Latest reviews of Learn to sail app for iPhone and iPad

Learn to sail app full of typos
Havent made it past the second lesson and had to quit because all the typos cause too much confusion.
Mr
Not worth the price , too short articles and no real sailing courses . Even a One star rating is too much . Waste ,waste for this kind of jokes.
Indispensable0
By going through the lessons on this app I’ve learned a lot about identifying and understanding sea marks, navigating, safety and weather formations. Everything is well organized and simple to understand-and I feel less and less like an amateur every time I set out. And it helps to be able to quiz myself at the end of each lesson. I really like having all this essential information on my phone, the best thing is that I can look up things even when I am on the water without an internet connection.
The Best Sailing app!
As a novice sailor this app has helped me a lot. I think it has lots of useful articles for sailors and wannabe sailors like me. My friend (who owns the boat), even asks me to use the app to look up information when we are sailing together
Waste of money
This was the biggest waste of money Ive spent in a long time. All this app consists of is essay format descriptions of certain topics, which doesnt even go into any topic depth. I was thinking I was getting an app that would help with beginner sailors, learning terms and some common sailing wind tips. There is one lesson on tying ropes, but doesnt even tell you how to do it.
