Description

The YB Tracking iPhone/iPad app allows you to follow live race
tracking on your mobile - updated to feature everything we track
including yacht races, car rallies, adventure racing and more.

Information in the race viewer is also controlled by the race
organisers - not YB Tracking. For instance, if a race organiser has
not provided pictures for the teams, then pictures will not appear in
this app or on our web-based viewer.

Key features:

- See information about the teams in the race
- View live leaderboards
- Review the map, course and wind info (where available)
- Zoom to all teams, leaders, and the course area
- Social media feed with news about the race
- Replay facility, to allow you to scrub backwards and forwards in time

Note: This app requires an internet connection to operate

Kinda functional, poor user interface design

I appreciate this is a free app and by and large it works ok. However there’s no obvious way to remove races you’re no longer interested in, which reflects a generally poor user experience.

I’ve also noticed that I will sometimes have to launch the app three or four times before it actually works.

Very unstable app

This app is gradually getting less stable. Lack of development and updates is showing with various usability issues being encountered. For example (using the RORC Myth of Malham race) the app has frozen 3 times during zoom. It now only loads with a blank page or displays the map but is locked.
Yellow Brick you need to do more work on this as it won’t cope with the Fastnet 2023.

Looks good but doesn’t update

Just downloaded the app to follow the GGR2022. Worked the first few days of the race - now no longer updating positions.
This requires setting up laptop and looking at the website.
It will be extremely frustrating if this is the best it can do as the race will be over nine months!
