ASA's Sailing Challenge Hack 4.1.0 + Redeem Codes

And by new I mean from a land locked state and the closest you’ve gotten to a sailboat is lake “whatever” near your hometown where you might see a handful of smaller sailboats on occasion but only at a distance this app is great for running over some fundamental basics of how wind works upon a sail, which in turn explains how your sailboat moves under different sail orientations. As well as the very basic idea of right of way, and docking under sail power only which way more people sailing should be used to doing imo.

The app I definitely worth the cost of a Starbucks for this knowledge in an easy to understand and repeatable way to practice.

Over time I’m sure it will receive even more polish through feedback. But if you just want to dip your toe into the water as it were and learn some very basic concepts and ideas it’s worth it, plus it gives you a nice way to kill time stuck at an airport or in a cab ride while you are having basic concepts repeatedly drilled into your brain until it’s second nature.

I’m very encouraged by ASA’s embracing of technology to teach new folks. Videos, apps, etc. well done ASA!

I'm planning to sail for the first time in about 2 weeks. Ive spent many years using small motor boats and don't plan to spend several hundred dollars taking classes to learn to sail the $500 used sailboat I bought. I've read lots of information and watched a bunch of videos so I thought I had a grasp on the basics from a technical standpoint. This app actually put my knowledge to the test much better than I expected and while I'm probably still going to struggle a bit, I'm going to be way more prepared after getting some feel for the wind and sail reaction. I might provide an update after I take my maiden voyage if I'm still alive.

I was hoping to start introductory sailing classes during this quarter of college but stay-at-home orders cancelled all of the upcoming classes. I have been very excited to learn and didn’t want to put it on hold. So, I got a few books and this app to teach myself the basics while at home. This app runs smooth, it has a simple design free of distractions, and, most importantly, it teaches you what sailing is all about. It has fun quizzes on terminology and fairly difficult course challenges to test your ability to maneuver. Thank you for the app. I let has allowed me to gain a sense of what it’s like to sail!

This app is a great starter for anyone wanting to learn the ins and outs of sailing. Even if all you're doing is watching a sailing event on TV, this app will help you understand what the participants are doing and give you greater appreciation for the sport. The modules are set up well and progressively teach the basics. I have a little trouble with the trim and helm controls, but younger users should do much better than this old fart! I have been sailing for years and can say this app is a great and inexpensive way to get your feet wet and learn whether sailing is for you. Just do it!

At first it's like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time but you quickly catch on and really groove in some sailing reactions. Fun and helpful to someone learning to sail. Really helps you to visualize various points of sail and their relative efficiency. I would like to see gauges with true and apparent wind speed to help me learn how tweaking the trim will effect those elements and boat speed at various points...that may be overwhelming for a beginner but would help as one learns. I would also like to be able to go back and repeat within modules without having to start all over Regardless, I'm enjoying it very much!

I completed sailing classes when I was in scouting. This was ~18 years ago, I’m interested in taking my family out on sailing adventures so I’m brushing up on sailing. I do like the game, the sounds our very relaxing. I would like to see a larger selection of boats and more elements in the virtual world. Some thoughts would be birds, smoke, more boats moving near you, and marker buoys for wave-point racing.

While I agree docking under sail is a list skill, many larger boats are easier to bring in under motor power, training this as a skill would aalso be helpful. (Wind and other boats to weave around)

I love sailing so when I saw this was available o got it right away. And I was happy to pay a couple bucks to get it. I don’t use this a ton but I like it every now and then.
But then you have to pay for every extra feature in the app, like different boats or variable wind - and it just feels like they are trying to squeeze every last penny out of this, which is so silly. I really wish they would get rid of that model. If I pay outright for an app, I expect to get full access, not partial.

Overall, pretty engaging as an instructional app to learn the basics of sailing in tandem with the Asa101 course. One bug in the advanced points of sale module that I wrote the devs about, other than that the graphics are good and UI is intuitive (although being able to choose which side the wheel vs trim controls are located would be cool). Having a sailing race would be a pretty cool future feature. But as is, quite engaging.

Plus: Very good educational app, the method used helps drill the basics and undeniably improved our experience on the water. No better training app that I can find on the stores.

Con: menu controls are too finicky on an iPhone, expects a pixel perfect response for the tests which becomes an annoying distraction when using an iPhone. For fingers larger than a 10yo, best experienced on an iPad. Otherwise UX should expand the control size or expand the regions on the controls for correct answers.

While I do think this game is amazing not only at teach the basics of sailing but is also just a downright fun game. I have two thing I would like to see improved.

For one I’d like to see the in app purchases gone, I already paid for the app I’m not gonna pay more for basic things like wind variations.

Second I’d like to see a first person view option, personally I think it helps with immersion. Which could help with learning
