## What is iRegatta?

This is a free evaluation version of iRegatta.

All features are included, but GPS and NMEA0183 input will shut down after 4 minute. All features you would like to use can be bought as In-App-Purchases.
'iRegatta Pro' has Basic, NMEA and AIS features enabled.

iRegatta is a tactical Regatta application as well as a crusing navigation application for the iPhone.

The build-in GPS unit and the unique graphical possibilities of the iPhone, makes it ideal for such an application.

If you have a iPhone anyway, this is a cheap way to introduce you to the benefits of a GPS device, to help you leverage your regatta sailing performance.

A downside is of cause the fact that your iPad is not waterproof! But there are products out there, where you can put your iDevice into, to make it waterproof and still be able to operate it. In this way you can either mount it near your other instruments on your keelboat or strap it to your arm if you are sailing a dinghy.

Features:

Main View.
Here you can see your 4 most important readouts, fore instance Heading, Speed, VMG and Performance.

There also is a lift indicator, showing you if you have been lifted by a wind shift, and graphs showing the development in your speed and VMG over a configurable amount of time and a permormance bar.

Wind direction.
Set your wind direction by storing your heading while sailing on upwind on starboard and port tack, or simply type it in.

Start view.
Here you have your count down (including sync), and you can mark your starting line and iRegatta will calculate the distance to the line and indicate the favorite line end, if wind direction is set.

Statistics view.
View your current position and trip odometer and max speed since last reset. You'll also see a polar diagram with your speed and VMG (wind speed dependent).

Waypoints.
Navigate to your favorite pre-stored waypoints, or create a new temporary waypoint by cross bearing using the iPhone internal camera, or by distance/bearing.

Tracking.
Record your track and view it on the map or export it for further analysis to your computer.

Instead of internal GPS you can get instrument information over WiFi from NMEA0183 instruments. (In-App-Purchase). 

AIS data received over WiFi will be displayed in a Radar-like view. (In-App-Purchase).

iRegatta also comes with a watch app, which will allow you to view data on your watch as well as operate the start line features. Besides that, the watch app will track your sailing as an activity and help you close your activity circles using HealthKit.

### 1/5 — Navionics Maps not working

*2025-07-13*

I entered my Navionics account and it correctly shows my subscriptions but the maps display only shows the Navionics base map without any details.
In general the app seems unpolished and unstable.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-23*

App integrates perfectly with my Raymarine NMEA instruments. Great developer support!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-08-10*

Vary useful app.. I use it in port-to-port as well as bouy racing.  Communication with my instruments excellent. Best developer support!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect with GPS

*2022-09-24*

Even though I spent the required fee to upgrade iRegatta, it doesn’t connect with the gps on my iPad, making it functionally useless.

### 5/5 — Improvement

*2022-06-14*

If you have the start line , your position and the time to start , you can calculate if you gonna blow the start or you are late .

You can put some colors in the Apple Watch cont down .

Green  ok

Red  blow the line 

Blue  late to the line .

Tô make it simple  , you can input just one point for the start (  chose before the best spot to start )

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me

*2022-06-02*

I bought this app to use it for its race start feature. However the update from the internal gps of my iPad and even my brand new iPhone to the app is too slow to make it useful. I looked to see if there was a setting but couldn’t find one and I haven’t found a way to contact the developer for any guidance. I wish I hadn’t made the purchase.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2019-10-28*

Iregatta works perfectly for me. When looking at the fact that it does the same as a 500$ regatta timer with gps and much much more, it is definitely worth the few bucks. A bit „cooler“ design would be great, but most of all I see it as a functional tool.

### 1/5 — Closes when I open

*2014-02-05*

I bought this app for $9.99 and it closes as soon as I open it. It worked fine before I gave them money to try and unlock certain features. Would have been five stars if the app actually did what it said it would.

### 4/5 — Data exchange?

*2013-08-30*

Really cool and useful, almost love it. But would love to see data exchange between two different devices eg. iPhone and iPad. Will save a lot of time...makes no sense editing manually waypoints on each single device in front of a new race with new marks.

The option for using OpenSeaMap has been added.

### 4.62.1 — 2026-07-13

Accuracy for NMEA GPS data fixed and a new setting for User Equivalent Range Error is added.
NMEA Accuracy is calculated as HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision) from the GGA NMEA0183 sentence multiplied by the User Equivalent Range Error. For a standard consumer GPS receiver 5 would be the correct number. But newer units could be more accurate and require a value of ex. 3.
