Overall or leg results Not avalaible or good hidden. No latest news or multimedia Posts Not accessible ### 2/5 — tracker is useless *2023-01-15, version 3.0* most important info on the app is the live tracker but in iphone is useless, info isnt displaying well :/ in the web version the problem is same. please fix this one. ### 2/5 — Falling way short *2021-06-02, version 2.1.9* The app in itself is falling short: - Every time we open it, we have to get this stupid water flow for 5 seconds. I like it once, but not every time! - The tracker does not show the finishing line (how stupid?) and is fed with wrong wind data (this is a sailing race, man! Wind is important.) In addition the communication is desperately sparse and late. Clearly, some know how has been lost when Volvo disengaged. The current organizers are nowhere near ready. ### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich *2021-02-24, version 2.1.9* Viel zu unübersichtlich und durcheinander. Man gewinnt keinen Überblick. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-05-28, version 2.1.1* Easy to follow the race. ### 5/5 — Excellente appli *2018-05-16, version 2.1.1* Un peu de décalage entre les soucis ( collision , démâtage...) et les explications ou commentaires des soucis en question . Nedcham ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-05-10, version 2.1.1* Having loads of fun watching the race with daily catch ups ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2018-04-11, version 2.1.0* 10/10 ### 5/5 — Keeping Me In Touch *2018-03-28, version 2.1.0* It's great to be able to follow along with the progress of each team. The updates, articles and tracker are what I use the most, and the videos and photography are exceptional. ### 2/5 — Ergonomie déplorable sur iPad Pro *2018-03-20, version 2.1.0* Beaucoup trop lourd. L’écran se met toujours à l’envers, rien de plus énervant. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deludente *2025-09-05, version 3.1* Se il tuo intento è un peggioramento dell’umore, questa è l’app che fa per te ### 1/5 — Schrott *2025-08-26, version 3.1* Die Position der Boote und der Start- und Ziellinien ist zu ungenau, heute bei der Zwischenwertung vor Spanien fahren in der App alle Führungsboote nicht durch das Tor. Das Leaderboard mit den Daten passt nicht zur Tracking-Karte. Das kann man also getrost alles entsorgen. ### 1/5 — Einfach nur schlecht. *2025-08-10, version 3.1* Die App der Vendee Globe war schon nicht gut. Diese App zeigt nur Müll an. Unübersichtlich und schlecht zu Navigieren. ### 1/5 — Unable to figure out, where exactly the starting line is *2025-08-09, version 3.1* This app is of no use, if you want to go to Kiel to watch the start. Therme is no Information wäre the starting line is and from where to watch the start. ### 1/5 — Blank screen, then content takes 3+ mins to load/when finally loaded all is in 'error format' *2025-04-26, version 3.1* Excited to follow The Ocean Race Europe 2025, but.. After opening the app (for the 1st time) & after the prompt to determine whether to allow notifications, there was a blank screen with the TOR logo for about 3 mins, then all content loads in 'error format' in which the content is not formatted properly for app-form. Appearance is like a website loaded incorrectly. Web-browser version has no issues. Please fix this, guys, I'd love to follow along! ### 1/5 — App ist überladen *2023-06-17, version 3.0* Das Wichtige, die Positionen und die Rahmenbedingungen, werden in über die Hälfte des Bildschirms reingewürgt. Wenn man sich dann Details anzeigen lassen will, werden die mit Logos und anderen Funktions-Icons überlagert. So ist es auch kaum möglich die Timeline ohne Tricks zu bedienen. Positionen aktualisieren sich nicht selbst. Es gibt auch keinen Refresh-Knopf. Crew-Infos sind falsch. ### 1/5 — da rivedere come il sito *2023-06-10, version 3.0* Come il sito anche l’app non è funzionale per il mio iPhone. Il tracker non è completamente visibile e non è possibile passare da Imoca a Vo65. Per lo meno il menu del contenuto delle barche si visualizza per intero mentre nel sito no. Sarebbe da rivedere, non è possibile avere tutta quella parte sopra fissa. ### 1/5 — Tracker not working *2023-01-15, version 3.0* the tracker isn't updating the positions of the boats. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2023-01-09, version 3.0* Been trying to figure this app out. I’m not too familiar with this years. Looked at the team listings to work out who to support but there is hardly anything in the summary on them. I’m confused by the two classes of boats but can’t find much on that either. It really is hard to work out what’s going on. Even the first in port race there is no link I can find to watch it, just a short summary video. It looks like it’s going to be really hard to get into this ### 1/5 — Pas de nouvelles fraîches *2021-06-08, version 2.1.9* Et pas d’annonce des étapes à venir. Pas top ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 2023 race *2023-03-02, version 3.0* Brilliant content ### 5/5 — Bug Vollbildanzeige *2023-01-17, version 3.0* Bug: Vollbildanzeige geht nur, wenn der Ausführungslink unter dem Vollbildknopf ausgeführt wird. Sonst in Ordnung. ### 5/5 — Super app for Ocean Race lovers *2022-12-23, version 3.0* Very clean design, easy to use and, since they introduced V 3.0, updates perfectly ### 5/5 — Cruise *2021-06-22, version 2.1.9* Nearly always up to date. ### 5/5 — Actualité *2021-06-08, version 2.1.9* Informer plus au fil de l’avancement des bateaux . Le compte rendu de la rubrique Actualité est bien mais une information continue serait plus en phase avec les différents événements rencontrés par les équipages. ### 5/5 — John Wm. Byron Pepper [fragment] *2020-03-17, version 2.1.9* If You, Being-here: You’d voice Your muffled roar, Batter shores - myriad shapeless mounds: Course, clean sand swept from Ocean’s floor. Yet Great White Gulls Go flying far and free Cross this restless, timeless, lonely sea. ### 5/5 — Bellissimo progetto e ben realizzata *2019-05-12, version 2.1.9* Come da titolo! Molto bella da avere a portata di mano e leggere per sentire subito sulla pelle l'impressione della brezza dell'oceano! Interfaccia ottima! ### 5/5 — Ganas de vivir *2018-11-03, version 2.1.6* Una verdadera pasada. Tengo 62 años y me habéis hecho sentir la aventura y volver a plantearme Tetis. Gracias ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2018-06-11, version 2.1.4* Enjoying the race with the app. Gives an excellent overview of what is happening in realtime ### 5/5 — Volvo app *2018-06-08, version 2.1.4* Great app, my only sport I follow. This makes it real. Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
