Do use not worth it

Wast of money as it doesn’t let you see boats name and the time is sometimes delayed by 24 hrs or said out of range and boats are net to us

.

Was a very good app until the update where you now have to pay for everything

App Renewal

Used Apple to renew through 2027 but the app then asked for account email and password which have been lost. Looking for a way to reconnect

Diabolical

Used to be fine before it got ‘upgraded’ and now is just not workable.
Old saying ‘if its not broken don’t try fixing it’

I waited & hoped but …

I have had this App for 10 years now. Loved it. Used it daily to see ships passing by my window in Sidney BC, and in the Marina, as well as seeing cruise ships around the world. Sadly the big update you did early this year wiped out everything I loved. The colourful maps are now depressingly bland. The screen jumps when I try to enlarge to see the names of vessels … I could go on & on.
This morning I actually considered paying to upgrade, but reading the reviews of people who have, and considering how much space the App takes up, 220 MB, I have decide to delete you.
If & when you manage to bring the App back to what it was prior to this year, I hope you’ll be able to notify me. I hope the person who created this new version of a formerly great App gets fired.
