Appalling update

What on earth have you done to this once simple to use app? It’s now utterly appalling, unappealing, boats and ships difficult to distinguish and I have lost all the history of fellow boaters I was following. Too much is now behind a paywall. Please note also the standard developer response of ‘thanks for flagging this’ which shows they aren’t listening and do not care. Complete rubbish. Will not be using in future.

Terrible since update

Why why why do these app writers think that a good thing needs a complete makeover that makes their app appalling. I won’t be paying for this now rubbish app

Great app

I love this app for tracking super yacht. The app works quite well. I have the mobile pro plan, I love it, but I just wish you could add more than 20 ships to your fleet.

Was fun now not

Recent update requires you to make an account and agree to harvest your data. Used to be for ship tracking now it is tracking you. Boo.

Fleets not updating.

8 months later, when you have your fleet(s) showing, the position of your ships doesn’t update. I mean, 8 months!!! The developers must know about this. The only way to rectify this is to switch your fleets off & on or restart the app. A very poor app all over, compared to the previous one.
