Hopeless

So tiny & can’t expand graphics.

Text size too small

Have just loaded this App, and whilst it is very useful visually. The text at the bottom right is too small to read, and can not be enlarged. This is on the largest of the ipad screens.

Pretty good app for newbies

I really enjoyed the app for learning the basics. Now its gonna be a 3 star app because of my review. Woot!

Need a magnifying glass!

Love this app but the graphics and especially the script in the “Tips” box in lower R corner are impossible to read as they are microscopic making it impossible to read. Cannot tap to magnify either. If the developer’s could make it readable, i.e. magnify everything, then this would be a great, invaluable app.

Garbage! Hard to Read. No Value.

Tiny images with no sound move slowly across your page.
In the lower corner, the explanatory text is so small you cannot read it.

This claims to be a teaser for a tactical sailing game. I won’t bother.
