## Boat Watch Description
Ever wanted to know more about ships and boats, or track a vessel around the globe? Boat Watch lets you spot and identify boats and ships in an instant.

The Pro In-App purchase even sends you alerts when a boat you track sets sail or arrives - perfect for people with loved ones at sea, for tracking ferries and rescue vessels - or following cargo across the world!

Boat Watch is free to use for 1 month and offers...

* Spot any boat or ship via real-time AIS network
* See the name, type and destination of each vessel
* Set any boat as a favorite, and track it on the map
* Search and find boats and places 

After 1 month a Pro upgrade is needed to continue getting live ship positions.

Pro upgrade ( lifetime or yearly subscription):-
* Real-time ship positions updates
* Full boat information - picture, speed, where its from, etc.
* Show boats' recent tracks
* Set multiple favorite boats, to find them easily
* Get alerts when a tracked boat arrives or departs
* OpenSeaMap charts with buoys, lighthouses & shipping lanes
* Filter ships on type to declutter the view and show more vessels of the type required.

3 other optional IAP upgrades are also available:- 

Live View upgrade ( one time purchase):-
*Augmented Reality view to identify and spot boats using your camera
*View boats true to scale and with Apple Maps amazing 3D views when zoomed in

PortWatch (subscription):-
- set a radar alarm ring around an area (0.5 to 10nm)
- get notified when any ship is entering or exiting a port or area. Early alert for all ferries, cruise or cargo ships arriving at a port.
- alerts when ships are passing or approaching a location. Great for folks who live by the water and want to know when a ship is approaching. 

You can set your gps position or the current map centre as the PortWatch location and the radar alert range from 0.5nm to 10nm.

Fleet upgrade ( subscription):
* Fleet - set and receive arrival and departure alerts for multiple boats

Boat Watch also gives you the option to buy official NOAA nautical charts for the US and UKHO Admiralty derived charts for the UK&IE so you get the same view of the ocean as the ship's navigator. See the shipping channels, buoys, lights and hazards and why a ship is taking a particular route.

## Boat Watch Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "rubbish"
not showing any boats around funchal
-- rolandwb, 2025-10-29

### ***-- "Ship filter button obscures augmented reality button"
I use the app almost daily and like it. However, not enough UI testing was done when the ship filter was added. The button lies on top of the augmented reality button making it impossible to enable the latter on iPhone and iPad. Please move either away from the other.
-- Renegade Pete, 2025-09-29

### *---- "Can not view ship"
upon trying to view the ship , it states with a warning that the website is not up to date.   No ship link can be opened
-- Cannon_Fodder_-0, 2025-09-17

### **--- "Not very good"
It worked ok but after i payed the £4.99 it hasn’t worked properly I can’t scroll on it
-- kinda1980, 2025-08-30

### *---- "Big Disappointment"
After spending a one off payment of £4.99 I was expecting the app to be add free. Oh well, you live and learn.
-- AndyAndrewAnd, 2025-05-08

### ****- "Sart Alarm"
I use this app regularly but on Friday a sart alarm went off at a yard in Great Yarmouth. HMCG were informed and the sart was turned off. But it is still showing on this app a day after it was switched off.
-- animalal, 2025-03-15

### *---- "Waste of time"
Just keeps saying ‘No ships on map’ - are you telling me that there are no ships in the whole English Channel?
-- Muttleybloke, 2025-03-10

### **--- "Not updating"
I like that you get notifications on when a ship leaves port but the app is unable to provide live updates on ships that show on other apps.
-- JoJo*68, 2024-12-17

### ***** "Great app"
I really enjoy looking at this app. So informative, and fun
-- Penlon, 2024-12-07

### *---- "Not free"
Keeps asking for subscriptions!!!!
-- 1argie, 2024-11-16
