One day success, the next day not. Today the IPhone connects but not the iPad. I’ve tried restarting, connecting via cellular vs wifi, re-booting, etc.. I think there’s an issue with authentication. Maybe during this Covid19 crisis there’s to many connections for the server to handle. BTW, selecting app support from the App Store just brings you to the web browser with no specific link to ask for support. Oh, and yes, I have no problems with a web browser logging in so that may mean it’s not an overload. Lastly, I love Cruisers’ Forum, it’s just the app that needs help! ### 4/5 — Great forum app isn’t intuitive though *2019-07-22* All good but takes a bit to sort your way navigating the site. ### 3/5 — Please add support for 11” iPad Pro *2019-05-19, version 5.4.12* Hi, Could you please add support for the iPad Pro 11” screen size. The app is currently cropped. Would be great to make use of the extra space. Also, scrolling through the various parts of the forums is pretty slow on the iPad Pro I find. Quite a bit of lag. Regards, Simon ### 2/5 — Please let me pay you to disable ads *2018-07-08, version 5.4.12* I would give this app 5 stars, but the ads are very intrusive and often weird. I would gladly pay for an ad-free version. As it is, I find it almost unusable and will probably go back to using the browser. Even if they were less frequent or somewhat relevant, I’d probably just deal with it. The ads that come up are very odd, enough that if anyone were to glance over my shoulder and see it on my screen I would be embarrassed. I understand the need for ad revenue, and I would gladly pay for ad-free! Other than that, the app seems solid. ### 2/5 — Stop dunning me *2017-12-04* I wrote a review already. Stop asking. Adequate app. ### 4/5 — Pretty good app and an excellent community *2017-08-19* I like it. There are only two things preventing me from a 5-star rating. You get a lot of the functionality of the website, but most of the settings can only be changed from the website. I only have my phone for browsing and more functionality would be very helpful. The second thing is ads. I know they're usually a necessary evil, but I would be more than willing to pay a little bit to get rid of the ads. A paid version would be pretty cool. Other than those two very minor and ultimately inconsequential things, I love this app. ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-06-10* My only complaint and the reason it isn't 5star; is there are way to many ads cluttering up the page ### 5/5 — Best sailing forum hands down! *2017-03-12, version 5.3.9* Great forum to meet other sailors, ask questions and learn. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-12-01, version 5.2.6* Easy to use, works great every time. ### 5/5 — Great information place *2016-11-25, version 5.2.6* Moderators keep a strict code and the information shared in above all there is many knowable sailors willing to help others and it is a great sailing garage sail source! Thank You Very Much My FRIENDS ### 5/5 — Very active group *2016-11-08, version 5.2.6* With a great wealth of knowledge sprinkled with a lot of sarcasm. ### 2/5 — Search function problem *2014-08-01, version 3.8* It's a nice, clean looking app, but I can't get good results from the search function. Search results from Google are much better--more specific. Ex: Prosine low bus voltage ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seems obsolete *2025-06-16* App does not connect, so does not work. (Keeps loading forever on startup). Too bad, I was looking forward to using it. ### 1/5 — App not loading *2025-03-05* App downloads fine, but never successfully connects to the server. Fix it or pull the app….. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-11-15* Was looking forward to using the app but it will not load. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Previously worked great.. now fails to authenticate and connect *2024-04-13* This app used to be great. Something must be different in the authentication or a version update as it never wants to authenticate to the web site anymore. Please fix or update. ### 1/5 — Fantastic Forum, very poor Ap *2020-08-09* I read my feed religiously and think extremely highly of the forum in general. I have it on my laptop, iPhone & ipad. The app is pretty poor in my opinion, buggy at times & poor search quality; I much prefer the website fo any real investigation.

I’ve rebooted no change. ### 1/5 — Cannot sign up *2014-06-17, version 3.1.1* Cannot sign in. Multiple attempts to sign in. App says I am spam. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2014-05-28, version 3.1.1* This version just crashes upon opening. What a waste of time. The old one worked, this one is junk. Guaranteed to crash every time you open it. Total crap. Wish you could give a zero star rating. ### 1/5 — Evil App *2014-03-29, version 3.1.1* Can't make it go away. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2023-02-15, version 5.4.12* An ocean of information! ### 5/5 — Love the Camraderie *2023-01-20* I have had this app for years and love the information and camaraderie between sailors. Great app and threads. ### 5/5 — Thankyou to the App developers! *2022-01-23, version 5.4.12* Much appreciate that you brought your technical abilities to this, bringing knowledge and a commmunity together - in spite of a few slinging matches, this is the best thing on the internet apart from YouTube squirrel videos. Happy Sailing! ### 5/5 — Lots of dynamic participants, I love it! *2021-01-12* I really like this apps, lots of interesting subjects and several enthusiastic participants to answer members' questions ### 5/5 — Good app for a forum *2020-03-16* It works great and it is better than other apps. ### 5/5 — Easy easy easy *2019-07-27* Great way to participate with the cruisers forum. ### 5/5 — Awesome......😊 *2019-06-17, version 5.4.12* I have been using this App for many years and Always enjoy it.....
