Changed the Map
It does show the Sharks names anymore, I don’t know why they changed it. You have an add half the size of the page at the bottom. The Map looks awful and hard to tell where the sharks are actually located.

I live out in western Massachusetts. Now the map starts at my house compared to when this app started out and went straight to Cape Cod
I used to look at this app daily in the summer to check in on what all the sharks near me were up to. I enjoyed seeing their progress up and down the Cape as they triggered the beacons. However with the “upgrade” I find the app far less intuitive and rarely use it now. Typically all I see now when I log in are reports of predation. Perhaps the beacons are no longer in use or there’s a way to tweak settings I haven’t discovered. As is the app is far less interesting without seeing the named sharks pop up. The simplicity of the old app was its strength!
Used this app frequently last year and it was great, could easily navigate it and see what was happening in the area where I was. Somehow the the update was an actual downgrade in UX. Previously you could have both sightings and pings and you could easily see what was going on around you. Somehow this update I’m getting pings from Halifax even though I’m in Cape Cod. The updated look is great however the functionality and UX is lacking after the update.
To confusing, want to be able to simply identify if there are any shark sightings where at my location…
I dont like the update. Bring back the old app where you can actually see sighted sharks. Cape Cod has luke NONE and i know that's not happening with all the seals to feed off of. Time to delete this app!!!!
I submitted a report that our boat went right over a great white shark and they ghosted me. I gave approx measurements location and description.maybe because I didn’t have a picture ? I’ve seen them before not my first rodeo. Given that it was only 8 miles from shore I figured it would be reported. Not very accurate if your not reporting all sightings!
The new one is inaccurate and confusing. Too much information.
This app used to be one of my favorites, every spring, tracking all the sharks and sightings. But this year it is just a collection of photographs of dead seals. They need to either restrict dead seal sightings altogether (because they're not sharks) or create a category when you log a sighting that it is in fact, a dead seal. Until they focus back on actual shark sightings, I'm taking a break.
It used to be great. The changes are terrible. Bring back the old app
