User reviews

Very useful

This app is amazing! Perfect for whale sightings around BC.

Worth downloading

Found this app before our vacation and ended up seeing humpbacks on our second day. Definitely keeping it for future trips!

Must have

Great app, I used this for a day out with my family and we spotted few good looking whales. If you love marine life this is definitely a must have!

You can’t use the app unless you pay

There’s no way to use this without paying , not even a free trial. don’t get this

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the honest feedback — and sorry the paywall put you off. We want you to actually experience everything Whale Tracker does, so if you email us at Stephenhartwd@gmail.com we’ll set you up with a free year on us, no strings attached. Just mention this review so we know it’s you. Hope to hear from you! 🐋

Fake

This app is awful. Completely fake, only posts old sightings, useless.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — we hear you, and we take data freshness seriously. Whale Tracker pulls from over 60 verified sources worldwide and updates automatically. We recently expanded our coverage significantly, including new New Zealand and Australian sources, and moved to a real-time data system so sightings appear on the map within minutes of being reported. If sightings looked stale when you tried the app, we'd genuinely like to know which area you were looking at — some regions simply have fewer active reporting networks than others, and that's something we're continuously working to improve. We're not perfect, but we're not fake — and we're building the most comprehensive whale sighting dataset available to any consumer app anywhere. We'd welcome you back to give it another try.
