Mediocre at best. Text keeps flashing in and out at times, making the ebooks a pain to study.

Hard to do worse, it's not pretty, super slow and crashes often. It's basically the website but worse. I hope it didn't cost a lot

Dear God it's horrible, not a single function works. Won't update my certification level, won't let me read messages, won't let me find my instructor, won't save any of my profile changes, won't update my number. WHY DOES THIS APP EXIST? TO TORMENT ME?

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.

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!
