Not updating the location of the cruise ships and what cruises are in port accurately. Hope they fix these issues. ### 3/5 — PORTS NAMED WRONG *2025-12-30* I have just spent a day in Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. Your map says Port Arthur, USA. Please don’t tell us you have stolen one of our most historic places in Australia. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Unwanted attachments *2025-12-12* I have used this app for a few years we are cruisers, but now I started to get pornographic sexually oriented ads at the bottom of the page. If you try to get rid of them by touching the x, you go directly to the website. Temu I only tried twice to get rid of it and I could not find anyway to remove it from that page. When I went to my history, I only looked at it twice to get it removed, but it had 12 entries to the website Temu. No matter what I did, it continued going to the Temu app. I decided the only way to get it straightened out was to delete the app and I did so. Before you download this app be ready. and It’s sad because it takes a perfectly good app and makes it instantly undesirable. I hope they can straighten this out. ### 3/5 — Grand Princess *2025-02-28, version 3.3.4* App works half the time ### 3/5 — Good but needs improvement *2025-02-16* So I have used this app to see the location of a cruise ship or just to se all ships sailing, and the app is good but there are some things to be fixed. First, after a while of being in the app,it glitches out, when you try to zoom in it zooms out instead and you can’t tap on another ship if you are already looking at one. Second, while the app might tell you how fast the ship is going, it doesn’t appear moving on the map, it just appears still, and it also takes forever to update the location of the ship. Third and last, I wish there were more thing to do the the actual map like more styles, different ways to show you what ship you are looking at, and make the lines that follows the ship cleaner and smoother on the sections where the ship turns. If all these things get fixed I would happily rate this app higher. ### 2/5 — Ship itineraries *2024-12-16, version 3.3.4* The Holland America itinerary for their ships are not accurate at all ### 4/5 — One of the best out there. *2024-12-12* One of the best in terms of actually providing the track of a vessel. Unlike similar apps, however, this one is completely adware. It needs a paid or subscription option to get rid of the ads. ### 2/5 — Ship info wrong *2024-11-12* We’re traveling on the new Disney Treasure in May, and pretty much all the details about the ship are wrong, the dining rooms, lounges, shows, everything! Most of the information is for the Wish, Disney’s most recent ship. Like they cut and pasted the info from the wish, and edited the name, since the ships are the same class. But that’s about all that’s the same. ### 3/5 — Handy, but patchy information *2024-09-15* It’s a handy app to use when trying to identify or find a particular ship. However the details included on ships is a lot of the time inaccurate and out of date. ### 2/5 — Cruises *2024-08-19, version 3.3.1* It is important for me to have a good map of the cruise liners As my granddaughter is working on board and I like to see where she is sailing. Please keep the CruiseMapper as it is a great gift for me. ### 3/5 — Like the information but Seems worse than web site - glitchy *2024-08-14* Good information when you can get it. Often it doesn’t show route or update. I think the web site shows the planned route. Mainly it’s nice to see where the ship is, but having an app shouldn’t give you less. ### 5/5 — Best ship finder app *2024-05-23* The app does not bug anymore, so there is no issue there. The ship locations are extremely accurate, and organized by color. I was on the Disney fantasy watching the app and the moment we were officially docked, the ship was marked as docked on the app. Super cool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Фигня *2026-05-18* Картинка кораблика и всё ### 1/5 — Terrible App- Don’t waste your time *2025-08-11, version 3.3.4* Tracking is completely wrong — ships are days behind and never accurate. Feels like outdated, useless info. If you want your money back, go to your phone’s app settings and cancel the trial immediately, or contact Apple for a chargeback. Total scam. ### 1/5 — Dates *2025-07-25, version 3.3.4* The Cruise & Dates for Norwegian are incorrect. ### 1/5 — Use the website instead of this app *2024-12-20, version 3.3.4* The cruise mapper website is much better than this app. It provides more info than the app and is easier to navigate. This app is complete junk. ### 1/5 — Hard to load *2024-06-12, version 3.1.0* Takes forever though ### 1/5 — Please fix soon *2024-05-03, version 3.1.0* Its really hard to load the apps and even in websites, cannot open the map. Not moving at all ### 1/5 — Need another update *2024-01-25, version 3.0.1* Needs another update. This version will not allow me to view ships and it forces me to force quit the app and reopen in order to see other ships as they all disappear from the map. I amAlso unable to zoom in and out when this happens ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2024-01-25, version 3.0.1* The app was working very well. They recently did an update and now it is horrible. Nearly impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2024-01-24, version 3.0.1* The recent update really screwed things up. I can see the locations of any ships. ### 1/5 — Used to love your app *2024-01-24, version 3.0.1* Right now, after the latest update, the ships disappear after a few seconds. Currently not useful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-06* I’ve had this app for about three years now and love it. I do a lot of cruising and it’s really helpful to figure out where you are, what ships are around you, and information about each of those ships. ### 5/5 — ITINÉRAIRES *2026-02-06* Site très bien mais dommage qu’il n’y a pas la possibilité de mettre en Français. Pourquoi certains navires de croisières non pas les itinéraires programmés d’avance. Merci ### 5/5 — Location *2026-01-27* Doesn’t show ship location ### 5/5 — How I track my ship *2025-11-23* It is amazing! I love it I like it because I go on ships pretty much every year, it can track my ship wherever I go I would recommend it for ship lovers. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-09-26, version 3.3.4* I’ve had this app for about three years now and love it. I do a lot of cruising and it’s really helpful to figure out where you are, what ships are around you, and information about each of those ships. ### 5/5 — Very cool app *2025-09-06, version 3.3.4* Works as advertised and the map features are cool - especially the wind and wave height options ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-08-07* This app doesn’t bother you about getting a subscription and gets the job done. ### 5/5 — A good app *2025-07-10* This app actually is really good although it isn’t the most complex maps ever it really does have a lot of information about a lot of different ships. It is real time accurate. Does give good detail about the ships life and the information behind the ship(s). It even shows information on ships that have been scrapped. Would recommend the app if you are curious. ### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR TRACKING *2025-04-13, version 3.3.4* This is the best Cruise App I have used for tracking cruise ships, itineraries and ports. It is quick and simple to use. ### 5/5 — Cruise ship *2024-09-19* Best appp ever! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
