Useless

It shows some ais data but it doesn’t show anything important like the ferries that I’m looking at or anything else for that matter I am in a very popular boating area and it showed nothing from
New York City to block island Rhode Island useless not even sure if what it is showing even exists

Pork pie

Such a great app always gives you a good up to date information in a position of a ship you looking for 👍

No ships

I used to see the ships. None showed. So I upgraded, still have no ships.

Could do better

Only covers certain areas leaving a lot out.
