Vendée Globe Erfahrungen und Bewertung

Wer macht bloß sowas? Selten eine so schlechte App gesehen, VendéeGlobe vom Ocean Race war schon richtig schlecht, aber VendéeGlobe übertrifft alles an schlechte Programmierung.

The developers have learned absolutely nothing in 4 years. The live tracker is completely confusing and is only updated every 4 hours. The display jumps back and forth at random. Typical French "quality work". Simply disgustingly bad.

Cannot set favorites
Default 3D-View of boats is confusing
Change of settings is not stored
No button to zoom on fleet or leading skippers

no landscape view, favorites function does not work, button to configure the card disappears

.

Honestly guys, the tracker sucks biggie, doesn’t memorize my choice of favorites, starts up looking somewhere inland Europe… the interesting part THE BOATS (in case you forgot) barely visible at the bottom left corner of the screen… not sure what the „options“ near the zoom buttons do, for me nothing !!! Shouldn’t the crosshairs zoom the field of boats or maybe even the selection on the left sidebar with skippers ?!?! I wish there was a better app around….

The 3D boats are not an improvement and make it much more difficult to identify the boats. Please deactivate them by default and also remember the last opened view like the tracker.

Only portrait mode, not optimal for tablets
Multiple dialog what is new
Big boat pictures allow no overview of the big field

The view with the sails is nice, but gets confusing as long as there are many belts nearby. When zooming with your fingers on the iPhone, you unintentionally select a skipper and lose the overview...
If you have clicked on a boat with the details and close this window again, the originally selected view changes and you are somewhere else on the map.
