Tried as I saw new 3d viewer. NO 3D viewer. No support either. Horrible. Misrepresented.

You need to spend at least $20 per game to be competitive. It's fun but expensive. Their discounted "Full Options Package" is actually not available so they sucker you into spending more for the features you want. When contacted about this problem, they plead ignorance and then become non-responsive. Don't waste your money.

A nicely designed sailing environment combined with the competitive nature of open open racing. Moderate realism and you need to spend at least $25 US to be competitive. Too many competitors. Needs to have qualification races or classes of racing. Currents should be better integrated. Overall involving but needs some work. Just experimented at beginning of latest short race. Without ProSails (at a minimum) you can't be competitive. For $11.00 for even a short race this is ridiculous. You need an option for sail carry over between races. Latest update crashes with appalling frequency. Too expensive and the greed is very annoying. UPDATE Ver 2.2 has crashed 36 times in first 4 hours of current race on iPad Pro. Bye bye for now.

Downloaded from App Store. Entered my boat name. Hit next, crashes. Did this three times, then uninstalled and reinstalled, crashes. Everything is up to date. Is this some kind of joke?
Thanks Danny B.
Every time I pick The Bridge race the app crashes. Not on the other races, just The Bridge!!

You have to spend a lot of cash to be competitive and the game is very unstable. Current game crashes constantly.

I'm seeing these negative reviews but I haven't experienced any of the issues that are mentioned. I've been racing this app for several months now and it is absolutely addictive!

Offshore means AWAY from land. When ever I started the app it was in some sort of river and crashed into the banks. Seems the only thing you can do is set sail size and "kind of" steer. It seems to be a real time game and keeps sailing even if you are not playing the game. It then crashes the boat into land which requires you to repair your boat, that you must do by purchasing in game credits with real money.

Turned into a arcade game. Go back to original and I will consider again. Greed and short sighted.
