So useful! I'm a beginner and this app is really helping me understand some of the basics with their videos and ebooks. Plus I'm discovering a lot of kitesurfing spots thanks to it. Great!!!
Handy and Promising. Love the vCard and handy resources like the gallery with nice posters illustrating RoW, wind window etc. Wish the job listing was searchable/filtered by region & start month/date. Same for the list of schools. When/where kite spot list is a great idea that needs to be refined.
Great app! very easy to use and has plenty of instructional material! great for any kitesurfer regardless of their level of experience
very slow between pages. also most of it is just loading the web page, which is faster in a real browser (but still slow)
Off late it's not been working at all. Trying to complete my profile for the last few weeks and it always is unable to complete. Please check this thank you
Mediocre at best. Text keeps flashing in and out at times, making the ebooks a pain to study.
Everything useful is locked and requires payment. Only absolute beginners stuff in it.
The app is unstable and lagging and very slow, needs a lot of improvements
The new videos are awesome, keep it up.
very nice aides much better than before with the card thanks iko))
Easy to use!
requires internet connection. e-book was not very useful cause i can't zoom in. it's impossible to read all those things if you can't zoom in. i'd like to be able to download the e-book onto my phone.
Very great app, i especially like the eBooks and the V-card features.
Won't start on my Moto G4 crashes on startup.
The kitesurfer's app. Great work - 5 stars.
Very interesting safety tips
Beautiful vCard and the eBooks are great!
Aside from certifying your Level, this app does little for free. Even the two free eBooks are App-based only (no PC download option) and hard to read. The annotations for the diagrams are too small to see on a phone and the "Kitesize/Wind/Weight" table in the Equipment Guide doesn't show a column for "Wind strength" or it doesn't fit on my Galaxy S10 screen. App doesn't support rotation to view in Landscape mode nor zoom. UPDATE: Free eBooks are blank on Win10 app. No joy!
