  • Crap

    App is over a day behind. Does nothing you would want a app to do. Trash
  • Terrible

    Does rarely track Celebrity? Says they cannot be tracked as they are out to sea??? WHY WOULDN’T THEY BE! They are cruise ships! SAVE YOUR $$$ on this one..
  • Informative and incredible

    Neat app. Great learning tool!
  • Frustrating

    Tried the upgrade because the free addition showed only a few ships in harbors and none moving. Even though I could see them. The upgrade shows no ships. Again I can see them. Waste of money
  • Dont track well!

    Don’t know what they use to track ships but don’t work well, not even if the ship is a shore.
    I have been following the allure of the seas and for the past 2 days got no report, they had stopped in San Juan P R and in Haiti and still showing the ship in around St Thomas
    No reliable app!
  • Where did the NOAA charts layover go?

    I have used this app for months and loved it. It is a valuable asset for doing my job.
    I especially loved the NOAA chart layover.
    Yesterday, when I wanted to use my app all of a sudden the NOAA charts were gone.
    Restoring purchases didn’t bring them back, reinstalling the app didn’t do the trick and I don’t see any option to select the NOAA charts layover as I was able in the past.
    Please help!

  • Doesn't work all the time

    This app has not been working consistently for the past month. Can see tankers and cargo ships cruising by condo but they are not shown on the app. Has something changed since this app seemed to be dependable until recently.
  • Not very impressive

    When I first downloaded the app, it worked great. I can see the ship moving toward its destination... It was very cool. On day 2, I keep getting messages that the ship cannot be tracked, but when I check online through a different site, I get updated information within a ten minute window. Pop up adds are irritating... Need to spend more time providing the service instead of showing ads. I'm glad I didn't purchase the app. I would have thrown money out of the window. Proceed with caution.

  • Other Apps do a better job.

    I don't really know the details of these ship reporting apps go grab their data, I just know that when I use this one and compare it to Marine Traffic or BoatNerd's AIS, they always seems to have a better representation of what I know is out there. As an example, the Soo Locks opened for traffic today and I know two boats are nearby waiting, and the Boat Watch app shows nothing. I pop over to Marine Traffic, and I see the two along with the supporting ice breakers. By the way, this is not an uncommon issue, and I can easily find other examples of this on a daily basis.

  • No info

    I was so excited to download Boat Watch. I live on Lake Erie on the East side of Cleveland, Ohio. I see ships multiple times a week and at all hours of the day and night. The free version of Boat Watch was so impressive I decided to spend $4.99 for the better one. Now every time I see a ship, I open the app. And EVERY time, the ship that I can SEE out my back window is not shown on my app. I get no information and it simply isn't visible on the app. I would not have even taken the time to write a bad review except that when I went to rate the app through the app, the developers made it impossible. If you want to rate the app a 3 or lower, they reroute you to contact the developers. I clicked on the email link and the app FROZE. I tried multiple times and even tried after rebooting my iPhone. It was then that I decided I should alert others. I do not recommend buying this app.
