I am liking it so far. ### 3/5 — Its okay *2025-12-03, version 1.0.20* I mean it’s really good but I don’t like how you have to wait or even pay to see more ships so if you are a kid who’s really into boats but you have parents who don’t like to buy you stuff in video games, then I wouldn’t recommend the app, but it’s still good and you can try it if you want to ### 2/5 — Island sky *2025-01-30* It hasn’t updated for a whole day **Developer response:** Apologies, we were having a temporary data issue, should be resolved now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just wants me to upgrade *2026-07-22* I can’t see what I downloaded the app for. I want to identify the boats going past my beach but the pop ups to upgrade are not allowing me to use the app how I’d like to ### 1/5 — Limited *2026-06-16* If you wanna buy an app, buy a better one. The free version of this is pointless **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Sorry the free version didn’t meet your expectations. We’re always working to make the app better for everyone. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-04-12* Not good. Had to trial an add on ‘free for 3 days’ before moving on to what I wanted to do. Deleted the app instead because there may not have been an opt out. ### 1/5 — Limited views *2026-02-24* Stupid limited views of your ship for a cash grab. No thanks ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2026-01-09* Looked at 2 ships and then blocked - rubbished ### 1/5 — not pleased *2025-08-17* I tried this app while on a cruise to check out another ship nearby. Unfortunately, the locations weren’t real-time and sometimes showed data from the previous day. Even worse, I was enrolled in a subscription with no clear instructions on how to cancel. I eventually figured it out and canceled — iOS users can do the same in Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. The app uses AIS, so generally speaking times should be close to real-time, but there are times when ships go out of range of AIS and updates are delayed. ### 1/5 — Not real time data and shady practices *2025-08-17* This developer deleted my original review so I am back to voice my concern. This app is not real time as it never updated for my family while we were on a cruise. Since there is no easy way to cancel your subscription, I had to figure it out on my own. Go to Settings, click on your name, click on subscriptions, and you can cancel the subscription from there, you’re welcome! ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-08-06* Currently on a cruise and this app is showing several days’ behind on our location. **Developer response:** Apologies, we were having a temporary data issue, should be resolved now. ### 1/5 — not pleased *2025-04-29* this app was very difficult to use for me. I was excited to track our cruise but it is days behind on this tracking app. showed false information for our friends cruise they were on as well **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. The app uses AIS, so generally speaking times should be close to real-time, but there are times when ships go out of range of AIS and updates are delayed. ### 2/5 — Not really Free *2025-09-05* Only save 1 ship and limited views/day with most info on ports, etc blurred out in the “free” version. Don’t download unless you’re willing to spend the $25/yr for this novelty. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cruise *2026-07-25* Very good app ### 5/5 — fun to use *2026-06-29* Cruisekick has been an excellent resource for tracking and locating cruise ships. The ship locations are easy to find, the maps are clear and accurate, and the updates are timely. I especially like how simple the website is to navigate, making it easy to check a ship’s current position or planned itinerary in just a few clicks. Whether you’re waiting for family to arrive at port or just enjoy following cruise ships, Cruisekick is a reliable and user-friendly tool. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in cruise tracking. ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-06-06* I love this game ### 5/5 — best cruise app *2026-04-03* lit love this app, makes me feel like i’m on a cruise, like honestly! love tracking these cruises so much! i always do it with planes and now cruises? the best ### 5/5 — Viaje en familia *2026-04-01* Todo fue muy bien nos gustó mucho el personal muy amable como siempre y fue un viaje inolvidable ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-22* I really enjoy seeing how the ship we are on is navigating towards our next stop ### 5/5 — great app *2025-09-13* following our relatives on a med cruise. its so cool! ### 5/5 — My favorite cruise app *2025-08-13* I've tried a bunch of these ship tracker apps, but this is the one I keep coming back to.
