"Finally an app that actually covers the rules properly. The scenario diagrams are brilliant — I can see exactly where the boats are and work out the answer before checking."

"Used this to prep for my club's protest training day. The protest guide is clear and concise. Knowing the procedure gave me real confidence when a protest came up in the regatta."

"The daily challenge keeps me honest. Five minutes every morning and I've already noticed my on-water decisions are sharper. The streak feature is addictive in the best way."
