### 2/5 — Nicht realistisch

*2022-12-02*

Entgegen der Ankündigung bei der Beschreibung der App nicht realistisch, jeder der das realistisch nennt, ist noch nie gesegelt. Steuerung, Grafik vs Geschwindigkeit des Bootes ist unwirklich. 3,49 € um weitere Boote, Regatten etc freizuschalten, mh okay. 2 Sterne keine weiter Empfehlung.

### 2/5 — Arcade

*2021-08-23*

Mit segeln hat das nicht viel zu tun. Die Steuerung und Geschwindigkeit vermitteln das Gefühl auf einem Yetski zu sitzen. 
Positiv: das Wasser sieht ganz Hübsch aus.

### 2/5 — Segelbewertung

*2020-09-20*

Es ist auf Dauer langweilig, da ich „nur“ die Lite-Version habe.
Es ist viel zu einfach, obwohl dass auch an der Tatsache liegen könnte, dass ich eine echte Seglerin bin.
Zu wenig kostenlose Bootsklassen, nur ein langweiliger Kurs, nichts für Segler.
Ich hätte noch einen Bootsklassenvorschlag, die Klasse nennt sich „Open Skiff“, und ist zur Zeit ziemlich angesagt. Aber wenn, dann bitte kostenlos!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — No controls

*2020-03-08*

Tutorial went fine, first quick race went fine but from that point on, the sheet and helm disappeared and were never to reappear. All attempts to reload, restart ended in an uncontrollable boat sailing in circles by itself. Too bad, might’ve liked this one, but deleting the app now.

### 2/5 — Not really that clever

*2019-08-19*

A decent enough of a time waster but pays absolutely no attention to basic sailing rules or physics for that matter.

### 1/5 — HOT GARBAGE!

*2018-10-20*

The physics are trash. I tried to play this game for about 5 minutes and then deleted it, then I went back to playing a much better game, Virtual Regatta. The speeds in this game are also trash. When going 4 knots in an Optimus it felt like I was going 25 knots! The previous reviewer said that you had to pay $2.99 to play but I didn’t even get that far into the game. So just get Virtual Regatta. It is actually free.

### 2/5 — Ridicule

*2018-08-07*

Aucun intérêt la modélisation des bateau est mauvaise la mécanique météo est simpliste

### 2/5 — Not free

*2016-08-23*

You have to pay 2.99 to play

### 5/5 — Super schönes Spiel

*2016-02-10*

Mal fühlt sich wie auf einen Regatta mit Freunden. Perfekt für zwischendurch.

### 1/5 — Funkt nicht

*2016-01-01*

Stuerzt einfach ab
