Latest reviews of Sailboat Race Starter and Regatta Timer app for iPhone and iPad
Excellent. Distance to line is accurate ! Thanks !
Dont waste your money. This is the only app that is not able to determine location via GPS
This app has a lot of good features but its missing the ability to stop timing the race after the start sequence...the timer just keeps going. It would be very useful to have an option to stop the timer so that I can time my regattas. And, could you please cancel the max 1 hour that can be timed? My regattas last longer than 1 hour and if the timer continued this could potentially be a very useful app!
What a great sailboat starting app! Ive always taken my iPhone with me whilst sailing, but never had a decent way to do the stuff this app can do! My guess is the developer has extensive experience both sailing and programming computers, making thus a natural extensive of his two loves. Or hers. I dont know the devs gender. I would like to meet this developer one day and pick his or her brain for all the wisdom it undoubtedly contains therein!
Exactly why Ive been looking for
