tracking on your mobile - updated to feature everything we track
including yacht races, car rallies, adventure racing and more.
IMPORTANT: The YB Races app is free to download, but
EACH RACE has an individual price to purchase. Each race is typically
priced at £1.99 / 2.49 euro / $2.99 - please do not leave negative
feedback based on having to buy races. If you wish to watch for free,
please use our web-based viewers.
Information in the race viewer is also controlled by the race
organisers - not YB Tracking. For instance, if a race organiser has
not provided pictures for the teams, then pictures will not appear in
this app or on our web-based viewer.
Key features:
- See information about the teams in the race
- View live leaderboards
- Review the map, course and wind info (where available)
- Zoom to all teams, leaders, and the course area
- Social media feed with news about the race
- Replay facility, to allow you to scrub backwards and forwards in time
Note: This app requires an internet connection to operate
Reviews
Vendee Globe
Kilaoura
I can’t understand why the Vendee Globe, the most impressive and important race along with the Golden Globe isn’t part of the listing. That’s a major mistake. I hope you guys will fix this as soon as possible, as the race started already 5 days ago. I would have rated this app much higher if I could find the Vendee Globe among all the races you follow.
The worst version yet
EMHB3
I’d give it zero stars if I could. I’ve been using this app to track the Chicago Mac Race for years and this is by far the worst version yet. These are my top three issues: 1) You cannot save favorite teams, you have to go through the process of finding your teams every time you open the app. 2) You cannot tag a boat and have it highlighted on the map. 3) You cannot select and follow a single boat within a team, you have to see all of them. You’ve done much better in the past, fix this for next year!
Confusing

I cant make heads or tails of the listing for races. No explanation of what the column headings are and i they mixed data types in the table cells. Nice visuals and didn't crash for me as some complained. But hard to tell what some of it means.
Worst app ever to follow sailing races
67---aallbb
Following a sailing race from the armchair is all about understanding what is happening on the course and on each vessel; it is all about data: wind, currents, and boat speed and course, comparing these data in a specific time range give the juice of it. Well NONE, absolutely noneof this is doable in this horrendous app, wind representation is absolutely horrible. Using this app is a continuous accidental jibe! Stop it!
Useless
SashaAgapov
Nothing would load. All I see is a white screen and a loading spinner. Very racy.
Great tool and service for regatta management

We have used YB Tracking service for races over several years. The app works well to help monitor the events and for race fans to follow the action. Customer service is always great too.
Race tracking

Every time I login, I have a terrible time trying to find my particular boat. I do not know what to do to be able to track my particular boat

The YB Tracking app has added a new level of interest in the PH Mackinac for my friends and very amusing Apple tv viewing in the winter. Too much fun. Thank you. By far it is my favorite app. Yes, we follow ourselves up and down.

I won’t complain about the lack of features relative to the “desktop” (web) version. But given the minimal feature set, those features should actually work. Any time the app loses focus, you lose your race tracking. “Error: Sorry there was a problem loading this race - please try again.” Funny because there wasn’t a problem 2 seconds ago when I last had the app open... Usability is also a bit wonky. It uses the universal symbol of “search” (magnifying glass) as the zoom button. Not sure how many times I’ve hit it hoping it’d search for a boat I’m tracking. Nope, that’s the “Teams” tab. Find your boat then figure out the concentric circle icon means to highlight the boat back on the map. Get the basics right then we can talk about the features it lacks relative to the website.
