C’est application a l’air vraiment très bien cependant pour avoir le contenus complet il faut passer des tests lié au vocabulaire et à l’orientation des voiles ce qui est très contraignant pour toute personne étant française allemande ou espagnol car l’app n’est disponible qu’en anglais russe et grec alors si plus de langues etaient proposées je mettrais sans aucun doute un meilleur avis car du peu que j’ai compris il est très bien

Overpowering

Nice game
Nice balance between fun and learning
The only problem is when you are overpowering, you doesnt have time to adapt and according to me even in good sailing condition the game flip your boat juste because of the speed (over 8kn)

Lessons

I just downloaded your SailSim and went through the lesson. Some of your topics are telling me I have the wrong answer. There’s a few on there that when I get to the last question, it systematically tells me it’s wrong… now I’m stuck in able go any further.

Sucks

You can only get so far and then the game screws you so you only get so far waste of time

Enjoyed it, some confusion though

I have really been enjoying this game. I really liked going through the lessons, but it is difficult to see which questions I got wrong as the notification only shows the first few words of the question. I am very happy to have completed every lesson and challenge! I have completed the first two adventures, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what is needed for the third adventure. The instructions are unclear. I have sailed through every part of the map and there are no more arches or bridges to sail under. Please I am begging you to tell me how to finish the final adventure!

Lowering the keel???

I tried to play it and couldn’t get past the first part of the tutorial. Can’t see any control for lowering the keel, so I just sit there.

Nothing but adverts

There is so much potential here, but it’s just one advert after another. Tried it for about 30 minutes and the game could be fun but it’s ruined by huge long adverts. I trashed it. It’s a real shame. Could have been great!

Great sim

Perfect to show / teach kids the basics and great fun for any stranded sailor who misses the boat. This App was recommended to me by ChatGTP when looking for a sailing Game with realistic physics. It deserves more attention from the sailing community. Thank you Mr delevoper!

Good but…

A bit tricky at the beginning but by far the best sailing sim I have played so far.
I really can’t figure out how to succed in the « tight spaces » challenge. And it looks like there is a bug in the « totem protector » adventure (I can no longer steer the boat after having interacted with the statue).
Hope new ships will be joining !

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive feedback. Apologies for the late reply, was stuck in dry dock all summer and just now sat down to relax a bit and work on SailSim. Tight Spaces is done in reverse. Try rotating the camera for a better view of the Stern and slowly pass through the rocky waters. Its tricky but doable. There is also another way to pass the course and "Cheat" Hint: Let the wind drift you forward and check out those palms blocking the way :) I Will look into the Totem Issue. (Normally there should be a button to go back from the Totem. I tested it but i will check again. An E-mail and a note of the issue would really help so i can narrow it down.

Follow me challenge

Has anyone beat this challenge? Seems impossible and I can’t move forward in the app.

Its doable. Based on stats, more than 400 people beat it so far. Try to stay ahead of the following boat and don't let the barrier get away from you.

Good idea, but needs work

Im a USCG licensed sailing captain, and love the idea behind this app, but it needs alot of work. Wish i could get my $2.99 back lol. Paying for and “unlocking” the app does nothing. Needs to be full access if you pay for full unlock. A free sail mode would be ideal. Wind and boat physics are not realistic. Hope will be improved upon in future updates. for now, not really worth the download.

Tank you for the feedback. I always welcome criticism and enjoy improving SailSim for everyone. The idea behind the whole "Unlock" system is to restrict people from passing "Cheating" their way through all the steps required in order to understand how the basics of a sailboat work. Just as any game, naturally you must "Earn" your way through the ranks in any situation to progress. Otherwise it would not be interesting in my opinion. All physics are completely dynamic. Nothing is scripted and the boat reacts to the best abilities a mobile device can offer under the circumstances. There are a lot of forces being applied to all sailboats but as you can understand, it would be almost impossible to make it completely realistic. For that reason SailSim is designed to provide a good "feel" for how a boat reacts without making things too serious. There are more expensive simulators that can do that on a PC. My main goal was to introduce people to sailing in a fun and simple way without making things too convoluted. Naturally there is a lot that could be done and i am making improvements all the time. Have been stuck on dry dock all summer and just now am getting back into development on new features for SailSim. Lots of updates were made for newer devices and i am trying to keep up with the limited hardware i have (20 year old PC) :)
