Many alerts for one whale confirmation

Gives many alerts over hours for one whale confirmation. Making it seem like there's multiple. Other than that I love the app

Lousy App

I’ve been trying to report a whale sighting a number of times but a month later and it still doesn’t show up.

Love this app. My guests love the rare opportunity to see the whales (Respectfully from a distance, engine/sonar off.) I still get excited myself each time. Also gives a heads up caution while passing thru an area.
