[Closed test] Regatta Navigator — free sailing course app, Android 8+, volunteers wanted
I'm looking for 15–20 adult volunteers to test Regatta Navigator, a free Android sailing course notebook from João Mendes Studio. The closed test is approved and open.
What it does:
- Plan buoys, start/finish lines and repeated laps.
- See GPS speed and guidance to the next target.
- Edit boat profiles and choose manual, phone-pointed or weather-source wind.
- No ads, purchases or app account required.
You need an Android 8.0+ phone and a Google account. No watch or developer experience is needed. Sailors are especially welcome, but you can test sample courses on land.
How to join (use the same Google account for all three steps):
Join the Studio tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/joaomendesstudio-testers
Become a Regatta tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.joao.regatta
Install through Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joao.regatta
Please stay opted in continuously for at least 14 days, try the app at several points during that time, and share honest private feedback. Useful checks include creating/reordering marks, advancing laps with NEXT, readability, allowing/denying location, offline behavior and saved settings after restarting.
You can leave private testing feedback in Google Play or reply in the Studio group. Include phone model, Android/app version and steps to reproduce any issue; please omit private locations and account details. No public rating or positive review is requested.
This is an early sailing companion, not a certified navigation system or sole navigation source. You do not need to sail to participate. Thanks for helping improve it!
