This app might be rated merely “poorly designed,” but it is hard to see the design outlines owing to the bugs. For example, after entering my personal info and bio, I start exploring the app, add a trip. When I recheck my personal info view, I find that everything but my name has been lost. I try it again, it seems fine (personal info is retained after switching focus), but after 10 minutes same error—personal info has now vanished. Meanwhile, after specifying my trip I’d expect it to appear in the home page’s list of trips. It doesn’t, leading me to wonder if it is showing up anywhere.
Can’t get off of ground zero with this app, as it loses my profile information, every time I attempt to enter it. There is no Save button - only a Done button which doesn’t work.
Introduced it to our club spring of 2019 and the skippers using it are no longer short on crew. This means more boats on the starting line in our club racing!
Without being able to enter and SAVE profile info, how is someone to accept you aboard?? I’ve tried, ad nauseam (and angry frustration); no help. No response or acknowledgement of question to support, thus far.
Logged in using Facebook and I ended up with profile information of an individual (I’d never heard of) that I couldn’t update. Every time I’d try to update something the app kept giving me error messages. I think it’ll be a long time before I give this another shot. Deleted the app and disconnected it from my FB account.
This app is just fantastic.. I love it! Going out on the ocean in a sunny day is just the most beautiful, relaxing and fun plan I could think of, but it was always difficult to connect to people who were looking for crew or expensive to do. With Kroocial is so easy to apply to crew openings, and meet other people passionate about sailing. Now, I could go sailing every weekend if want to .. Even with my budget, unbelievable! Thanks Kroocial team.. You rock!
Best way to find like minded sailors. I really liked the private sailing feature. Takes the hassle out of planning a trip. Nice handy app for a passionate sailor :-)
Finding sailing opportunities has been really hard if you live inland as I do. Now instead of trying to call a random sailing club to hire a crew, I can be the crew. Finding a sailing trip will be so easy from now on. What a great App.
