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!

Poor interface

The interface runs extremely slow and never loads the maps. It says that there are now ships but websites show that ships are coming and go over the next few days.
