### 3/5 — Few problems

*2021-03-19, version 3.3*

Overall great game but there is no AI difficulty setting and the AI can turn so much faster then you and at the start you always lose out to them because you have the slower line.

### 1/5 — PATHETIC

*2020-12-24, version 3.3*

This game is terrible, half the time the controls don’t even work! The tutorial takes ages and the physics are rubbish!!!!!!!!
Crappy game

### 1/5 — No good

*2019-12-03*

Lets you play one game... after that you stay on the loading screen for ages. Never loads up again!!

### 2/5 — App doesn’t fit screen size

*2018-12-07, version 3.3*

This app has a lot of promise, but on the iPhoneX this app simply doesn’t fit the screen. About a third of the settings menu is cut off and the loading screen is also out of range. Not sure if it relates to the incorrect screen proportion but the controls are either to sensitive or not responsive.

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2018-03-28, version 2.5*

Does not load after the first trial on iPad.

### 1/5 — No control

*2017-09-15, version 1.4*

Can barely keep control and can't point into the wind

### 2/5 — It's free

*2017-08-21, version 1.4*

But all I can do is steer, no sail control, gave up after 30 seconds

### 2/5 — Not a bad effort but....

*2017-05-29*

Not a bad effort but the course is too tight. You can't turn around the bottom gate fast enough to avoid the land. The fastest angle downwind is dead down wind which just isn't right. Make the course longer and cornering faster.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2017-05-24, version 1.4*

I don't know much about sailing but I'm really into this at the minute. I feel like I know a lot more on how to sail now too. Looking forward to the real America's Cup!

### 1/5 — Rubbish.

*2017-05-12, version 1.4*

What an absolute rubbish game. I gave it one star as it would allow me to give none
