Description
This is a free evaluation copy of iRegatta Pro, where you can test the features for 4 minutes. You can buy access to the features you like to use as In-App purchases, or you can buy the Pro version to have Basic, NMEA and AIS features included.
The built-in GPS unit and the unique graphical possibilities of these devices, make them ideal for such an application.
IMPORTANT: iRegatta requires internal GPS or Bluetooth/WiFi connection to NMEA data, to get the sailing data required for calculations.
iRegatta has been available for iPhone/iPad for years, and has a lot of useful features. Now the Android version has similar features, except that NMEA instrument data also can be used with a BlueTooth connection (or a Wifi connection).
If you have a Android phone anyway, this is a cheap way to introduce you to the benefits of a GPS device, to help you leverage your regatta sailing performance.
A downside is of course the fact that most phones are not waterproof! But there are products out there, you can put your device into, to make it waterproof and still be able to operate it while sailing. In this way you can either mount it near your other instruments on your keelboat or strap it to your arm if you are sailing a dinghy.
Features:
Main View. Here you can see your 4 most important readouts, for instance Heading, Speed, VMG and Wind Direction.
By tapping and holding one of the 4 main readouts for 2 seconds, they become configurable. Scroll down the list to chose the information you want to display. Many of the possible readouts are only updated if you have NMEA input. If navigating towards a waypoint, you can configure your readouts to display distance/bearing.
There is also a lift indicator, showing you if you have been lifted by a wind shift, and graphs showing the development in your speed and VMG over a configurable amount of time and a performance bar.
Wind direction. Set your wind direction by storing your heading while sailing on upwind on starboard and port tack, or simply type it in.
Start view. Here you have your count down (including sync), and you can mark your starting line and iRegatta will calculate the distance to the line and indicate the favorite line end, if wind direction is set.
Waypoints. Navigate to your favorite pre-stored waypoints, create a route of waypoints or create a new temporary waypoint by distance/bearing.
Statistics view. Here you can see your location, Max speed and Trip odometer. On the left hand side there is a polar diagram - tap it and it'll increase in size. Change the wind speed to see the different polars. These polars are the base for the performance bar in the race view.
NMEA If you choose to turn on "NMEA input via BlueTooth" in the iRegatta setting, you will be able to receive instrument information from your boat, if it's able to transmit NMEA information using BlueTooth.
Be aware that information from different instruments can be transmitted in different NMEA syntaxes. Not all NMEA syntaxes are implemented in iRegatta.
AIS If you have an AIS receiver that transmits AIS data as NMEA sentences, an AIS radar-like display will show all vessel information received.
Recent changes: Many new improvements and features including: * New waypoints and routes list * Create Hazards (separately to waypoints) * User selectable symbols for waypoints and hazards * Tap a value to temporarily cycle through different units * Calypso Ultrasonic Portable wind instrument compatibility (use the BT LE button to set up) * One-touch SailTimer instrument selection (briefly hold the SailTimer button) * Many others

The App is fundamentally very good however I struck an unexpected annoying surprise with the NMEA data extension that I purchased (regatta+N, version 4.07 Android version with regatta NMEA extension). The tablet I am using has internal GPS and internal compass which I wanted to use with regatta. I have separate Wind and Speed instruments and set up a NMEA 0183 to Wi-Fi gateway to transmit the following NMEA sentences to the tablet and regatta App: - VHW Speed through water. - MWV Apparent Wind Direction and Speed. I was hoping to use these NMEA signals in addition to the internal GPS and compass to provide the full set of inputs for regatta. However, under regatta Settings - NMEA Input - Choose Instrument Data Source; there are only 4 available selections: - Internal GPS - Bluetooth NMEA - Wi-Fi TCP NMEA - Wi-Fi UDP NMEA If Wi-Fi (TCP or UDP) NMEA is selected regatta stops using the internal GPS data. The internal compass continues to be used. If using NMEA data, the only solution presently to obtain GPS appears to be that you need to install an external GPS with NMEA output. I am resigned to having to go ahead and do this and unfortunately will need to drop the Speed Through Water data as my Wi-Fi Gateway only has two NMEA ports.

Used to love it Not compatible with lollipop due to Wi-Fi issues. Lollipop won't connect to a Wi-Fi network if there is no Internet connection.

Nag ware in middle of race start countdown! Started nagging me to do in-app purchases *during* a start countdown, and then paused the clock with no way to resume.
