Don’t not upgrade . 👌

Doesn’t show all show ships in certain map areas world wide like other apps do, especially the Straight of Hormuz.👌Don’t upgrade , not worth it.✌️Rip-off….

Won’t load anything.

I really wanted to like this. It doesn’t find anything

I have a question

This is not a review but a question. I’ve just downloaded your App. I understand that I get to try it for free for one month. Is that accurate ? And I could to find the actual price. Can we do a monthly subscription or is it only available as an annual price.
Thank you for getting back to me.

Response from developer

Hi, BoatWatch is free to use for a month. You can upgrade with a monthly or one time lifetime subscription. The upgrade adds ships photos , departure and arrival alerts and the ability to set multiple favourites. Please email help@pocketmariner.com if you have more questions we can help with. Best regards The PocketMariner team

Gone down hill

used to be good when free, used a couple of years ago. went to use this year and needed subscription at £1.99 no big deal .. apart from there's nothing listed!
I'm in Sivota Bay, Lefkada with an abundance of yachts and boats .. but only 4-5 listed with no detail on the boat!
Just downloaded marine traffic (for free) and gives a far batter picture.
From my point of view - avoid this App until they get their data feeds sorted (Aug 26)

Response from developer

Hi, we have just checked and our coverage in Sivota Bay is as good as MarineTraffic’s. Please note MarineTraffic can show very out of date ship positions ( from hours and days ago) . Please email us at help@pocketmariner.com so we can help get you up and running

Made app pay to use

This app used to quite helpful for a Quick Look at what was on the water, unfortunately they now want to charge. I’d advise anyone reading this to simply Google ais ship tracking, you will get free live data of marine traffic.

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

Response from developer

Hi, that doesn’t sound right. We do not have any monthly subscription in BoatWatch and the lifetime subscription is $4.99 and non-repeating. Can you please contact the AppStore to sort this out as they manage all the financial side of things Best regards The PocketMariner team

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.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you very much for your kind review. Great to hear you are enjoying using BoatWatch Best regards The BoatWatch crew

This is not free

You only get information for a subscription

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.

Response from developer

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

Poor

Very disappointed with the coverage overall

Ais

It’s not showing fishing boats.

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.

Response from developer

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.

A system that doesn’t work

I am in Madeira and I paid £4.99 to see live shipping in the harbour here but nothing

Muito bom e pontual

Mto legal para quem trabalha ou já trabalhou em navios de cruzeiro

Response from developer

Que bom saber que você está gostando de usar o BoatWatch. Muito obrigado.

No ships

I live along the Strait of Canso and there are lots of ships passing by but this app shows nothing.
