Wtf

You guys have had 6 Months to fix this app and you respond to no one on here regarding all the issues. What is taking so long? Like seriously, you make people pay for this atrocity and then just ghost everyone who asks what the heck is going on. Do better!!!


What have you done with this latest update? It’s brutal

Update: They apparently did an update to this abomination but I see no difference.

This original MarineTraffic update has made the app so much worse. It’s slow, I lost all my fleets, and there’s almost no customization anymore. The old app let you quickly scan the map and spot ships with key info instantly. That usability is gone. Such a shame. Fire the designer of this.

Good App now Ruined

This used to be a very good app, but through various updates has now been ruined. Now I don’t get vector lines and very slow and unstable. Doesn’t update unless you close the app and then restart it. Sometimes when you zoom in and out boats disappear randomly. A great disappointment to what used to be a very good at.

Isn’t Great

I bought this app years ago to see where my ships were before boarding. After a while, it wouldn’t let me view anything without purchasing again (twice) so I just gave up on it. Yesterday my son got his first ship, so I figured I’d download it again to see where he’s going. I chose the pro version, but the only thing I can see on the map is where his vessel is. I can’t see the vessel details or port calls. I can’t see the weather forecast and it doesn’t seem like there is a menu for me to do so. When I log onto the website. It’s telling me I need to upgrade. How much more can I upgrade from pro?

Needs work

Formerly was the best app available. Now good if you pay for pro plan. But, you frequently get kicked out of pro plan and must login again. Super pain when you have it running on multiple devices. Please fix this issue before you waste more time on augmented reality. Cheers!

Recent New Look

The recent update completely changed the look of this app and it has been buggy and I haven’t been able to use this app as intended once. The new look is not an improvement in my opinion. But I can’t even use the app to search a vessel because it crashes every time. The need to seriously work on fixing this before I look elsewhere for vessel tracking. It I used to be a fantastic app and my Go To
