Review summary

Users appreciate the app's schedules, standings, and visual presentation during races. However, most reviews complain about poor performance including slowness, crashes, and video playback failures. Many find navigation confusing and difficult, especially switching between news and leaderboard tabs. Mandatory login with complex requirements frustrates users who want simple access. Additionally, there is dissatisfaction with limited race result accessibility and disappointing coverage focusing less on boat-to-boat action. Overall, the app concept is strong but execution and user experience need significant improvement.

Pros

Provides schedules and standings that users find useful.
Excellent graphics and live footage enhance the racing experience.
Offers multiple camera views during race replays.
Includes features to follow race events and team information.
Good concept and idea behind the app for sailing enthusiasts.

Cons

App is slow, laggy, and unresponsive, making navigation frustrating.
Frequent crashes, streaming failures, and video playback issues reported.
Difficult and unintuitive navigation, with confusing tab switching (e.g., scrolling issues between news and leaderboard).
Login requirements are complicated and necessary even for basic features, which annoys users.
Inadequate access to individual race results and limited coverage of actual race action.

2025-01-19	Ja*****	It doesn't even work. Tells me I have an unstable connection every time I open the app.

2024-02-23	Th*****	Why do we need a login and why make it such a complicated password requirement? I basically only use this app to check the date and time of the next race and login requirements are more stringent then my email. Can't be bothered anymore.

2024-01-14	Pe*****	I login and my credentials appear to be accepted but then I get an "Oops something went wrong" screen which I can't get past. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but with the same result. The app doesn't work for me.

2024-01-12	Le*****	So far it's been a terrible experience. Downloaded the app several times and reset my password just as many times. It keeps giving me the finger. This is not only on my PC, but across all my devices.

2023-09-24	Ga*****	Really dislike this new update. All I want is news and results, now I have to sign in and attempt to earn reward points, which I assume will give me nothing useful. A poor choice on the part of SailGP!

2023-09-09	Ar*****	It was crashing quite often when trying to watch LA grand prix, and streaming keept failing. Also very often when switching orientation. This seems to be fixed, but now it is impossible to scroll up/down on news, as it keeps magically switching left/right to leaderboard. Also, watching videos from news is restricted to small window, switching orientation doesn't work, and taping on full screen neither. Too bad, good concept/ idea... just low quality app. And no response whatsoever from support.

2023-09-09	Fi*****	Really difficult to find your way around. Trying to watch news updates/videos and screen keeps sliding to leaderboard page. Will probably delete

2023-07-26	Pa*****	Disappointing coverage. As an F18 catamaran racer, I get this stuff. I want to see more boat on boat action. Please STOP CUTTING AWAY FROM BOAT CROSSINGS AND MARK ROUNDINGS, only to show some closeup / moving shot of somebody scrambling across one of the boats, as the camera pans accross the stern, completely obscuring the true boat vs. boat maneuver.

2023-07-07	Pe*****	Slow, clunky, and the news option hasn't worked for the last week. The season is about to start tomorrow and the app needs some serious work...... It's now a month since I posted this review and the"News" option still doesn't work on Android or Apple versions. The App remains slow to initialise in both versions and not very user friendly. For such a great sport, and with so many people worldwide following it, the App is a real disappointment.
