It just freezes connecting to iTunes. Useless. And the above has been her for months, to no avail, and it's not been fixed. So don't bother.... ### 2/5 — Carino, ma.... *2014-05-31, version 1.1* Peccato che puoi usare solo 2 barche, dopo un po' ti stanchi... ### 2/5 — Gratis fino ad un certo punto *2014-03-06, version 1.1* Ti fa utilizzare solo 2 barche: classe star e dinghy. È carino ma se vuoi migliorare devi pagare e quindi dopo un po' ti scoccia perché è troppo facile vincere ### 2/5 — Ganz nett *2013-08-12, version 1.1* Nett gemachter Segelsimulator, leider etwas zu Userfreundlich. Schotführung m.E. tendenziell zu offen und vor allem ohne KVR! Dadurch kommt nicht wirklich Regattafeeling auf, da man vollkommen untaktisch Segeln kann/muss. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Amusant 5 minutes *2018-02-02, version 1.22* après, on s’ennuie vite car il y a un seul parcours. NUL !!! A EVITER ABSOLUMENT ### 1/5 — Mediocre to irritating. *2016-05-05, version 1.22* This game is mediocre at best. Played over a dozen times with different boats and the steering is so annoying and sometime completely unresponsive it just isn't worth the effort. Too bad. Could have been fun. ### 1/5 — Molto scadente *2014-06-19, version 1.1* Non simula affatto veleggiare direi piuttosto che similia quel giuoco con le bigliette dove inclinando il piano si deve riuscire a metterle nei buchini, la differenza è che qui c'è lo sfondo marineggiante! Quindi io manco mi sogno di comprare la versione pro. Saluti ### 1/5 — Instabil *2013-08-25, version 1.1* App stürzt sehr oft kurz nach dem Starten ab. ### 1/5 — Dizzy from no screen rotate lock option, etc *2013-08-24, version 1.1* Just when you are getting up to speed, the screen rotates. In sailing this means a capsize, but you can see your little boat is still upright and moving. Manual control is terrible, I'm finishing 2/3 longer than those on mindless auto control. For sailors stuck on land, do not waste your time on this app. Trying to trim your sails according to the wind direction arrow Is visual overload when you know you normally use your body and senses to sail properly. Leave your iPad behind, go sail with real wind on your skin while trimming your sails racing with the fleet. This app is not a substitute for sailing and will confuse beginner sailors. ### 1/5 — MR. *2013-07-16, version 1.1* I cannot for the life of me figure out how to control the sailboat. in the very short tutorial they show a sheet on the screen left and a wheel on screen bottom right. but no matter how much I touch or sceoll on the screen nothing happens. There is no help other than the tutorial. I will obviously not be buying any of their upgrades or other products. ### 1/5 — Inutile *2013-04-28, version 1.1* Ok che è gratis, ma non è possibile virare.... Quindi assolutamente inutile! Che peccato! ### 1/5 — Inutilizzabile *2013-04-28, version 1.1* Piena di bugs..... addirittura non è possibile virare perché manca il timone!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Lite is very lite! *2013-02-15, version 1.1* Basically a very limited demo. All that is available is quick race, and a promise of unlocking cat and other boats after "3 cups". All that is there is one course, I easily beat four times and did not unlock anything. In app purchases are a bummer that's why I lock it in settings so not to buy a course or boat unintentionally. $4.99 marked down! Hello, this trick marketing just angers users and gives you a bad rating when the description does not match! Top Sailor is ten times better and more options and variables with no "sorry, want to buy that?" Anywhere. Delete... Too bad, looked good till $$$ ### 2/5 — Needs to use sailing rules *2020-03-28, version 1.22* There is no application of the rules of sailing. Boats on port tack don’t give way to starboard tackers and don’t have to do penalty turns. Boats with inside overlap at marks get run over by boats outside with no penalty. A boat to leeward and ahead should cast a wind shadow over the boat behind and to weather but that doesn’t happen. Also need an overview so you know where other boats are so you can plan strategy. So bit of work to be done the make this better. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — To good *2021-04-11* It is sooooooo good I can’t find a mistake ### 5/5 — Add Olympic course update *2015-12-06, version 1.1* This game is amazing but as I am a sailer I am used to the Olympic course and thought it would be great to include it in the next update. Other than that AMAZING! ### 5/5 — Awesome but *2015-08-12, version 1.1* Please add first person view ### 5/5 — Sailing out of season *2014-12-29, version 1.1* Nice game to practice tactics, work the changing winds and get to do a bit of sailing in a Canadian winter. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the cheating by the other boats. they will go around markers the wrong way, run into you and don't give right of way without being penalized. You can do the same without being penalized, but cheating is no fun and in real life it works a bit different... Good entertainment, though! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-07-05, version 1.1* This game is awesome. But in a new update there has to be a fix. The way you have to move the sail to get max power is not realistic. But it's still awesome ### 4/5 — Carino *2014-09-29, version 1.1* Carino, capito come funziona è divertente....... ### 3/5 — Much too fast *2016-10-03, version 1.22* It looks like a good game but the developers need to slow it down to about a tenth of its current speed before I'll consider buying the full version. At the moment it's like speedboat racing in a sail boat which immediately destroys any sense of realism. ### 3/5 — Non saprei... *2013-10-20, version 1.1* Carino ma non è un gran che Tre stelle ### 3/5 — Non si sentono i suoni *2013-04-16, version 1.1* Non sarebbe bruttissimo ma,almeno a me non si sentono i suoni e la musica,grafica accettabile!! Simulazione non proprio realistica. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
