Limited in scope and repetitive.
Just like the title says. Could be updated with better experiences .
Fun and informative
ASA has done a good job putting sailing in to an app. Which is how so many people explore their world these days. As I teach people to sail, Iโm interested to see if this is helpful for my students. Would love to see them expand the app to include racing and more advanced techniques! The apparent wind lesson could be improved.

Solid practice tool
Must download if youโre abeginner or even a skipper who want to brush up on skills
Best app I have ever used
This app makes me whole. Iโve never been more satisfied. But dolphin functionality is limited. I also wish there was an option for a 70 ft sailboat and stormy weather. A giant evil whale could be a good addition.
Trimming Task 2 is Impossible
Overall the app can be very helpful to learn points of sail and to start to recognize the ripple of a mainsail and when to trim. The open water maps are sadly quite limited. The British Virgian Islands Tour approaches what my expectations were going in. Even after buying the expansions, I have felt like there is something missing.
Great game and learning tool! Just please ease up the sensitivity on the second Trimming task (100% under 2 minutes). Also, any additional features or maps would be greatly appreciated, as I have seen no visible change in the app for as long as I have owned it. ๐

To limited and some controls overly sensitive
The game is sadly far too limited, especially with an up front cost. Open sailing is particularly disappointing and limited. The sail trim practice is overly sensitive, requiring exact position of the slider without corresponding visual feedback other than speed. Thereโs not much to learn here because you canโt really tell the sail trim position, especially the differences between similar points of sail.
More functionality and better feedback within some of the modules is needed.

Excellent learning/review tool for sailing
The physics of sailing are well represented in this app. Basic concepts are presented simply. Practice is realistically modeled. Highly recommended! Could have more practice scenarios.
Great for learning
Great for reviewing before you go out on the water especially for thinking of scenarios. Always best to be on the water but this is great review.
Asa sailing for kids and teens to learn how to get better at sailing
Very good
Underwhelming
I was very excited to try this app. . . Unfortunately I had to pay for it and then pay for a boat upgrade and then pay for weather.
Unbelievably boring game that you will master in no time. Waste of money!

No bueno
Save your money practically paying for a demo even if the whole app was open would be disappointing even still though they want you to pay 2$usd per variable boat wind joke
A useful app to help visualize basics
This app is very useful to help visualize sailing concepts that can seem less straightforward in books. It simplifies, and clarifies the learning experience!
So cool
Awesome
So-so
Iโm not an experienced sailor, but while this was kind of useful for learning points of sail, a little bit of terminology, and very basic sailing concepts after a few hours at best you will have exhausted it. For 3.99 and in-app purchases to get variable winds or different boats itโs not worth it in my opinion. Save your money to buy a much more realistic sim like eSail if you are really interested in learning solid foundation stuff before you get out on the water or take courses to get a rating enabling you to charter boats.

Simple and Effective
About as educational as a phone-based tutorial can get. Maybe some improvements could be made with the interface to make it a little more realistic. Still, not a bad app for the price.
Ben
Really nice app. Just one comment: the apparent wind direction should change as a boat moves from slow to fast and additional trimming is needed. The app doesnโt seem to simulate that.
Nice but buggy
Some early challenges don't work. Supposed to click on various parts of the screen to answer questions but the app isn't responding. Must be a bug. Please fix!
Amazing
An incredible app. It is so useful and such a fun way to learn and practice. Get it.
All about money
Iโve had this app a while and over time they keep putting more and more restrictions on it to where it is pointless to have without having to not only purchase the app but purchase all the in-app purchases. Basically you are limited to one boat and 1mph sailing speed until you spend more moneyโฆafter just purchasing the app. Why not just charge more for the app and include it all. Plan on spending more than the app to make it useful.

So good!
I am learning so much from this app it is not laggy at all I definitely recommend
