There are times when you just need a small yacht in your hand, whether you're trying to explain the America's Cup to a non-sailor, teaching your own young sailor, discussing the rules with your crew, or talking to your team about mark traps. Use the app on one phone to talk about port and starboard, tacking, gybing, and reaching. Use the app on two phones by setting the wind direction for both and you're all set to discuss right of way, proper course, and mark roundings. Use 6 phones and you can strategise for team sailing. Once you've set the wind direction the wind indicator will track it for you just as you would expect and the sail will set accordingly, whether you're heading up to the top mark or down to the bottom gate. You can add a wind shift to right or left and talk about lifts and knocks. And obviously if you're pointing directly into the wind you're going nowhere. Sailing Coach is the yacht you can carry in your pocket wherever you go.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DartCounter at 4.8 against Sailing Coach's 3.0. DartCounter also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Sailing Coach's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DartCounter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DartCounter has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of DartCounter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sailing Coach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DartCounter ships an update weekly, Sailing Coach every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
