What's New in Sail Tactician
3.4.0
November 8, 2026
Post your race, and read the app at any text size. Share an image: • Open a session, then ⋯ → Share Image for a post or a story: your track on a map with the wind, and the numbers you pick. Free on every plan. • Turn off the map, boat, date or headline. Your name stays off unless you add it, and the date never shows the time. • Share your season from Analytics, a real improvement over six sessions, or an earned milestone. Larger text: • The app now holds its layout at large text sizes. The pre-start screen scrolls when it doesn't fit, so Setup never sits under the status bar and Start stays in reach. • Rows, captions and toggles across the app stack or wrap instead of being cut off. Also: • Coach findings link the sailtactician.com guide that teaches them. • Tapping your month in review opens Analytics on that month. • What's New shows once after each update, and in Settings. • App Store messages wait until a recording has finished.
