Packed with full screen ads for cheap date/chat apps and lousy games, buggy app behavior too. So disappointing that ASA would put their name in this. Very few actual opportunities posted - none within a hundred miles (and I literally live within sight of the ocean). Sorry I signed up. ### 2/5 — Reinforcing sexism *2023-03-12* I’m a married woman in my 40’s and I don’t need ads about hot single women every two seconds. I get that sailing is male-dominated, but give me a break ### 1/5 — Save yourself the aggravation: PASS on this one! *2020-03-04* I thought this would be a useful fun app; what a waste of time! I have a long repetitive list of sailing happening from Texas to San Fran... I live in Annapolis! My sailing club is not available to select; it’s only been in existence since 1940, so perhaps in the next update...! Invited to edit my profile, nothing saves! All very frustrating!! Great idea - perhaps turn this over to the pro’s to develop... ### 2/5 — Confusing, buggy *2019-12-22* This app might be rated merely “poorly designed,” but it is hard to see the design outlines owing to the bugs. For example, after entering my personal info and bio, I start exploring the app, add a trip. When I recheck my personal info view, I find that everything but my name has been lost. I try it again, it seems fine (personal info is retained after switching focus), but after 10 minutes same error—personal info has now vanished. Meanwhile, after specifying my trip I’d expect it to appear in the home page’s list of trips. It doesn’t, leading me to wonder if it is showing up anywhere. ### 1/5 — Discouraging *2019-07-21* Logged in using Facebook and I ended up with profile information of an individual (I’d never heard of) that I couldn’t update. Every time I’d try to update something the app kept giving me error messages. I think it’ll be a long time before I give this another shot. Deleted the app and disconnected it from my FB account. **Developer response:** We apologize that you experienced an issue with the app. Can you please contact support@gosailingapp.com so that we can discuss the issue you experienced in more detail? ### 2/5 — Can’t Edit Profile *2019-07-07* Without being able to enter and SAVE profile info, how is someone to accept you aboard?? I’ve tried, ad nauseam (and angry frustration); no help. No response or acknowledgement of question to support, thus far. **Developer response:** We are looking into this issue and hope to have a resolution soon. ### 1/5 — Nice idea, terrible implementation *2018-11-12* Can’t get off of ground zero with this app, as it loses my profile information, every time I attempt to enter it. There is no Save button - only a Done button which doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Bogus *2018-02-11* The vast majority of users are charter companies looking for customers ### 2/5 — Filters! *2017-02-01, version 3.1* The app seems to have potential, but it needs filters. The map feature is nice, but is insufficient. I agree, there are a lot of class listings. ### 3/5 — Mostly sailing Schools or Charter companies *2017-01-30, version 3.1* Not a lot of just sailing opportunities. Just another way for businesses to advertise. ### 2/5 — At least it's FREE! *2016-08-20, version 2.1* It's a rather simple app, not much there. It has potential though... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads cause this to be virtually unusable *2025-08-18* The pop up ads force you to exit the app to get back to content. It makes this app almost unusable. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-07-30* I think this app is intended for the sort of people who take cruises on carnival. Obnoxious ads that automatically send you to the App Store and then stop the application from working entirely. One must close the app and restart. If you read this review, and happen to be the individual charged with approving it, please pause to consider the detrimental effect this has on our opinion of your organization. ### 1/5 — New user registration does not work *2023-12-22* Now user sign in does not work at all, application drops SQL error wrong data format. ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2023-11-29* Not able to register for a new account, tried all of the 3 methods, tried in app and online. Error message says column 1 ‘birthday’ missing but there is not even a birthday field to enter in the registration form! Clearly a bug and needs to be addressed by the developer. ### 1/5 — Beware! Pay gateway hacked *2023-06-10* Pay gateway is used to establish over 18. It’s hacked! Credit cards will be denied then fraudulent charges appear. ### 1/5 — Is this a scam? *2023-02-22* I downloaded this app based on ASA’s recommendation. Immediately there was a pop up ad so when I thought I was logging into the app I was logging into some random entertainment site. That was a major red flag to me. I should have checked the reviews but wrongly assumed that an app recommended by ASA would be decent. After now checking the reviews I see that all the good teviews are from many years ago. The recent ones give it very poor reviews. I don’t know what is going on but I am going to delete this app and be more cautious about what ASA is recommending in the future. ### 1/5 — Too many flaws to list here - junk software *2022-10-25* They ask your marital status. I selected divorced. The first ads to pop up were “young, beautiful Ukrainian women” and other, similarly offensive ones. And zero response to emails asking for support. No easy way to delete an account. Bare-bones help section. ### 1/5 — Not worth downloading *2022-02-03* Has really obnoxious ads that randomly take over the screen. Have to pay to turn them off. Ransomware!! ### 1/5 — Obnoxious Ads - Limited Users - Worthless *2021-07-27* Downloaded based on ASA advertisement with high hopes of finding sailing buddies. Overwhelmed with in app advertising with extremely high obnoxious volumes. Extremely limited subscribers -- all of 12 listings for all of west coast. Most listings are for private people offering sailing or lessons for a fee. Uninstalled after fully exploring app in 20 minutes! ### 1/5 — It’s limited *2021-03-25, version 4.4.3* Only letting you search near your gps location is useless to me. I’d pay to remove the adds if I could search any zip code. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it. Easy to use and truly Free (ASA sponsored) *2019-06-09* Introduced it to our club spring of 2019 and the skippers using it are no longer short on crew. This means more boats on the starting line in our club racing! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review - we're glad that you're seeing results! ### 5/5 — Get onboard! *2017-07-27* Meet new friends and go sailing even if you don't have a sailboat! Go sailing on your sailboat with new friends you met through this app!! I really cannot think of a downside. Tell everyone who enjoys spending time on the water about the Go Sailing app. ### 5/5 — ASA's 'Go Sailing' App *2016-08-10, version 2.1* For experienced and would-be sailors, this app is great! Have a boat, but need one or more crew members to go sailing? This is your app. Want to go sailing, but don't have a boat, this is your app, too. It's sort of an 'Uber' for sailors, putting boats and crew members together for the benefit of all. The sailors know the boat and the owner, and the owner knows who the sailors are and their experience level. It's about time for this app! ### 5/5 — A must try app! *2016-08-09, version 2.1* Go Sailing has allowed my dream of learning to sailing, COME TRUE! I've always wanted to go sailing but hadn't ever taken classes or knew anyone to go with. This app allowed me to accomplish both + everyone was SO NICE! ### 5/5 — Great Way To Go Sailing *2016-08-08, version 2.1* So excited to see this app is now available in Marina del Rey as well as San Francisco - I hope it expands quickly to other locations so that even more people can enjoy this great app! See you on the water!! ### 5/5 — Much Needed *2016-08-04, version 2.1* So happy to see an app like this on the sailing scene - I hope it takes root nationwide. I travel and would love love love to be able to get on a boat wherever I'm at. Haven't used it much yet but I'm also looking forward to taking some folks out on my boat. Any avid sailor knows finding crew can be an issue. App seems to work as advertised, so let's hope people buy in. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-06-04, version 1.49* Where have you been all my life. Love to sail? Then Go Sailing. Best app ever! ### 5/5 — Easy access to a day of sailing *2015-07-28, version 1.48.3* The Kroocial app is a great addition to the sharing economy. Notifications are sent periodically. It is easy to review trip details and click on Join to submit an application for a day of sailing, making new friends and sharing an adventure on the water. ### 5/5 — Newbie *2014-08-25, version 1.47.3* Great app that's super easy to use. It's is well designed for it's purpose, and yet very efficient in terms of trip organization, contact information, and group set up. Highly recommended for both leisure and professional sails, a fantastic way to start your sailing experience without overly charged fees. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-08-16, version 1.47.3* Great app! Easy to use and the only way to find sailing opportunities for those that love the water! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
