This one does nothing at all. It just has links to seatow.com. It doesn’t even have a way to logon to your seatow account. Basically you can call or email seatow and share your location. Woop de doo. I’m deleting this app. I hope you didn’t pay a developer much for this. ### 1/5 — SINK THIS APP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA *2022-10-13, version 1.07* Nothing working. Used to have tides, weather, location, maps, heading, now all it wants is to make an emergency call. ### 1/5 — Newer app version is terrible *2022-10-08* I had SeaTow including the SeaTow app in 2019 and had no issues also loved all the features of the app. I was having problems renewing my membership after their obvious changes for this year and finally got it all started back up as I have a new boat now and can only say the current app is a joke nothing compared to the previous app and the website is a joke as well as it is nothing but trying to sell you membership even if you already have membership. I have previously had BoatsUS and used them without issue and will likely switch back if SeaTow doesn’t figure out their app and online process. ### 1/5 — Poor *2022-06-25, version 1.07* This app bites. But Seatow is a decent service. Why can’t you get someone to design an app with functionality? ### 1/5 — The New App is Garbage *2022-05-15, version 1.07* It’s really sad. The old app was actually pretty good but this one is complete garbage. It has no features included and routes you to a web site. That defeats the whole purpose of having an App! This App is crap. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2022-05-14, version 1.07* Good company. But app is worthless. Just a phone number and gps location. How about ones account number?? That’s the first thing they ask for! ### 1/5 — The Worst *2022-05-05* The new app is horrible, no function what so ever, might as well just have the phone number in your phone and call when needed. Miss the charts and wether function and now we have no VHF radio check in my area. Next year going to try the competition ### 1/5 — Totally useless app *2022-05-05* I haven’t used it in a few years and it was showing my membership was expired, which it was not. So I deleted it and added it back. The new version removed the tide and weather info and has nothing useful at all. Not even account info. What is the point? ### 1/5 — New app is not good *2022-04-26* I sold my old boat a few years ago and just purchased a new one. I purchased sea tow again expecting to app to have all of the old features (mainly weather and tide data) and keep getting kicked out. If I would have known the new app was missing these features I would have signed up with someone else. ### 1/5 — Mostly useless *2022-03-26, version 1.07* This went from being a useful tool to essentially a speed dialer. Why am I wasting my time with it? ### 1/5 — Terrible terrible terrible *2021-03-14, version 1.07* The old app was decent, no complaints, this “new” version is absolutely terrible. If anyone is actually listening please look at the comments here, bring back the features of the previous app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-14, version 1.07* Extremely disappointed! No charts no weather. Nothing. Time to start looking at the competition next year! ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2020-09-01, version 1.07* Don’t waste your time downloading this app, it is utterly useless. The prior SeaTow app certainly needed some improvement, but this is absurd and the app is literally worthless. No features, no functionality, and just refers you back to the SeaTow page to handle anything. ### 1/5 — SeaTow app *2020-07-21, version 1.07* Disappointed that SeaTow App no longer provides gps weather and tide info ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What is the point *2025-03-09, version 1.07* They just just pull this thing down. It is just an ad for Seatow. Aside from linking me to their website to sign up or renew it does nothing. I have Seatow so why isn’t there a way to log into my account? ### 1/5 — Meh *2025-03-06, version 1.07* Other than providing your lat & long and dropping your location pin this app doesn’t offer anything else. ### 1/5 — Deserves a zero star review. *2023-09-13* Longtime Sea Tow member. Went on the app today and was a bit confused at first because it basically has no features anymore. I thought I was just on some sea tow website page by accident. Nope! Why why why would you wreck an app like this?? PLEASE create a fully functioning real app again and soon. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2023-08-27* I’m honestly concerned about the viability of Seatow. The earlier app had promise but this is a joke. Not investing as the new gen of boaters that need you the most, it’s concerning. BoatUS will cover my local tow if needed and native to the other area where i boat. For the first time, I’m considering other options. (Yes, they exist). ### 1/5 — Just signed up with Sea-Tow, considering canceling after seeing this app! *2023-08-24* This app does not make me feel like their service will be good. I went and signed up BoatU.S. As well after seeing this app as i have no confidence in Sea-Tow if this is my first impression. ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2023-08-14, version 1.07* I just installed it. As soon as I opened it, it confirmed what everyone else says. Absolute garbage. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-08-14* The app is nearly worthless with location data being the only thing useful. The app tells you to go to their website for literally everything else. Why even have an app then??? Probably the worst non-game app I have ever seen from a company. ### 1/5 — New App is terrible *2023-04-10* I am in total agreement with everyone who thinks the new app is a joke. I liked having my Sea Tow membership card on my phone and all of the other features the old app had. Updating an app is not always a good thing and this app proves it. Sea Tow should go back to the old format!!! ### 1/5 — App shows location and phone but not account number *2023-04-05* What the heck is wrong with seatow. They remove the apps optional features and take away the account number which is the first thing you need for the call. Really dumb. ### 1/5 — Listen to your users *2022-10-30* I’ve been a Seatow member now for 6 years. I liked the app better the way it was before with weather and tide data like many others have stated. I also had a tough time trying to cancel my renewing membership. Everything was much better prior to this app refresh. Please listen to your customer base!! The new features are nice, just incorporate them into the old app and “poof” you have a happy customer base and a refreshed app!! Problem solved! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best in the Business *2026-06-17* Sea tow has always been there to get me no matter what time or what condition. **Developer response:** We will continue to stand by to help! Enjoy using the app. ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-06-13* The new app works great now. Doesn’t crash and close all the time. **Developer response:** Glad you are enjoying the new app! ### 5/5 — Pretty solid *2026-06-12* Has weather, tides, assistance request. Not sure what anyone else would expect or need from this app so it definitely checks the boxes of my needs. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words. We are glad the app is useful for you! ### 5/5 — Best Best Best *2025-08-15* Far more than a tow service. They are more like a friend, always there to help you. Even when you need help on your boat, because you are stuck in a hospital, like I am, today. ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2020-07-06* I like that you can text my buddy my exact location in Lat-Lon plus my position shows up on a map. With so many boats in certain anchorages they can find me every time. I also like that you can call for assistance directly from the app and you know your exact location. I use my Navionics app for the current & tides so I don’t miss them on this app. ### 5/5 — EdBori *2020-05-06, version 1.04* Very simple to use and the captain found me quickly! ### 5/5 — No complaints *2020-05-04* Although I miss the old features such as weather and tides, the app still is very useful and easier to use now. They compensated for the withdraw of the other features by putting their recommended apps for the features on their website which was a great idea ### 4/5 — The new App *2026-06-13* Wow!! So much better then previous app . This makes a difference **Developer response:** Thanks! We hope you enjoy using the app. ### 2/5 — Turns off when try to open location *2026-06-12* Trying to check on location. App turns off when I try to open location **Developer response:** Hello! We just pushed a new build that resolved this occasional issue. Please be sure to update the app and try again. We appreciate you using the Sea Tow App! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
