SAVED
all my life I have wanted to be a sailor. Everyday I would slave away at memorizing my points of sail. Now that I have this app, Top Sailer has saved my bread. I have been nominated for president sailor in my region. I am one of the best sailors in the world. The characters are so real and feel like close friends after the years. Lovely app 10/10!

Great game!
The graphics are good, the controls are spot on. And overall it’s a great game.

Best sailing game to date!
Outstanding graphics and realism.
Unbelievable courses. Beautiful.
Request the camera button be relocated away from he sail trim slider.
Please for the love of God, have the option to move the rudder to the left side of the screen. 2 reasons; 1. Its more ergonomic. Instead of stretching your hand and loosing the ability to reach full right rudder because the main sheet is in the way - it’ll always have full range and feel more natural to how we hold the screen.
1. Always at the most inopportune times, such as when stretching your finger over to the far side of the screen to tack, if your f

Yeah! It’s back!
Thank you for updating this to work on iOS 11+. It’s my favorite thing on the whole iPhone and I really missed it! I have a cruiser but this gives you such a feeling of the wind and water that I don’t miss an advanced sail plan like some other critics want. It’s simple and wonderful. Don’t change! Oh except... haha. The wind sound seems to be more extreme than the wind conditions. A fine tune if any. I really love this app!

No updates for future versions iOS
Just purchased and first thing that pops up is a note saying future versions of iOS will not run it unless developer updates.

Won't save your info
I enjoy the game so far....BUT everytime I work through the training and start doing races....it won't remember and give me credit.... So next time I want to play I have to totally start from scratch.

Not really good
The title says it all. It's ok but I would say buy a different one. I got bored with it after 10 min.

Not for yacht racing fans
It's a great game if you enjoy recreational sailing and or want to get a basic idea on how it works. But I found it a bit dissatisfying if your into yacht races because the boats do not have a jib or spinnaker nether does it use the 2 way floating marks but rather one way gates. Great start but could use improvement. Personally I would love it if there where more boats to chose from especially larger ones with a jib. A plus over other apps I've seen-the ability to furl your sail in heavy conditions, the amazing graphics and a great toutorial!

Great!!!
You should be able to do free rides and have more boat options and like another person said like you could enter places but overall it is a great game
J-Boy52692014-11-07

Good but...
You need to add like entering the cabin and different styles of boats and bigger sizes

Meh, kind of boring. Confined to race courses only.
Physics and graphics and controls are all good, but I expected something closer to Virtual Sailor by Hangsim (on PC), which is more open world sailing. As it is though, you are confined to small race events and courses.

Excellent sailing simulator!!
I am a sailing instructor and I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the simulation and the game! Excellent!

Good
Love the program except the camera perspective changes at the worse times and then I am stuck trying to fix it. Ultimately losing precious points earned in previous games. The new update hasn't helped.

No tiller
I criticized this app for not having the tiller work like a real sailboat (moving tiller to port moves the boat to starboard and vice versa). Also could not locate wind and boat speed. Then I just figured out how to correct the tiller issue. Under setting (tools button), then click controls, then scroll way down to advanced settings (can't see these settings on ipad without scrolling), then there's an option to reverse tiller action. Also, there's an advanced setting for wind and boat speed. I'm much happier now. Very good practice tool for adjusting sails and headings.

Nice foundation but clumsy UI spoils it
The sailing physics are quite nice. Solid simulation foundation. Quite like the game.
Unfortunately, much of it gets spoiled by the interaction and UI. The most annoying thing is the camera. In almost every race I accidentally move the camera, looking up into the sky or backwards, causing me to capsize or do some other unfortunate maneuver. The left, right and bottom areas should be completely reserved for steering controls instead of having the available touch area limited to the actual icon. Also, instead of the view toggle button, I'd prefer explicit view buttons that can be accessed quic

Wind direction is too variable
Great little sailing simulator, but the changing direction of the wind is definitely over the top. That part can be super frustrating sometimes. Otherwise, I love playing this game.

Almost perfect for anyone who sails
For solo dingy sailing, the accuracy of how the boat handles is amazing. This game would be perfect if the races had starting sequences and judged penalties by who had right of way. Although sailing lacks speed and has a very discouraging learning curve, this game has more depth than most (if not all) of the iOS racing genre.

Realistic
This is a great simulator for a mobile device. Wind mechanics are spot on. My only complaints are that there should be many different kinds of boats to choose from and you should be able to exactly what windspeed to sail. All-in-all, a terrific game!

Fun
Like to see a variation in boat choices and diffrent sized boats. Fun game none the less

Excellent sim!
Great feel, using indicators that are as subtle as you care to make them. Lots of options, and the races are unpredictable and fun. Overall, a great game for dinghy sailors!

Ship simulator
Well this doesn't compare with the other simulation games for the PC. This game is average I give it 2 ⭐⭐

Very good sailing simulator
I am a newbie sailor and I tried sailX for a bit but did not like it. This one is perfect for me on ipad mini. It works well, has many compulsory tutorials that forces you to learn and each race takes a realistic amount of time. I noticed that I had the same problems here that I had in real sailing which allows me to improve my weak areas through playing the game. Some minor annoyances for which I docked a star.
- often I wish there was a way toggle to another view
- capsizing is a bit weak. You just don't see it coming to prevent it.
- graphics are okay - nothing fancy. But I was looking for

Fantastic
Fun racing. The wind shifts are a little predictable on the more advanced courses, but overall, great sailing sim.

Great sim. I recommend this highly. BEST sailing sim/game on IOS
Some VERY nice updates have been done since I first posted a review, so I have to update. It's becoming more polished. Surely a great sailing sim. Now to new suggestions.
After I tip it's hard to get going, I find it has me in "player view control mode?" until the sail is up. I would like to lock my view.
For example. I pick "sailer view" from the option. I then want to be closer, so I use fingers to ZOOM in more and get lower to the water to get more of a "in boat" view and feel. It would be nice to be able to "SAVE" and lock that view so that I don't accidentally move/change the view

A Waste
This is a very difficult program to use and on top of that, no instructions on how to use the program. The techniques of sailing are ok, it's the mechanics of the program that gives me pause.

Please port this to Mac app store!!
I've been looking for a good sailing simulator for the Mac platform for years. Thanks goodness at the very least I have this app on my iPhone. It is one of the best dinghy sailing simulator I have ever tried. I feel like it is actually making me a better sailor. Would love to be able to use this on the big screen on my iMac!
