I got YBRaces only because of limited computer access during the race I'm following, and I could hardly be more dissatisfied. First, YBRaces crashes often. But worse than that, it hangs up my iPad completely, forcing me to restart every time. To make matters worse, when it actually does run, it offers only the most basic of features. The online Flash-based tracking through Yellowbrick is really impressive and quite rich in features, while YBRaces looks and performs like it was thrown together at the last second by the company's most incompetent programmer.
Some of my particular frustrations are:
- Boat photos don't show up
- Wind speed/direction data constantly "unavailable"
- Difficult to select one individual boat... Can't zoom in enough
- No map on GUI (this thing is ugly!) making it harder to track progress against familiar coastal towns
- Where are the rest of the features!?
Yellowbrick has put as little effort into YBRaces as possible, and it shows. Bottom line: DO NOT GET YBRaces!
