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.
Hooray!

So glad it's working now — thank you for updating your review, it genuinely made our day! 🐋 As a thank-you for your patience while we sorted this out, we'd love to give you one full year of Whale Tracker free. Just reach out to us through the in-app support email and we'll set it up right away. Happy whale tracking! — Whale Tracker Team
Loved it in the beginning
Response from developer
Hi Kierst — we'd love to give you a full year of Whale Tracker, free, because you deserve way better than this. Nothing scammy was going on, though we completely understand why it felt that way: a bug on our end locked out people who'd already paid and then wouldn't let them repurchase. That's on us, and it's now fixed in the latest update. Please update the app and tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of the paywall — your existing subscription reconnects instantly with no new charge. Once you're back in, reach out via in-app support or reply here and we'll add the free year to your account. We loved having you that first week and we'd really love to keep you. 🐋 — Whale Tracker Team

Hi Andrea — first off, we'd love to give you a full year of Whale Tracker, free, for putting up with this. You paid and you should never have been locked out — that was a bug on our end that kept asking paying users to buy again. It's now fixed in the latest update: just update the app and tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of the paywall and your subscription reconnects instantly, no new charge. Once you're back in, reach out through the in-app support link or reply here and we'll get that free year on your account. Thank you for sticking with us — there are humpbacks, orcas, and grays waiting for you out there! 🐋 — Whale Tracker Team

Great for seeing whales!

Hej Svenfromsweden89 — tack! We’re so happy Whale Tracker helped you find pods and bring home great photos from Alaska. That’s the dream: simple tools that help create amazing memories with friends and family. We’re working on even better international coverage and smarter “new sightings” highlights—stay tuned. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure! 🐳📍✨
Lots of whales with great data!

Essential for Whale Watching in Vancouver 🌊🐋
Response from developer
Thanks so much for the awesome review and for whale-watching with us in Vancouver! 🐋💙 We’ve just shipped v2.0 with smoother maps, a New Sightings (≤7d) focus, and refreshed guides for orcas and humpbacks. If you haven’t updated yet, give it a try—and if you spot anything we can improve (or want more regions covered), we’d love to hear from you at stephenhartwd@gmail.com . Safe watching and thank you for supporting responsible wildlife viewing! 🙏
Great travel app!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙌 We’re thrilled Whale Tracker helped on your coastal trip—especially for identifying pods with the kids. In v2.0 we refreshed the Learn guides and added a Whale Quiz for fun on the drive between spots. If there’s anything that would make family trips even easier (or regions you’d like covered), we’d love to hear it: stephenhartwd@gmail.com . Happy spotting and safe adventures! 🐋💙
