PROBLEMS LOGGING IN
Always same, miss information
Inaccurate data
Response from developer
Hello there, seems you are seeing the default view on the app. Please see on the right there is an icon where you filter sightings by Today, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and Last 12 months. Depends on where you are viewing the app, we show you the data that is available. Hope this resolves your query. Thank you.
No sightings

Hi there, you probably checked this earlier in the season. We rely on community, whale watching enthusiasts, professionals and service providers such as photographers, videographers and generally the whale watching enthusiasts community to keep the sightings coming into the app. The app is also a world wide app now, so not just NSW or just Australia and we are working on our relationships with others around the world. There are a lot more users now, and hence a lot more sightings too on the app. So, thank you for being a user and a whale enthusiast. More so, thank you for your support to an Australian business who has built this app as a free self funded app for the community. Please be on the lookout for a notification as we are also adding a list view with time and date stamps on the sightings. Cheers!
Date filter
Response from developer
hey there. we have added a list view and a map view that sorts out by latest first (and also what is closest to your device location) but yes – we have a few others who have asked for a filter by date and filter by region too. Please bear with us as we work through this. Thank you. WhaleWatch team @ Mobiddiction
Poor functionality
Updated comment based on latest app update. yes it has improved however my suggestion to make it more useful based on an app that used to be out there before for the same thing so I’m only copying pasting ideas… P.S. not sure what happened to the old app…
1. Filter options should have recent sighting as in last day and seperate for older sighting so people know what’s relevant.
2. Currently There is a search option with a drop down list, but coordinates is all you get when you click on it not very practical for most people using this for sight seeing. Should take you to the map to see where the sighting was.
Apart from that keep up the good work 🙂

Sorry to disappoint you but but....one star -- that's sad :( You know we've been working on this for several months and is a completely free community driven free designed and built right here in Australian, by a small business with no commercial interest. But please stay tuned as we are soon going to have a list view too so the latest will be on top. This also means you will see the time and date too. We hope you will change your rating once we release this update soon. Our Mobiddiction team is onto it.....Cheers.
Great App Growing day by day

Date and time
Response from developer
Hi there, this has been one of the most common and most requested features. We are adding a tab which will have a list view sorted by latest on the top. This means you will be able to view the sightings by date and time. We will be sure to send out a push notification is ready, we are hoping in the next day or so. As you would appreciate this is a free app built and managed by us in Australia for the community of whale watching enthusiasts so please bear with us. Thank you.
