Ok

Ottimo ausilio per la navigazione. Non lo conoscevo. Mi ha cambiato il modo di andare in barca

Last version 4.0.7 is unusable !

I was a big user of squid. I have released a lot of knowhow to other sailors but the new version is a joke. Map not appear, functions are not available, simply … unusable! I am paying it and during this period with a lot of regatta this is a nightmare. I am moving to other product

Bella ma senza polari… inutile

L’applicazione è bella e sarebbe anche molto utile, peccato che non puoi mettere le polari della tua barca quindi in questo modo è praticamente inutile

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We just reintroduced this feature in the release 4.0.14. You can now import your custom polars into the the app. Let us know what you think!
