Not worth it

This app costs money and it’s not worth it. After buying abd downloading it, I found that the satellite pings show the sharks to be on land. The only “land sharks” I know of were on SNL! It’s clearly not accurate. I recommend OCEARCH app. It’s free and it’s quite accurate. Not only is their app good, but I’m sold on their work. I plan to donate to them soon!

I like it- may have saved a few people

1) I surf in waters where big sharks hunt
1.) my friend’s kids were in the water at El Capitan when they got out because they saw a fin. The dad told them to get back out there because he was sore it was a dolphin. He had the app and looked just for fun and sure enough Poe Girl the 17 ft shark had pinged in the bay. Everyone got out of the water. A couple weeks later a bit north a guy was killed by a shark. And the same one was in that area
2) cool little animations of where each tagged shark has traveled and each point it registers has its time of year 3) seeing the animation was pretty cool as the shark I was most concerned about makes an incredible journey… but for now has parked it’s 17 ft self near one of my favorite spots
3) would be nice to have all the sharks but that’s not gonna happen. This is Pacific Ocean specific

Won’t open

App won’t open anymore. Sad

8 sharks in the Northern Pacific?

Could you also include the record number of sharks tagged in 2020 off the California coast specifically Santa Barbara and San Diego?
That would make the price of the app worthwhile and make the app extremely useful.

Fun but glitches

My son and I loved this app. We found favorite sharks and would love tracking where they were. The newest update has caused the images and videos to cease to be viewable which we are so sad about. If the kinks could work out it’s really an interesting app.

FAQ

What does Expedition White Shark do?

Expedition White Shark allows you to track adult white sharks in near real-time using data from satellite tags attached by scientists. You can view the movements of tagged sharks and learn about their life history and migration patterns.

How does the shark tracking work?

Scientists attach custom satellite tags to the dorsal fins of adult great white sharks. When a shark surfaces with its fin out of the water for several minutes, the tag transmits its position, which is then relayed via satellite to the app.

Is there a cost to use this app?

Based on the provided information, the app is free to use. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or subscription fees.

Can I see historical shark movements?

Yes, the app allows you to see historical location data. You can select 'current' to view positions within the last 30 days, and dots mark sharks with historical data on the same date in previous years, helping you identify seasonal patterns.

What kind of sharks can I track?

The app focuses on tracking adult white sharks. You can use the shark filter to select a specific shark or view the last known position for all sharks of a specific species that have been tagged.
