Free part not free

Not sure what happened but it doesn’t seem to let you look at the past track anymore. Instead it takes you to a screen to sell you the pro plan. But when you compare the regular plan with pro plan it clearly states the past 24 track is free. Not so anymore, and false advertising. I liked this app otherwise but there’s others out there.

Poor

0 star, used to be good, now it isn’t worth it, better off finding something else

I don’t understand

I have been using this app for years. Recently after an update I have been having problems. Today it is working fine on my iPad Pro. On my iPhone 16, iPad Mini and my wife’s iPad I can see the vessels but I click on a vessel and I get the message “Couldn’t retrieve vessel data”. The OS is 27.0.1 on all devices.

App has connection issues

The app has no problem showing vessels on the map and they move, but when you press on one it says “Couldn’t retrieve vessels data”. Major issue.

Terrible update

Used MarineTraffic for years, they started ruining this app last year and each update has gotten worse and less functional. Now it no longer works properly even with a paid subscription. I’ll be finding an alternative. I would advise anyone else do the same.
