Latest reviews of SailingQuiz app for iPhone and iPad

Helpful, not perfect
App is certainly helpful in studying and still worth buying, but here are a few negatives: Example pictures are misleading, its all text (or I dont remember any images). It would be nice to take one test at a time (like ASA 101 only). 500 questions in one go is way too long of a testing feature to be useful. And it appears to grab from random categories so you effectively cant test in a particular section.
Excellent sailing tool
Im new to sailing so this app was a great way for me to hone my knowledge and prepare me for getting my certifications. Very well done and professional presentation of the info!
Very helpful but flawed
The quiz is extremely helpful in identifying area of strength and, more important, weakness. The one major problem is that the App crashes nearly to the end of the second section. When this is repaired, it will be a dynamite App for every sailor.
Not bad
Crashes half way through the quiz. Also, the test should be able to be taken in one of the 3 categories. 500 questions is to long.
Good but....
Good learning app but crashes toward the end of the exam section which is very frustrating. Also exam is too long - should be broken down between ASA 101/3 & 4
