I purchased the this app Wind Vane while in preproduction. After 5 vanes,I finally got a working vane 2 months ago. I will not go into all the troubles that I had here.
I am very disappointed in SailTimer also. After all my troubles with the hardware, I can’t get SailTimer to do what is promised.
When I launch SailTimer , I often can’t get the maps to load. When they do, I do not get a ground speed read out. I have been unable for the polar plot to “learn”. Positioning on my boat is critical to get SailTimer to connect to the vane.
I can’t figure out how to get SailTimer to go from present position to a way point.
I have spent hundreds of dollars and messed with several vanes over several years and still have not been able to get a fully functioning product.
I must say, that even though tech/customer support has sometimes been a tad rough on me, they have always supported their product.
I purchased the this app wind instrument and have so far been very disappointed. After a long wait, my wind sensor arrived heavily scratched and with a battery that will only reach half a charge. The this app app eventually connected to the device but drops off frequently. Tech support is only through email and my technical questions emails have gone unanswered. Return policy is essentially a joke. Lots of promise on the design side but the company appears to lack the organization to make all the parts and pieces actually work.
Five Star hype. No stars for substance. The one star is in default to get this review to print. How disappointing. Such a great idea. Maybe it will upgrade someday and I'll have something for my time & $.
Rubbish on the ipod touch. Until they allow the current position to be set manually (ie without GPS) it is functionally useless.
After years of frustration on my end - and a lot of patience on their part-I now have a beautiful setup and a reliable display using Mid WIFI. I am using an iPad mini now. - latest version All of the other times I was using a full size iPad. The mini seems to work 500% better. Customer service on their side stuck with me. Great job.
The this app is perfect and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. So glad I can save my waypoints, and time how long it will take me to get to my destinations. But it does so much more than that! If your looking for a great tacking app/GPS for sailing, you found one! I recommend!
Great product for the active sailor. I'm eagerly waiting for new wind instrument.

• Audio Navigation: when using the wireless Wind Instrument, optionally hear wind conditions or boat speed when they change by more than a set amount.
But if they do not know the distance you will travel, how can they calculate your correct ETA? SailTimer gives you a quick and easy display of your optimal tacks and TTD™ (Tacking Time to Destination).
Click the Graph button and you can save or share a graph showing your boat speed and wind speed.
Sailing off the wind increases boat speed but lengthens the distance.
Display your optimal tacks on a chart, and the exact distance and time on each tack.
