Trash
The app version will not let you read notes about boats that have retired, but when you go to the web version on an iOS device to try to read the notes there, it won’t let you as you need to use the app.
They’ve now tried to fix this with their new race viewer, but after looking at 3 boats in the Fastnet Race Tracker, it crashes.

They ruined it.
New update is unusable, cannot click on a boat to save your life and glitches out when you try to use it. No one asked for a 3D viewer!!
Destroyed
This may be the single worst update to an app since apps began. Unfortunately a good product ruined.

Good… but could be better!
Not the best UI… maps would really benefit from the provision of some sort of scale so you can get a feel for the gap between boats and start/finish points.
Non functional and poorly designed UI
Badly thought out and does not work most of the time. Could be great but poorly executed.
Annoyingly bad
Frustrating, slow, keeps crashing my phone and you can’t track a boat or class, none of the buttons work. Stupid app
Downloaded to follow a race - does nothing
Downloaded to see where Rolex race was, search tool finds the race - map doesn’t appear. Useless
Weak app
App locks/freezes after zooming in or switching between functions. Example, look up team, stats, go to map and locks up. Not user friendly. Needs work.
Won’t stop crashing
You can’t zoom in without it crashing. Trash app
Made me lose interest in following the race.
Thought this was a refined product from my recollection of past races, but apparently no longer. This makes it not worth following.
Glad I am not a sponsor of this race, as it would be a waste of my dollars.

Very unstable app
This app is gradually getting less stable. Lack of development and updates is showing with various usability issues being encountered. For example (using the RORC Myth of Malham race) the app has frozen 3 times during zoom. It now only loads with a blank page or displays the map but is locked.
Yellow Brick you need to do more work on this as it won’t cope with the Fastnet 2023.

Terrible app
One of the most prestigious races in the world, and an app that does not keep up. There is a reason this clunky crap is free.
Super buggy
This app would be great if it didn’t crash. It’s almost totally unusable for all of the races that I did this year since it crashes almost immediately. Last year it worked pretty well.
Zoom keeps resetting
I am trying to zoom in and follow one team, why does the zoom keep resetting?
Basically useless
This app is terrible. It lacks any features that would let me follow the team I want to keep track of in a race other than that they still exist.
Looks good but doesn’t update
Just downloaded the app to follow the GGR2022. Worked the first few days of the race - now no longer updating positions.
This requires setting up laptop and looking at the website.
It will be extremely frustrating if this is the best it can do as the race will be over nine months!

Kinda functional, poor user interface design
I appreciate this is a free app and by and large it works ok. However there’s no obvious way to remove races you’re no longer interested in, which reflects a generally poor user experience.
I’ve also noticed that I will sometimes have to launch the app three or four times before it actually works.

Worst app ever to follow sailing races
Following a sailing race from the armchair is all about understanding what is happening on the course and on each vessel; it is all about data: wind, currents, and boat speed and course, comparing these data in a specific time range give the juice of it. Well NONE, absolutely noneof this is doable in this horrendous app, wind representation is absolutely horrible.
Using this app is a continuous accidental jibe! Stop it!

Confusing
I cant make heads or tails of the listing for races. No explanation of what the column headings are and i they mixed data types in the table cells.
Nice visuals and didn't crash for me as some complained. But hard to tell what some of it means.
