Default Results and reports from Seniors"

I am trying to look at the tracking info for individual gliders at the recent Seniors Championship. I opened results and reports on the SSA web site and see a number of small squares with alpha numerics under them. Nothing indicating individual gliders. When I click on one I am informed that I need to choose an app to run the info. My computer, a MacBook Pro has no loaded app for this. I searched for an app and one was not available. Can this not be done on a Mac? What do I need to do to see the tracking of individual gliders if possible?

BTW, I climbed to 6075 feet near Seminole Lake yesterday, mostly a blue sky day, just a few Cu but my best climb yet.

Thanks,

Walt

Instead of clicking on the link, you should save the target file to
your computer. In this case it is a .zip archive file. Then you can
open the .zip file on your computer and extract the log files in .igc
format. Then, assuming you have an app installed to view igc files,
you can see the flights.

What app do you recommend to view these files on the SSA website? I understand that See You is required.
