### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2015-09-07, version 2.4.1*

For the USA is a total out of time. I lost my 0.90 cents!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time!

*2014-03-12, version 2.3*

The registration process is nothing but an e-mail harvester. Giving it an e-mail address to set up a log-in has absolutely no result.

### 1/5 — Waste of time. It's just an ad

*2014-03-05, version 2.3*

This is nothing but advertising for a paid app, and there is absolutely no demo to it. Junk like this should never be allowed in the store.

### 1/5 — Dont abide by Can Spam Act

*2014-01-03, version 1.9*

This company continues to email me even after repeatedly asking to be unsubscribed.  They do not provide an address or an unsubscribe link.  Im worried what they will do with my information.

Do not create an account if you don't want to receive unwanted emails you cant stop.

App is very buggy and works a quarter of the time then freezes.  Do not waste your time.

### 1/5 — Thanks

*2013-12-20, version 1.9*

Appreciate the price drop. Can't imagine that you'd normally ask folks to pay $25 AND create an account. Why should I create an account for full functionality? Deleted!

### 1/5 — USA Port Captain

*2011-06-08, version 1.5.4*

Fleetmon has very poor coverage in the USA along the Gulf Coast. The web site shows that they have and or use many stations, but the only places that you can receive feedback from are New Orleans and Houston/Galveston. When selecting your fleet it dose not show the names of the vessels on the live map screen. This application needs a lot of improvement. Until it has been improved, it is not even worth $5.00.

### 1/5 — Waste of money!!!

*2011-05-17, version 1.5.4*

Doesn't work. Emailed them and they said the antennas are iffy... SO DON'T BUY THIS APP!!!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2010-05-11, version 0*

This app does not work. It's junk. I'm not saying it needs work I'm saying it doesn't work. It's a ripoff,garbage waste of time. Not worth a penny. I want my money back. I've owned it for 3 minutes and can say without doubt it's the worst app I have ever seen. The only effort here is to get your money. Run away

### 1/5 — Fleetmon

*2010-03-11, version 0*

I am not able to pull up any ship tracking information for my local (Houston/Galeston) area.

### 1/5 — Needs too much work!!!

*2009-12-05, version 0*

Does not show any ship outside of US waters!!! I bought this to see nearby ships during a cruise and it stopped working after the first day!!  Also much of the data is out of date !!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-07-30, version 4.1.1*

If you’re a boat owner, this app is pretty useless for tracking your own boat. I’d blame the lack of connection to terrestrial beacons. Been on a trip from SF to LA and my own boat barely ever shows. When it does, the report is hours old. If you were using this to track friends or family on a coastal cruise, you’re better off sharing location via your phone.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2021-12-04, version 4.1.1*

Really poor app you have to make an account and enter your zip code for what??

### 1/5 — Needs improvemts

*2019-12-23, version 2.5.3*

Zooming and out zooming is too fast. Couldn’t find the coordinates of the ships.  Not user friendly. I canceled my monthly subscription.

### 1/5 — Deceptive advertising!

*2017-08-07, version 2.4.1*

They make it look like you can track ships on maps in real time, but for 99 cents you don't even get to see a map, just lat. & long.  Search feature is weak and returns incomplete results.

### 1/5 — Worthless scam app

*2016-09-04, version 2.4.1*

Totally useless, does not accurately show anything. You must read the fine print on website, if you do not get a monthly contract you get nothing. Buy a cup of coffee instead.

### 1/5 — WAY OVERPRICED!!!!

*2016-08-05, version 2.4.1*

The concept is ok, but much better tools available for MUCH LESS $$$ (as in free in some cases) - try again

### 1/5 — Do not download this app!

*2016-06-17, version 2.4.1*

It doesn't work. To get it working, you need to purchase a subscription. The interface is not user friendly and it doesn't have clear instructions on how to add ships to your fleet or see any ships you search for! Terrible! Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2016-04-23, version 2.4.1*

This app flat out doesn't work, and requires expensive subscription to get any useful data. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2016-01-06, version 2.4.1*

Very ungry, impossible to see witch boat is it in the map. You have to pay 54$ to 629$ month to all access!!!! Spent 0.99$ for nothing.

### 1/5 — Horse shoot

*2015-12-08, version 2.4.1*

Lousy app that doesn't work on iPhone can't enter sign up info thanks ripped off for a buck,

### 4/5 — Неплохо.

*2013-12-30, version 1.9*

Добавьте движение судна за последние дни как в shippingexplorer.

### 4/5 — Seems OK but

*2013-12-20, version 1.9*

But it could stand to use a better mapping background. Google maps even bing maps would be nicer.  But it seems to do what it says.

### 4/5 — Good App but needs a little tweak

*2011-04-10, version 1.5.1*

Good app for me to use for me as a port security supervisor here on the western great lakes area. Though the map does not show active boats traveling from the ports in Lake Superior. I have to go to the ships page it's self to see where on the Great Lakes they are.

 Maybe some help from the creators on this one????

Otherwise a great app! I've had it for less then 24hrs and have used it a ton!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2010-10-15, version 0*

The app is working fine on both my iPad and iPhone 3GS. Coverage in Norfolk, VA is good. As more reporting stations share data, the value of this and other like programs will grow.

### 3/5 — REMOVE  ILLEGAL  NAMES  AT  SOUTH CHINA  SEA

*2019-11-07, version 2.5.3*

CASE   WON  IN  COURT

CHINESE  ILLEGAL  LANDGRABBING  AND  NAMING  OF  THESE  SHOALS  and  ARTIFICIAL  ISLANDD  ON  SOMEBODY’s  COUNTRY  EEZ  SHOULD  NOT  BE  ADOPTED  AS  TRUE.

PLEASE  REMOVE  THOSE  CHINESE  NAMES  LABELED  ON  THOSE  ISLANDS.

PLEASE  BE  ADVISED.

### 2/5 — Broke

*2017-05-29, version 2.4.1*

Worked fine at 1st to watch my martime sons travels. Now the stopped working completely!!

### 2/5 — Charts and outages

*2014-06-16, version 2.3*

The EU/US charts work again after several weeks outage. 

The receiving stations seem to be iffy and off line as much as on line.

In general they are either asleep at the switch, don't care or as so short funded they can't keep it together.

As it stands right now it's a novel toy app that is of marginal use to amateurs and generally useless to professionals due to its unreliability.
