by F####:

Simple and useful, but pricey, and not perfect. Some words/letters are missing when you tap on a definition from the main text. Links to other rules/sections just don't work. Makes for a slightly frustrating yet manageable experience.

Z70%
by Z####:

Super convenient. I was always losing my hardcopies before. Definitely worth the money

Update: Now that its been fixed I can upgrade my review. I find the App convenient when on the water.

E70%
by E####:

All this app adds to the RRS is a crude user interface, some hyperlinks, and the USS Prescriptions. For extra $$ it allows you to buy the Perry URRS and links it in. There are still bugs. Ie Can't use URSS when you are too far from a cell tower, and hyperlink to flags crash app. US Sailing would be wise to replace app with an eBook or hyperlinked PDF.

RRS is a great thing to have. Add in the Dave Perry content and it's awesome. The combined package for basically 10 bucks is a deal. I'm a CRO and Judge. The price is two beers. Wow. USS could do a better job explaining the bundle, but they're always terrible at that kind of thing. Support the sport, encourage future products like this. And kudos to the dev folks, responsive and helpful. Now let's get Appeals and Cases.

Also allows embedded Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing 2013-2016. Indespensible for Race Officers, Judges, and serious racers. The ISAF pdf file includes neither.

Purchased app from google play but it goes black after displaying the front page. Looking for update.

This app by itself is useful but very expensive for what is just a version of the rules with a few links to the definitions. A PDF of the rules has the same information content for free. However once you add the upgrade "Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing" it becomes very useful. No need to tote Perry's book; the explanations are right at hand as are his helpful diagrams. The combination is still too expensive but you do get some real value for your money. Had a problem, got fast response!

Hands down a totally handy and awesome app. Gives you on demand rules for racing and helpful depictions to explain the complexities. Totally worth wild to pay the extra to get the bonus diagrams and explanations.

The app description says the app includs stuff from Dave Perry. Not so, when you click on the link to take you to "Understanding" you have the opportunity to spend another $5.99, to get something form Dave. I was miss led on this, the email pitch from US Ailing said I would get content and diagrams from "Understanding". NOT SO!. The description also says " This In-App product contains over 100 quotes, illustrations and references to the US Sailing Appeals and ISAF Cases ". Cannot find anything like that so far. Maybe that will be another $$$? Don't buy this, just down load the free PDF and use your PDF viewer to search and bookmark, save your $5. And, I dislike that the price is the same for members and non members. My club tries to encourage US Sailing membership by giving discount on race entries. I am surprised that US Sailing does not do the same.
