I found my current boat here. I am tired of having to sign in repeatedly though. Searches don’t work very well on my iPhone either. The sign in is my biggest complaint. Update the search function has stopped working. I searched Ta Shing and got one boat but I know there are others. I searched Ta Chiao and there aren’t any. ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-06-17, version 1.19.8* It’s a good resource for seeing what’s out there. I found my current boat here. I am tired of having to sign in repeatedly though. Searches don’t work very well on my iPhone either. The sign is my biggest complaint. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2026-04-23, version 1.18.2* Unfortunately this app has been going downhill for me lately. When I do a search, it often shows the same listings, multiple times in the results. So irritating! The app often completely crashes and shuts down randomly for no reason. Sucks. ### 4/5 — Dream a little dream *2026-04-03, version 1.18.1* I found my current boat on yacht world 8 years ago. It’s a great resource. It doesn’t work very well on my iPhone but that doesn’t stop me from spending time looking what’s on the market. My favorite waste of time. ### 2/5 — Glitches never fixed *2026-01-31, version 1.17.5* After saving yachts your interested in it will only show 10 or so and cannot scroll to see the rest. Sent email to website and never responded or bothered to fix ### 1/5 — No landscape view *2025-12-20, version 1.17.4* Why did you dump landscape view with this version of the app? Don’t you know there are millions of iPad users out here? Real head-scratcher……I don’t use this app any more-it’s a shame. ### 1/5 — I tried to search and it doesn’t work *2025-12-03, version 1.17.2* I tried to search boats that were obviously in the range and when I start typing the brand or the model, nothing comes up. I didn’t expand to the entire country where there should be at least hundreds of them yet there is nothing. ### 1/5 — Constant Location Prompts Ruin the Experience *2025-10-08, version 1.16.2* Every time I try to search for a boat on the YachtWorld app, it immediately asks to access my location. Declining once should be enough, but no — it keeps asking again and again, especially anytime I adjust search filters. I shouldn’t have to share my location just to browse listings. This kind of persistence crosses the line from annoying to invasive. It feels like the app values my location data more than my user experience. I just want to search for boats, not fight off privacy prompts every 30 seconds. Until they fix this, I’ll be using the website instead. ### 2/5 — Critical feature problem *2025-10-01, version 1.16.2* When I search for a keyword, nothing happens. Like it’s frozen or something. I can’t just search for a word in the title of a listing I found on the website at a desktop. No search function seems to work. I can’t browse and use the filters to narrow things down but searching is broken. On iPhone 16 Pro. ### 3/5 — Refuses to keep distance setting *2025-09-19, version 1.16.2* It’s a constant battle to reset the distance from my location. It resets itself to 200 miles and needs manually sliding every search. We live inland right now so that’s both annoying and useless ### 1/5 — Edit: new update doesn’t work at all! *2025-09-05, version 1.16.2* Edit: New release is telling me there isn’t a single boat for sale in the world, I guess that’s one way of fixing the broken search function! ### 2/5 — Still buggy! *2025-09-01, version 1.16.1* App is vastly inferior to website. Search criteria can be entered equally well, but when scrolling through the results, the app suddenly goes blank for the latter half of those results and it becomes unusable. This happens on both IOS and Android and at different Wi-Fi/cell locations. For what I’ve heard brokers have to pay for this service, the app should be flawless!! ### 1/5 — Does not rotate on iPad *2025-08-30, version 1.16.1* At this age, the app that is not able to detect the hardware it is running on to properly render is destined for failure. ### 3/5 — Waste of energy *2025-08-24, version 1.16.1* Find alternate search tool. This app crashes every time it is used. This is what happens when a company monopolizes the space. Fortunately, you can garner enough info to find a boat you’re interested in by other means ### 3/5 — App could use some bug fixes *2025-07-17, version 1.15.4* It’s generally fine but when you try to find any MasterCraft boats by using their search filter it shows zero results. Despite a few hundred boats being on there from that manufacturer. Sometimes the pictures just don’t load for some reason and the only fix is completely restart the phone. Quality control here is not great. Otherwise pretty good app. ### 1/5 — Not Usable *2025-07-16, version 1.15.4* They managed to make a really bad app unusable! This app has always been clunky and prone to crashing, but with the latest update it is officially useless. I have resorted to Googling boats for sale and clicking through from there to find listings of interest. ### 1/5 — Absolutely aweful *2025-07-07, version 1.15.4* The search function on this app has always been terrible and the more they update it the worse it gets. Just when you think they can’t make it worse they manage to surprise you. With the latest update it as reached absolutely awful status. You are better off googling a boat you want to find than trying to search in the app. It’s really too bad that this has become the only way to find a used boat. ### 1/5 — Ok *2025-07-05, version 1.15.4* It’s not a bad app, but since the update, I can only search beer me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Instacrash - unusable *2026-08-23, version 1.20.0* The August 12th release won’t load. ### 1/5 — Changed for the worse *2026-08-03, version 1.19.12* Your newest search version sucks. You better hurry back to the old one ### 1/5 — Dude *2026-07-17, version 1.19.10* Not even your stupid review section works right!!!!! Delete this off the App Store I’m contacting Apple support to remove you!!!!!!!! Count your days achtworld ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-06-03, version 1.19.6* It used to be great. Whoever your software developers are, you need to fire them. ### 1/5 — Useless company *2026-05-08, version 1.18.3* Horrible app. Can not sort by proper makes models etc. There are way too many options. They are a wast. Galati new website is where it’s at now for boat listings! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-29, version 1.18.3* Too stupid to match geography or have an accurate count. Has always sucked. All the positive reviews have to be plants. ### 1/5 — Only 5 manufacturers searches per.??? *2026-04-25, version 1.18.2* Just a money grab selling commercials and charging brokers monthly???? ### 1/5 — Bugged Filters *2026-04-23, version 1.18.2* The location filter is bugged. It always reverts to 200 miles returning 0 results. No matter how many times I reset the filter it reverts to 200. I guess I’m limited to the website only for now. ### 1/5 — It just keeps getting worse *2026-04-08, version 1.18.1* The app just doesn’t work. Delete it and use the web page. ### 1/5 — annoying *2026-03-31, version 1.18.1* this used to be a good platform ... now flooded with co-ownership listings. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great IOS app one bug *2026-05-17, version 1.19.2* The visual design and UI is specifically tailored for mobile from the ground up, and it shines. One issue is that different scroll speeds in “saved listings” can prevent the user from being able to scroll to the bottom. ### 5/5 — Filter on location update *2025-06-16, version 1.15.0* Hate the change. I preferred the option to filter on country and state. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-05-08, version 1.14.4* Easy to browse and navigate ### 5/5 — Perfect Amazing *2024-12-31, version 1.12.18* Yeah ### 5/5 — New version doesn’t crash! *2024-12-15, version 1.12.16* New version fixed buggy issue that would always crash my app! Also like it returns to spot in search. Keep it up thanks ### 5/5 — Nice Redesign w/ Simpler Interface *2024-12-11, version 1.12.16* Previously the app was kind of a nightmare to navigate and scroll through, but since a redesign was launched the app is much more sleek and simple. I love the emphasis on quality photos and the not overwhelming filters to search. Hope more improvements like this continue. ### 5/5 — Thank you YachtWorld *2024-12-08, version 1.12.15* It’s amazing to able see and come close to so many people and their boats with so much detail and information from thousand of miles away. ### 5/5 — Lots of product advertised *2024-12-06, version 1.12.15* Good filters ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-12-06, version 1.12.15* Love it ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-12-02, version 1.12.15* Great platform! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
