Not enough

I paid for the next app up from this lite version but I can only access 100 odd ships out of 40,000 or more.
Why??

Suspicious and False Pop ups

Unfortunately, the app now pops up false and suspicious advertisements, such as “iPhone memory full, click on clear memory below”. This shift is extremely bad and I’m deleting the app.

Don’t get lite version

What a waste of time. No search function to find ships. Finds your location and that’s it.

Disappointed

Expected a great App after having Plane Finder. But a big disappointment. Limited viability, ships appearing inland, lack of information
