Getting ready for a regatta, and was psyched to try this thing out. It installed fine on my phone but won’t even appear to allow me to install it on my Apple Watch 4. Don’t think it has been updated for the new watch but it is not disclosed anywhere. Gonna ask for my money back.

Developer Response
Ben - we are sorry you are having trouble. This application works fine on all version of the Apple Watch. A possible reason it did not install is if the iOS and watchOS versions were out of sync between your phone and watch. There are other ways to troubleshoot this. Please contact us at support@tack-x.com or through our Facebook page for support.

I had high hopes for this App. It installed fine. The iPhone app is nice but I was looking for a regatta watch. The iPhone isn’t practical for a small boat. Wish this would work with my Apple Watch… sent an email to support. Waiting for a response.

The watch app loses 20 seconds in 5 minutes. Great if you want to be late for every start and mystified why they aren’t calling OCS on everyone else. iPhone version seems ok.

The interface has been fully redesigned. The Apple Watch can be used independently of the phone. Performance and battery life improvements have been made. Richer integration with HealthKit allows you to treat your sailing as a workout. Swipe left or right interfaces allow easy navigation of features in a logical order.
