Update & Support Lacking

I used this app sporadically over the last 2 seasons with a few other racers in the Southern Chesapeake Bay. It’s a great app but it doesn’t seem like the developers are updating it any longer so I’m leery to encourage others to download. I would love to use this app more and get our sailing association which sponsors 50-60 races a season to get onboard but until it gets updated to support all newer iOS and android based phones I’m afraid to push it. Does anyone know if there are better options to track racers and use the results for replaying races?

Doesn’t track

At first it worked. Using iPhone 13. After first couple of tracks, it won’t record any distance. And support does not reas their email or answer messages on their Facebook page. Sad. It could be a great racing tool. But it’s crap.

Disappointing.

Was excited that this would be a good tool that I could share with fellow sailors.

Doesn’t work. Deleted.

Needs a watch companion app!!

This app has SO MUCH potential. But they’ve obviously abandoned it. So sad.

It would be so useful to have an Apple Watch companion app for this. So you can set your phone up in the appropriate position in the cabin and then activate tracking via the watch at the right time instead of having to go down below to start it. Sadly I don’t have my hopes up for this.

Sailing the Swan

It’s a pity yacht clubs and staff don’t do enough to support this app.
It’s great for seeing mistakes of others and confirming errors or protests.
Setting up of buoys each week is tiresome if this could permanent would be great.
