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.

Avis

L applications est vraiment très bien mais les prix pour des plus sont affolant il voudrait moins de chimistes payantes

Poor Signal

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

Great app

I wish more commercial/sport fishing boats would leave their’s on

Couverture partielle

En de nombreux endroits peu fréquentés, il n’y a pas de récepteurs mais c’est l’application la plus performante du marché en 2026

Massive Lag

The position of vessels know to us is sometimes 2 or 3 days old, even though our friends tell us their AIS is transmitting. I keep getting a prompt to upgrade to satellite positioning for £300 a year, which is odd when it is effectively available for free. Started well and switched from Marine Traffic but it’s heading in the same monetisation direction.

Werbung gut und schön, aber

Es erscheinen Mitteilungen, die gefakte Google-Mitteilungen öffnen. Darin die Mitteilung, dass mein iPhone mit Viren verseucht ist und ich im Appstore einen bestimmten Virenscanner laden soll. Pfui zu solcher Werbung.
Schade, denn nach Umstellung von Marinetraffic, hatte ich mich gerade mit Vesselfinder angefreundet

Top Notch program

With the fleet feature and the embed code our website just got a lot more interesting.

God

currently useless

Currently updates are not working so the app doesn’t work. Even on my pro subscription

Dysfonctionnements

En ce moment l’application ne fonctionne que par à coup.
Aujourd’hui je ne trouve pas mon voilier zen3.
J’ai effectué mardi 14 juillet le trajet :
Rosas. /. Marseillan et peu de trace mis à part la première heure.
Avez vous un problème ?

Good free options

I have used marine traffic for a while but giving this a go as it seems to provide more options

Glad to have changed from the basic downgraded marine traffic to vessel finder - 👏🏻

Delighted to see land markings on the maps - easy to track my vessels - does what it says - perfect !

BARTAVELLE II

Non conforme - photo 1 et dimensions voilier ne correspondent pas à mon voilier. Comment le changer

Update

Nach dem letzten Update der light Version, kann man keine Distanzen mehr ausmessen. Sehr schlechte Entscheidung der Entwickler!

Bateau fixe

L’appli me met le bateau a Porto Santo , alors que nous sommes a Madere , marina Quinta do Lorde !!!

Mediocre app

The free version is buggy, often stuck on “doing maintenance”. To force you to the paid version the app voluntarily does not display your position. After you anchor, it shows you in limbo several miles out

Sehr gut

Man sieht sehr genaue Daten der Yacht

Fehlerhaft

Zeigt die meisten großen Schiffe nie an, wo andere Apps was anzeigen. Hier aktuell müsste ein Kreuzfahrtschiff zu sehen sein, für VesselFinder existiert es nicht. App gelöscht.
