Miss lead

When I signed up for this I thought I was paying for a lifetime subscription but now I have a $2.99 bill on my credit card every month

Tracks everything but me

Handy little marine tracker lets me favorite all the vessels I want, shows pictures of the vessels, filters views by commercial, sail, military, etc. and doesn’t capture any of my personal data. Buy the full license, it’s a bargain.

Disappointed

The app works for the most part, but I am very disappointed to see they refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, which it most definitely is not.

Make me pay?

Boat watch created a paywall & took away the free satellite. Not good.

Dear BoatWatch user, Thank you for using BoatWatch. Unfortunately the significantly increasing costs of live AIS data and customer support mean that free use has had to be limited to one month. A lifetime or yearly upgrade is available to continue using BoatWatch for live ship positions with full details, photos and arrival and departure alerts. Best regards The PocketMariner crew

Muito bom

Poderia ter a informação da velocidade do navio quando clica no mesmo. Isso ajuda a saber se o navio está em deslocamento. No app atual precisa conectar em info e abrir uma nova tela.

Olá, obrigado pela sua avaliação e sugestão, que repassaremos à equipe de desenvolvimento. Você pode saber se um navio está se movendo ou não pelo ícone: se estiver parado ou atracado, terá um símbolo de âncora. Atenciosamente, Equipe PocketMariner.

Thanks for the great rating. May you have fair winds and a following tide. The PocketMariner crew.

Ship filter button obscures augmented reality button

I use the app almost daily and like it. However, not enough UI testing was done when the ship filter was added. The button lies on top of the augmented reality button making it impossible to enable the latter on iPhone and iPad. Please move either away from the other.

Keine Deutsche Version in Update-Version, obwohl angegeben

Fehlende Sprachversion, daher nur zwei Sterne. Ansonsten gute App.
