## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — You can’t see other people’s sitings

*2024-10-10, version 3.1.8*

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

### 1/5 — not worth your time

*2022-08-28*

it doesn’t really do much .

### 1/5 — Stuck in the help window

*2020-02-28, version 1.3.2*

Can’t use this as I’m stuck in the help window.

### 1/5 — Show me the whales

*2015-06-22, version 1.0.2*

Doesn't show reports of whale sightings

### 2/5 — Only researchers can see submitted info

*2015-06-23, version 1.0.2*

Agree with previous review about no whale info. App seems well set up but only people that seem to be able to see the reports is the researchers (not much incentive to report sightings).

### 3/5 — Not what I expected…

*2024-05-28*

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…

### 3/5 — App freezes often

*2022-02-21, version 2.0.8*

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.

### 3/5 — Lost History

*2019-10-18, version 1.3.2*

This has been a great app that I have used for years. 
The new update today requires you to re-register and loses all history of previous reports.

### 4/5 — Bug report

*2020-01-12, version 1.3.2*

Was great, I opened up the app to report a lone humpback 20 minutes ago and the app appears to be stuck in a help menu or how to use the app page.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-09-01, version 2.0.8*

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!

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great tool to help cetacean conservation & research

*2017-07-04, version 1.1.1*

I have been using this app ever since it became available and love its simplicity. It allows anyone on the water to report whale sightings instantly to the network or at a later date if you are out of cell range. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — This app rocks!

*2015-05-04, version 1.0*

Love how easy the app is to use. Report workflow is comprehensive, but super fast. Especially love the species identification tools. Takes so much of the guess work out. Nice work BC Cetacean network!
