User reviews

You can’t see other people’s sitings

You can report but not see or learn about other sitings . Useless

Not what I expected…

I had hoped to see timely reports of sea life sightings, however I found a lot of information about protection procedures and programs, but the web link to the report blog is broken (may 28,2024). I wonder if any of the submissions of sightings actually go anywhere…

not worth your time

it doesn’t really do much .

App freezes often

After set up my profile I filed a report of sighting and App froze after selecting 2 pictures from my iPad Version 14.8. Rebooting didn’t help.

Awesome

Well designed app that helps monitor the position of whales and protect them from potential ship strikes. Fun way to help with some citizen science. Highly recommend!
