VesselFinder Pro discontinued

I bought VesselFinder Pro App for a one off fee. The developers then removed this app without telling me and switched me back to the ‘improved’ free version when new subscription tiers were established. Crucially, I paid this company for something they discontinued and I am no longer able to search ETA or destination for ships- which I was always able to on the pro version that I paid for. I did receive a long ‘cut and paste’ generic reply from the company which had a lot of words yet said nothing. They won’t give a refund 👎

This App has become worthless

We have used this app for many years and within the last six months it has become absolutely worthless. Ships disappear or change colors from one type to another while you are looking at the screen. Updates are often nearly an hour beyond on vessels who do not limit their access. Off to find another app thats at least better than this one. Always enjoyed this one over others but no more.

Poor Signal

Don’t always pick up the vessels is I have to use marine traffic to find them.

Great app

FAQ

What does VesselFinder do?

VesselFinder provides real-time information on ship positions and movements worldwide. It uses a network of AIS receivers to deliver insights into global maritime activity, including vessel tracking, movement history, and predicted routes.

What are the key features of VesselFinder?

Key features include real-time tracking of over 300,000 vessels daily, vessel movement history with track visualization, predicted routes and ETAs, comprehensive vessel particulars, port call details, and the ability to save favorite vessels in 'My Fleet'.

Is VesselFinder free to use?

The app is free to download and use with ads. Extended real-time coverage via satellite and roaming AIS sources is available through a subscription, indicating a freemium or free with in-app purchases model.

What kind of information can I find about a vessel?

You can find detailed vessel particulars, including technical specifications and cargo capacity information. Additionally, contact details for the owning company, manager, and ISM manager are often available, along with port call history.

How accurate is the vessel tracking data?

VesselFinder strives for accuracy using a powerful network of AIS receivers. However, vessel visibility depends on AIS signal availability, and while near-shore coverage is consistent, the completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed.
