Ship Finder

Down loaded Ship Finder Lite app first and was disappointed it did not show three cruise ships passing my hotel while vacationing in the Bahamas. So I downloaded for $4.99 the Ship Finder app with same disappointing results. Cannot not find a cruise ship tracking app that is any good. I wish there was a app like flight radar 24. Do not waste your money on this app.

This used to be an awesome app, the equivalent of Flightradar24 for ships. That was years ago, now it barely shows any ships at all: on an average day, it displays less than half those visible on Marine Traffic, so why bother?

I wanted to track a vessel that carries my container to Europe but after a few days in the Caribbean it is untracked and i can’t see where it is. I found more info online and for free. Please don’t waste your money and believe the description. It’s not much money but it’s not worth it.

Was hoping the search bar worked

Once in awhile the app doesn’t recognize ships but that’s rare. Love that I can see what ships are coming down the river in front of my campsite.

You can't see the route of the any ships at all. Don't pay money for it at all The latest update is about 5 years ago!!!

I find it easy to locate my cruise ship with Ship Finder.

Unless something happened with the download I can’t tell this app is completely and totally useless. I work in the Gulf of Mexico which means I have to go to Port Fourchon and locate boats there. It doesn’t show anything in the Gulf of Mexico. I don’t know how that’s possible because one of the biggest ports is there

I had high hopes for this when I upgraded from the Lite version, but the thrill is quickly leaving. The first thing I found was random boats traveling at 1177MPH. The developer acknowledges this is a bug. Now, with Crab season starting in Alaska I have been watching all the Deadliest Catch fleet moving into the area, but now ALL of Alaska has lost AIS coverage for this app only! This is a hobbiest viewer app, nothing more, and now one of the key places to follow boats in the US has been lost on this app. Why? Additionally when on the Calif coast looking at marine traffic I can also clearly see the oil platforms that I have already requested be included because they are marine obstacles and nice to locate on the map. There are a very few that show on Ship Finder, but they come and go randomly. Maybe there for a day or two, then gone for weeks. That’s useless too

We’re tracking a cargo vessel from the USA to Lisbon but were disappointed to find that tracking doesn’t work until vessels are relatively close to land. Aside from that, the app is great.
