raceQs

Was excited that this would be a good tool that I could share with fellow sailors. Doesn’t work. Deleted.

It’s a pity yacht clubs and staff don’t do enough to support this app. It’s great for seeing mistakes of others and confirming errors or protests. Setting up of buoys each week is tiresome if this could permanent would be great.

Takes a bit of getting used to but once you have got it it works well.

This is just a tracking app; the Start and Dashboard screens do not exist. Didn’t even bother using it.

I used this app sporadically over the last 2 seasons with a few other racers in the Southern Chesapeake Bay. It’s a great app but it doesn’t seem like the developers are updating it any longer so I’m leery to encourage others to download. I would love to use this app more and get our sailing association which sponsors 50-60 races a season to get onboard but until it gets updated to support all newer iOS and android based phones I’m afraid to push it. Does anyone know if there are better options to track racers and use the results for replaying races?

At first it worked. Using iPhone 13. After first couple of tracks, it won’t record any distance. And support does not reas their email or answer messages on their Facebook page. Sad. It could be a great racing tool. But it’s crap.

I love this app! It is amazing to watch your races in simulation. However, the app needs refreshing and bug fixes as iOS updates seem to be causing more frequent crashes.

Could not say enough great things about RaceQs. Super in depth and very versatile, this app does everything from Course Over Ground to heel angle.

This app is completely unreal! The level of in-depth analysis performed completely blows my mind! Forget watching the America's Cup, download this app and use it in your next race (and get your competitors to do it too) and you can have an in depth analysis of the race! Who was late to the start? Where was the lay line? How much of a lead did you have in the middle of leg 2? Best VMG? Who was in a wind shadow? What angle got you your best speed? Did you really have overlap when you got the the mark circle? What was your top/average speed? Who sailed the shortest distance? Did you miss the tack on that big header? We're your tacks wider than Jim's? Anything you want to see, this app can do it! Note that the analysis is best viewed on a computer; the app records your track, speed, pitch, heel, distance, etc, and will display it in real time, but to really get the most of the analysis and compare your performance to that of the other boats, you need to go online on a PC or Mac, or possibly a tablet. Create an account. It's easy, it's free, and it's just so you can track and manage your replays. No spam emails or paid subscriptions. This app is a phenomenal tool to review your races to learn and improve performance, or even just to compare and get Bragging rights! Recording is simple, tap the button and go! And with raceqs geovids, you can even sync your GoPro footage to the raceqs replay!

Outstanding tool for any racing team who is serious about improving. Also, great for clubs as a way to replay and relive earlier races.
