For Organizers
- Verify you've subscribed to one of the pricing plans
- Use your PC to create new events — this is not available in the Tracking app
- Try logging out and logging back in
- Contact support to check your account
- Use the Kwindoo Race Committee app to reposition marks while physically at each buoy's location
- Use GPS coordinates of the boat — enter DD system coordinates in Race Manager
- After the race, use the Power Editor to adjust mark positions based on actual boat tracks
- Delete duplicate classes from different races
- Use custom boat classes to differentiate races
- Note: boats cannot be moved between races once they have entered
- Verify start/finish line positioning and passing directions are accurate
- Make the start line in Kwindoo wider and positioned further forward
- Check mark rounding directions are correctly set
- Contact support to recalculate race data if necessary
Kwindoo is not an official regatta scoring system and cannot handle handicap calculations.
Make sure you've selected a specific race from the dropdown list before clicking the Export button.
For Racers
- Disable battery optimization for the Kwindoo Tracking app and enable background running — visit dontkillmyapp.com for device-specific instructions
- Update to the latest version of the app
- Keep your phone adequately charged — consider using a power bank for longer races
- For persistent issues, contact support with: phone model, Android version, app version, and screen recordings
iOS devices generally provide more stable performance. If any issue occurs on iOS, contact us at [email protected].
- Make sure you use the latest version of the tracking app
- If data is still loading, log out and log in again
- For persistent issues, contact support with: phone model, OS version, app version, and screenshots
- Ensure your phone has sufficient battery
- Avoid using the tracking phone for other activities during races
- Android: Verify the app is allowed to run in background processes
- iOS: Enable precise location services
- Consider having a backup phone with another crew member
- Check your profile settings in the app — coordinates may be waiting to upload
For Viewers
- Spectators should download "Kwindoo Live View", not the Tracking app
- No registration needed — just click on the event in the Event List
- Alternatively, use the tracking view website on a PC
Tip for organizers: Clearly communicate which app to download — "Kwindoo for Racers" (Tracking) and "Kwindoo Live View" (for spectators).
