Love this app some many features that can even be overwhelming at times One feature I would love to see is the ability to go from one waypoint to another from the watch app when it does not automatically switch or the course as been changed
It works when it does. Bit flakey. And don’t bother with Pebble in app app
Great app and only getting better. Accepting nmea inputs makes this very powerful. Start functions and AIS display are excellent. The performance data is there and a bit more work on the display will improve its usability for tuning.
Very good to see regular updates. They are noticed and really appreciated.
I've been using this app for a couple of club races and have come away really impressed. It gives you an amazing amount of detail, speed, VMG, heading etc in a very simple effective tracking system. I Agree with the other reviewer, some buttons could be larger and the ui a little more consistent, but I'm sure thus will happen in future updates. My main wish would be for tweaking options to help with visibility on bright days, but then that also comes down to hardware limitations. This is a terrific sailing app!
The GPS of the current iPhone/iPad is never going to be as accurate as a dedicated sailing GPS - but given this limitation, iRegatta can provide you with many of the features of expensive instruments without the expense, and at a size you can take with you (with a suitable waterproof cover). The readings are very clear and the process of setting up the start line for both bias and distance is easy - and the apps buttons are reasonably large - although I think they could be larger for gloved hands and make them easier to read in strong light. It also gives you the distance and VMG to the next waypoint and has an easy to read shift indicator to let you know when to tack. It also has a major plus if you want more accuracy in that it can take the input from dedicated NMEA Wi-Fi transmissions from dedicated yacht instruments if you have them and it generates Polar diagrams from The ability to fix a waypoint using two sightings from the iPhone camera is very cool - although quite whether this works on a boat in the waves is something I haven't tested. There's also some inconsistancy in the UI - for most of the screens you exit them using a "AV-type" back button on the bottom left of the screen but the Track listings screen uses an Exit button located at the top left. I had some problems with the Map display which had two radomly poisitoned pins which I couldn't remove and they weren't listed in the waypoints either.
