### 2/5 — Not complete

*2025-10-11*

Some functions don’t work anymore, like the NOAA chart display. Used to be you just had to be zoomed into a certain scale. Now they just don’t render anymore.

### 3/5 — Finally back working

*2023-11-11*

This app is finally back working on my iPhone after about 6 years. But only the pro version works. After a major update it worked perfectly for about a week. It still works now but I can’t click on the mile markers, it freezes up and crashes if I do. Other than that it’s working fine thus far

### 2/5 — Why dosn work on iphone 6 ios 10

Why dosn work on iphone 6 ios 10

### 2/5 — Not trustable

*2016-10-13, version 6.1.1*

This app sometimes cannot show the vessel's situation in some ports. 
But is you want to follow a specific vessel, it works Okay.
I've sent 3 feedbacks, asking to fix the problem, no reply. 
It was waste of money for me.

### 4/5 — Marine Tracker

*2016-06-16*

So far it's done what's promised. I haven't tested to see how accurate it is. But it seems to track all marine activity in an area. I wish I had a way to notify you when a ship is getting close to your location.

### 3/5 — Shows you most of what you need

*2016-06-04*

There's still plenty of room for improvement but findShip pro is quickly getting there. Needs to be more options for customizing boat info and quicker updates would always be a plus, which I'm sure you will. Reliable & informative.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2016-04-23, version 2.1.1*

Not bad and pretty accurate as far as positions go. Would be nice to have corp of engineers buoy overlays & light names along the western rivers. Would also be nice to change knots into sog/mph. Pretty good app though.

### 5/5 — I like this  application

*2016-01-27, version 2.1.1*

Best application ever 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-11-01, version 1.3.0*

Very helpful

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-10-02, version 1.3.0*

Could be a good app. But is not updating location. I just wasted 4.99. Do not get this app. I'm a river boat pilot. Trust me. It does not work. Needs a major update!

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE

*2024-10-03*

This pro version force closes on any menu or settings and there is no support. DO NOT SOEND MONEY ON THIS.

### 1/5 — Does not work on IPhone 12&13

*2023-09-05*

Spent $22 for the pro version and still does not work highly disappointed.

### 1/5 — Nearly worthless

*2023-02-12*

Updates a ship’s position very sporadically, less often than other apps by a lot.

### 1/5 — Steve Bryan

*2023-01-26, version 6.2.23*

Isn’t doesn’t work on I Phone and not I want a my money back . Just charged me 23.00

### 1/5 — iPhone 13 doesn’t work

*2023-01-12*

I have a new iPhone 13 so I know the problem is not my phone, this app just goes to a white screen and does nothing at all

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2023-01-09, version 6.2.22*

Paid $21.99 for this and it doesn’t work. Opens to a blank screen and everything is frozen can’t click on anything. Tried to go to app support and says 403 forbidden ! I want a refund but seems this developer is nowhere to be found to contact for refund. I have iPhone 12 with version 16 installed !

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2016-10-07*

I've had this program for about 3 yrs.  I started out with the free version and loved it until it quit working (quit automatically updating.) So I deleted the free version, paid and installed the Pro version.  Worked terrifically for months then all of a sudden it stopped updating any of the boat positions.  I quit using it for about 2 mos because I didn't have time to troubleshoot. Then one day I opened and it was updated, etc and everything was fine. Another yr passes and it's back to not updating again. I tried re logging in and it won't take my passport, the positions aren't moving at all and sometimes it gets stuck on the world map.  I contacted the owner (last name Fibonacci) and he asked for a screen shot.  I sent it and haven't heard a thing back. That was about 3 was ago.  When it works it's the next best thing to bread but when it's not working it's a loss of good money. I can't rate it anything in negative numbers or I would.

### 1/5 — It's a waste of money!

*2016-10-04*

This app is not accurate at all! I was very excited at first but soon discovered what a flop this app really is. Very disappointed. 🙁

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2016-08-05, version 6.0.0*

My husband is a commerical fisherman. This application is not accurate and several times has been very off from where he actually is or was 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Does not work!!!!!

*2015-10-17, version 1.3.0*

This Captain's wife is disappointed with the performance of this app. Does not work as advertised. Inaccurate delayed information. Certainly not worth paying for.

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2016-12-08, version 6.1.1*

I bought this app to track the course of a cargo ship that my son is working on, and it works very well for my purposes.  I had also purchased the Marine Tracker app, but I found it to be, for the most part, useless, as the ship was always "out of range" (in other words, not near a big city!), but that is not the case with this app.  I've enjoyed tracking my son's ship, and also checking the little weather stations in his ship's vicinity...  This is a simple little app that works quite well!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-09-23*

This is a great app! Already worth the few bucks I paid for it on the first night.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-09-18, version 6.1.0*

Comparing with other apps, this one is the best, especially the 30 days track of the ship..
Besides that the coverage is so grate that I can track my ship when transiting Atlantic Ocean...
2 thumbs up...

### 5/5 — A Mistake in FindShip_Pro_6.0.0

*2016-08-12, version 6.0.0*

Hello sir / Madam
I should to inform you the name of supply vessel with IMO: 8515922, MMSI: 341389000and callsign: V4ZS2, in the your Application (FindShip-Pro-6.0.0) mistakenly declared "TRAVE TRADER" but the correct name of this supply vessel is "AL RAYYAN" So please correct the occurred mistake in the application. 
Also, for your more confidence it should be noted, our company is the charterer of this supply vessel (AL RAYYAN) in this 3 years. (2013 until now)

Best regards

### 5/5 — Captain

*2016-08-02*

Love it. Only improvement I need is the ability to refresh a vessels position. An ETA feature would be nice. Maybe in the next version.

### 5/5 — my comment

*2016-07-31, version 6.0.0*

I used this app(pro version). its very powerfull searching motor to find ships, ports, owners & managers.

### 5/5 — Best yet

*2016-05-28*

This was the third boat tracking app I tried. Finally - one that is reliable, searchable and actually has the ships/vessels I am looking to follow. Great app. Good overall info given. Can map and time routes with charts. Great app, but I am repeating myself.

### 5/5 — The best and most reliable one yet!

*2016-05-17*

This is the best and most reliable app pulling AIS data.  I spent the last couple of days troubleshooting an AIS problem on my boat.  MarineTraffic and VesselFinder were not providing reliable data.  Even worse their websites didn't provide the same data as their iOS apps!  Only FindShip is showing reliable and consistent data for my boat in the Chesapeake Bay.

### 5/5 — On Course

*2016-04-16*

Looked at several apps for ship locators. Love the info that it provides. I like the "fleet" function so you can track your favorite ships. Did notice that some destinations did not change even after the ship has departed that location and moving on to another port. The info sheet shows the last port.

### 5/5 — Yes!!!

*2016-02-08, version 2.1.1*

Exactly what I needed to track my boats
