User reviews

I Love This App!

Thank you for creating this app! I love getting notifications telling me when ships are coming/going from the Twin Ports & Two Harbors. Then I can catch them on the Live Cams!

New and Improved!

This app was updated late last year and works great. It’s updated by staff at the Lake Superior maritime visitor center daily and send notifications when vessels are close to arriving or departing. Not 100% accurate but as accurate as can be with how difficult it is to predict commercial shipping activity.

Fun but tiresome

I love this app and enjoy going to see the ships come and go from our entries. I desperately wish we could tailor which entries we get notifications for instead of getting notifications for all of them.

New and improved!

New version 2 looks great and works great! Very informative and accurate!

Works Perfectly!

It’s fun to see what’s coming and going out of the harbor and this app makes it a breeze. The app has been completely redesigned and they nailed it. The user interface is clean and intuitive. The information about arrival and departure timing is accurate and it’s easy to click on a ship to get a quick description of what it’s hauling and where is coming from or going to. Head to the map to view the ships and click on webcam links to watch them live. Whether you’re a local interested in knowing what’s coming and going out of the harbor or a tourist hoping to watch the next 1,000-footer go under the lift bridge, this app is for you!
