App no longer working

Capnmac25

After the Oct. 12 update, app returns to main iPad screen after maybe one second - I had 3 races in progress but they are surely toast by now; thank god I didn't bite on any of their offers to give them my money :(

Crashes

Ever since the first leg of the Volvo race my app crashes. Deleted app and reloaded and still crashes.

Negative 5 Stars!!!

Acemedic

So I want to give this 5 stars. The layout and UI of the app are pretty awesome. Easy to use and intuitive. The loss of stars comes in the in app purchases. Want all the sails for your boat? Costs extra. Want additional features for your boat? Costs extra. Map planning tools/waypoints? Costs extra. That extra cost ($20-25) is per LEG of each race! The add-one you purchase for the app do not apply to the entire app, just one LEG of a race. Not even the whole race!!! It also fluctuates, so it's not always the same $$$ for the same features. This is exorbitantly high. While the game in and of itself is high quality, those purchases will more than likely be a one time purchase for me. It would be more reasonable at $10 for the entire app. ***Update: now not only does it cost you a few bucks at the start of each race, it’s gonna cost you a few bucks each day to play to have access to features that used to be free like waypoint navigation or seeing the weather predictions. It seems “micro transactions” have warped every possible game known to man. For an 8 month race, this is just outrageous. The “Cards” implementation has ruined this game. There’s no way to actually be competitive unless you spend a few bucks a day.

Greedy

SashaAgapov

Money money money! The developers are greedy to no extent. Charging $15 for add-ons for just one leg of the race is just silly. Do you seriously expect happy & competitive players? I wish you’d focus on sponsorships and partnerships instead of trying to rip off players.

Terrible

jd-fors

Game crashes.cant even get into the game.i payed money and my boats are probably all aground by now.been 24 hours since I could get into the game.terrible!

Great game, but no testing of updates

Ric_Excelsior

This is a great game; However, the updates to the iPad version are very buggy. They do not let you decline the update and it locks up. Please guys bring your internal testing up to the level of your game.

Was fun but...

This game was amazing I absolutely loved it at first then it got boring and everything costs money. Would recommend not downloading it.

This was a great game....

WetHog

Got the last edition of the VOR it was fantastic to race along against the real boats with Virtual Regatta. This time around not so much. The main reason for this is the entire card system. The cost to buy and the cost to use the cards is a huge negative leap away from the previous version of the game. I get the folk who own VORG are not running a charity, that developing games like this cost money, but this card system seems like nothing more than a money grab.

Great virtual sailing

This game has progressed over the years, to the point I can have a great experience just on my phone, I can carry the game with me all day. I love the Volvo and Vende round the world races, where every leg is a different challenge. This is my third Volvo. Keep up the good work.

VERY BAD SYSTEM

Faunieres

In the middle of a race and after paying top $$$$ the system asked me to update to a new version BUT didn’t let me do it. Good bye VR!
