User Reviews

YB Races Android app is easy to use, fast, and strong for tracking races, with clear visuals and useful live-positioning. Users also find it handy for briefing others and viewing results, and some report good customer support. However, reliability is a major problem: frequent crashes, freezes, or failure to load; live-tracking can fail for certain events; users complain about missing features versus the website and no mobile web option; a navigation bug can jump the chart to the wrong vessel.

Pros

Easy to use and quick
Strong live-tracking and race progress viewing
Appealing graphics/visuals
Useful for briefing others about yacht locations
Responsive customer support (helpful when issues arise)

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, or failure to load/open; app reliability is poor
Live-tracking can be unreliable or fail for certain events (e.g., KOH, specific races)
Feature gap vs website: no mobile web option and limited data beyond the map
Navigation bug where tapping a vessel scrolls to a different vessel
Some users report needing reinstallation to get the app working
