The controls are good, it’s fun and easy to play. Most other sailing games seem really technical and are trying to be real. I would never play those. Please add an in app purchase to eliminate ads, then it’d be worth 4 stars ### 4/5 — Great game but just one thing *2020-01-04* I think that the developer of this game has done great but I think they need to add more content. ### 4/5 — Graphics *2019-10-21* Okay so the game has good graphics, everything is clear and is a GOOD replica of an actual sailing boat. The only thing that really bugs me is when you tack/gybe, the boom swings across. Yes that is correct, but what about the helm! They need to switch sides to a) counterbalance the boat b) not get hit in the head c) make the game that one star better⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 2/5 — Bad mechanics *2019-10-06* As a sailor, this game could be a lot more accurate. It seems like they’re trying to be accurate so it could be better. ### 2/5 — Poca roba *2019-08-23* Sembra il giochino per i bimbi... bella l’idea di regolare le vele, nervoso il controllo ma bella dinamica di movimento. ### 2/5 — I’m MAD *2019-07-02* It’s like they want you to delete this game ### 4/5 — In attesa di aggiornamenti *2018-09-23* Titolo tutt’altro che banale, trovo che sia ben congegnato e abbastanza innovativo (gestione della vela e dei venti). Però come da titolo deve essere migliorato. Aggiungere livelli e soprattutto inserire una modalità carriera. Solo allora questo gioco si potrà distinguere dalla massa. Ha le potenzialità ma ora come ora quattro stelle sono forse troppe. Più sostanza, le basi ci sono! ### 2/5 — ... *2018-09-18* Слишком сложное управление. По крайней мере для меня. А так графика классная. Но позалипать в неё не получается только из-за сложного управления ### 4/5 — 1st person *2018-09-14* Can you please make a first person mode? The game is amazing, but difficult, I will change to five star if that is possible ### 1/5 — What the frick my dude *2018-06-10, version 1.10* When I race I have to find more checkpoints than everyone else ### 3/5 — Needs a bit of improvement *2018-06-09* The game is fun, but can you give players the option to change their view? It’d be much easier to steer this thing if I was always looking at it from the rear. The rotating orientation makes for confusing steering. ### 2/5 — Very difficult to control and understand *2018-06-03* Graphics look nice. Increasing sail and the turning is very difficult to figure out, the tutorial is very unhelpful and brief. After 3 or 4 attempts to try and figure it out the fun is completely sucked away. Shame. With an alternate control layout overhaul this would be a super fun game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2020-03-03* This game does not have a way to get out of whirlpools and to get to the finish line I had to go through a whirlpool so I lost and I hate this ap the graphics are terrible to ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-02-13* Seriously, this game is one way or another. If you can get the hang of steering, your guaranteed a good game. If you can’t, don’t bother. THIS IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME . I have played for 3 straight months and is not doing anything. Quick sum-up. DO NOT GET THIS GAME ### 1/5 — Do not download this game *2019-12-29* Steering is impossible. Boring game. Would‘nt recomend ### 1/5 — The worst *2019-12-07, version 1.10* This game has so many adds and you only play like 20 percent djdndnxkskcbskxjskxjxnsjdjxkskdnxnskfkzmksxkkzkskxnxnznsnsjcksjdksjxkskkcxnnsksdkdjjdjjjjdjdjdnsjdjdjsjdjxjdjcndnjfxjjdfjcjjfdjdjjfcjxjjdjkdkdfjjskskdkdkfkkdkdkdkdkddkcjxjxjdxjjxxjdjxjjxjxjsnlaowodjxnzjcjsksoxjcnfhdjeiskwoduxhdidjxjjdjdksksosososododododoododododicjxididiskxjxjdidjjxkwkxjdjdj ### 1/5 — Il mio giudizio *2019-10-13* È impossibile guidare la barca e poi le gare sono impossibili da finire ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2019-10-09, version 1.10* Disgusting horrible mechanics really bad ### 1/5 — Hard *2019-07-05* Silly? Really more like complicated. The wind makes it too hard and I don’t like how you have to turn the sail ### 1/5 — The wind made no sense *2019-07-04* So when I needed it, I would use the wind. Everyone single time I would use it then put the sail thing down it would still pull me with the wind. Tbh the first few rounds are kinda fun but after a while it just gets extremely boring,( a while= 5 minutes) the boats don’t add anything. There’s no perks or control when you get a new boat and it makes it not rewarding to get one, I mean who are you gonna show it off to? ### 1/5 — Nothing great *2019-05-08* It is fun but controls are terrible & very hard to control boat n sail in direction I want , controls need to be worked on ASAP & made more easier n smoother to use ### 1/5 — Adverts *2018-09-23* Great game ruined by advertising. 30 secs to wait for adverts to play before your next game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bon jeu *2021-10-23* Le jeu est bien il y a plusieurs bateaux mais au bout d’un moment c’est un peu répétitif. ### 5/5 — Great game, needs improvements *2020-09-20* I’ve been looking for a realistic sailing game with real sailing concepts for a while. And this game is one my favorites, But it could use some improvements. First of all it needs more content and also improved controls. Also I'd be happy to see boat stats and maybe even achievements. Looking forward to seeing some more updates! ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-05-08* Wow really nice job, make more updates) ### 5/5 — 👍 *2018-11-09* 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿 ### 5/5 — This is a great relaxing sailing game *2018-08-22* This game is great! I love sailing games and it’s nice graphics! Why is it 3.6 rates? It must be 5.5 rates!👌👌👌 ### 5/5 — Yummy *2018-06-29, version 1.10* I love it so fun ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👌🏻 *2018-06-14* 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏽👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Mini Sea of Thieves!!! (kinda) *2018-04-12* This game has the potential to be a mini Sea of Thieves. But if you were to make it that way, try NOT to copy to many things, because otherwise you’re just ripping off Sea of Thieves. Add more cosmetics for not only your ships but your character too. ### 5/5 — Such good fun. *2018-01-24* A great app to convey the basics of sailing with absorbing game play. Sometimes the steering gets a bit flighty but that just adds to the silliness of it all. My biggest wish with this app is that it will be possible to pay to remove adverts in future.. they last 30 seconds, that’s a lot of valuable race time! ### 5/5 — Addictive but too short *2018-01-24* Very addictive game! Continue extending it with more levels, random generated levels, bigger ships (thinking more masts haha), maybe a realtime multiplayer and a Highscore list --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
