Einmal öffnen und direkt wieder schließen. Schiffe aktualisieren sich nicht richtig und/oder werden nicht angezeigt. Schiff anklicken geht, Name wird nicht angezeigt. Wenn das nicht bald behoben wird, ist die App für mich nicht mehr nutzbar. Leider! ☹️ ### 2/5 — Doesn’t show boats in all areas *2019-12-25* For example doesn’t show any boats in the Chatham Islands or Chatham Rise whereas other trackers do. ### 2/5 — Weak database *2018-11-20, version 2.2* Can’t find many cruise ships. Not worth a fee. ### 2/5 — Waste of money! *2016-02-11, version 1.40* Poor tracking, never in the right location! Frustrating app and a waste of your money! Choose something else.... ### 2/5 — Сырой продукт *2015-11-29* Не знаю за что я отдал деньги! Те корабли которые бесплатно можно увидеть на компьютере, тут в приложение не показывает. Зато тут показывает корабль, который находится в горной, сухопутной местности Турции под флагом чешской республики под номером 270294344. Лепота.. ### 1/5 — Feel ripped of *2014-09-10, version 1.21* Reasonable app until latest upgrade, a function was removed, but no mention of it in notes, had paid for in app purchases, now have an app that has less functionality than before upgrade, feel ripped off ! ### 1/5 — Could be good *2014-05-09, version 1.17* Unfortunately after downloading this app I used the augmented reality function and now can't turn it off. Poor. ### 1/5 — Worst app I ever bought ! *2014-02-16, version 1.1* Works very bad. Does'nt show much boats. Bad tracking, some boats shows as they would be navigating on land... I'm very disapointed why this purchase, even more at a 5 $ price... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Falsche Positionen *2023-01-31, version 2.4.2* Die App zeigt meistens falsche Schiffs Positionen an . Vers. 2.4.2. Überhaupt kein Verlass mehr. ### 1/5 — Don’t touch it *2021-03-15, version 2.2* I certainly would not buy it again or recommend to anyone! It does not keep up with positions, always way behind! It really needs a complete overhaul and update to make it what it should be. ### 1/5 — Crappy *2021-01-15, version 2.2* Blank map no land or nav aids? Pretty boring! Crappy app wished now had not purchased it. Come on you guys do Better than this! ### 1/5 — 별도 아까움 1만원 날린셈 *2020-08-04* 쓰레기임 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work north of 60 degrees latitude. *2020-07-15* Their solution is their $14 app. Chance taken, $7.99 lost. ### 1/5 — Useless don’t buy *2020-01-12, version 2.2* Paid 7.99 for this and is not able to track the ships whilst other apps can. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-11-21, version 2.2* App has stopped opening on my iPad Pro and can’t find support. ### 1/5 — Review *2018-09-20, version 2.2* Absolutely hopeless. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Waste *2016-09-09* Don't waste your money ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-08-26* The information on what I track is always marked as out of date and the ship or boat out of range even though it just sent me an alert and it can't find boats I'm looking straight at even in a port. It shows the port of St. Paul as completely empty right now. And it couldn't find the huge paddlewheel cruise ship I was looking at when I searched it either. I wish it wasn't too late for a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great Application *2020-04-13, version 2.2* Love to see ships activities around Sydney harbour, specially the drama unfolding by cruise ships during the Corona stand-off. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-05, version 2.2* I ve had “Boatwatch pro” for quite a while now. I love the app and like see what tankers are in the Haven (Milford Haven) even though I live in Staffordshire. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2016-10-30* We live in central Minnesota and vacation in Duluth MN on Lake Superior several times a year. We love watching the ships enter and depart the canal under the lift bridge. This app lets us see which ships are in the area and the alert feature lets me know when a certain ship has pulled up its anchor and will be moving through. We use it every day to sneak peaks at the action on the webcams set up in Canal Park while we are at home. I also like checking out the busy ports around the Great Lakes to see our favorite ships and where they are. App works great and the one time I had a problem I emailed them and they fixed it within a day. Worth every penny and more! ### 5/5 — Klasse Programm! *2015-04-18, version 1.25* Super gemacht, besonders nützlich die Favoritenliste! ### 5/5 — Best boat tracker on the app store *2014-07-19, version 1.20* Shows up pretty much every boat out on sea ! If you like this sort of thing id highly recommend it. Although there could be a few minor improvement with this app ### 4/5 — Very Interesting *2019-01-24* I have recently downloaded the app to follow a friend's cruise. I was able to do with the exception when the app would crash on my I-Pad. I deleted the app and downloaded it again but the problem continues. I hope it can be fixed. ### 4/5 — Great App *2015-01-22, version 1.22* Love this app. Very nearly gave it 5 stars. Would love to see an update to give alerts for all boats in your favorites list. This would then get a 5 star from me. 👍 ### 3/5 — Stuck in AR mode *2014-05-13* The Pro version has a nifty "AR Mode" feature where the app shows vessel traffic overplayed on the camera view. There's apparently no way to exit this mode--even by quitting the app. The speed/bearing line is a great feature, but why is it not used to show my vessel? It would be a great help seeing if I was on a collision course. ### 3/5 — Inland rivers *2014-01-02* Does not work on inland rivers. They didn't say that when I bought it. ### 2/5 — Ship search doesn’t appear to work! *2022-07-22, version 2.4.2* Which is the reason I ourchas3d it.
