad in landscape avoid this app. It will mess with your mind.

Wrong format.

Having watched the previous races via the website and live I find the app frustrating. It is a very variable experience. The menu seems to change almost daily. Blog in. Blog out. Loading the ranking can freeze the app without actually completing. So you still don't know who is in the lead.
Perhaps the biggest crime is that there are far less emails off the boats included than earlier internet only volvooceanrace websites. It is the voice of the crews that I most miss. That means I have to surf round to other platforms to try and find them. One hub is better than many.
