Needs some more work!!

Some sharks appear to circumnavigate the globe between consecutive appearances! There doesn’t seem to be any metadata to reflect the date(s) of any of the positions. Great concept but would benefit from fixes to the above….

Disappointed

Most of the app map is covered with a white screen with advertisements. Then asked me to sign up to maps .

Response from developer

Can you please e-mail a screenshot of this to innovate@thedreamfactory.nz ? We're unsure what map service you're being asked to sign up for and so far you're the only person to report having this issue. The sponsors should only occupy a small banner along the bottom of the map, too. Thank you

Scam

Worst app … sharks haven’t moved since I paid for the app.. full regret

Cool idea

Map is only half the size of the screen looks like a glitch. I phone15

Could be so great

Love the concept of this app - looking forward to further improvements.

FAQ

Why hasn't The Great White App shown a shark moving in days, weeks, or months?

Shark locations are only updated when a shark's dorsal fin, and thus the satellite tag, breaks the surface of the ocean. Sharks can spend weeks underwater before surfacing again, so updates are not continuous.

How accurate are the shark locations in The Great White App?

Location accuracy varies. Longer surface times provide highly accurate fixes within 250m. Brief satellite fixes can result in accuracy within several kilometers, sometimes placing locations near land due to coastal proximity.

What does purchasing The Great White App support?

Purchasing the app directly funds future shark tagging, ongoing conservation efforts by the Sustainable Oceans Society, and further development of the app itself.

Is The Great White App available on Android?

The provided data indicates support for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. Information regarding Android availability is not specified.

How often is The Great White App updated?

The app was last updated on March 22, 2026, indicating a recent update. New shark locations are added as they surface, and more sharks are planned over time.

What is the age rating for The Great White App?

The app has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for younger audiences interested in marine life.
