  • Mukluk

    Terrible around Puerto Rico
  • Used to be Useful - No More

    This used to be a reliable useful app but it has gradually got worse. Now the data is lagging behind to such an extent that it is no use to me. I need to know the location of ferries in the Canary Islands but because of the issues I no longer trust it. I can be watching a ferry come into port but the app says it hasn’t left the port of origin. Using MarineTraffic now.

  • Latest update is terrible.

    Very difficult to navigate this site since the last update. Difficult to use my fleet and unknown vessels appearing in my fleet which cannot be removed. The previous version was far, far better. If not drastically improved I will be cancelling my subscription.
  • Has not updated our position for over 2 days?

    When it works it is great but it seems a bit hit and miss. According to VesselFinder I am off of Ibiza but I’m actually in Mallorca. Not much help when you have people watching your progress and worrying. Marine Traffic knows where we are as do all the boats around us as our AIS is fine. Ok I am using free version but if they can not make this work properly then I will not part with money to discover if other versions work or not. Hope you can fix this but it has happened all to often over past 3 years so I have given up :(

  • Just deleted this app

    This used to be a handy little App with lots of info, photos etc, but now it is a complete waste of time. I have just deleted it as it won’t provide the name of a ship when you click on the ship icon! What good is that? I assume they want you to upgrade to the Pro version but $14.99 is a bit steep when there are other free apps around with way more information.

  • Best free tracking app

    Provides latest vessel location update and est arrival date
  • Crap

    Unreliable. Searched results are always weeks from last known location. Most cargo vessels in my area are marked unnamed /generic cargo vessels. I had the paid version as well. Not worth the download!
  • Times are only in UTC

    Before update would be in local time.
    Don’t see a way to turn off UTC
  • Happy with update

    The new update is great. Important info is easier to access. Also seems to use less memory. I was beginning to look at other apps, but not anymore. Thank you.
  • Disappointed

    Data frozen, screen not refreshing despite closing app and restarting. A vessel I was tracking showed as being in one spot for over two hours!! Still showing the same place when the boat was back in its boathouse !!

    Developer Response

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. A new version of the app has been released, which includes major changes in the interface and the performance. Please make sure to update to the latest version.
