VesselFinder Lite

This used to be a handy little App with lots of info, photos etc, but now it is a complete waste of time. I have just deleted it as it won’t provide the name of a ship when you click on the ship icon! What good is that? I assume they want you to upgrade to the Pro version but $14.99 is a bit steep when there are other free apps around with way more information.

I had a lot of issues with the previous versions of this app but now it’s better than ever. Great work!

This app is useless, good half hour behind where the ships are! Four ships showing ready to come through rip, binoculars reveal the third one going through first two nowhere to be seen ! Doesn’t show the pilot vessels anymore even though you can see them with your own vision going out to the ships.

Up to u, but this is just a teaser to get you to purchase the “pro version”! Just get marine traffic instead and bypass this one!

Fairly plain vanilla looking app, but it works perfectly fine. You can search for ships by name and track their progress in real time. The app updates the position of the ship you are tracking every 60 seconds, and extra information about each ship (where known) is available with the tap of a finger. Perfect for the amateur hobbyist.

Good app for the average user to look at what ships and other water craft is around. Would like to be able to remove advertising, but the pro version is very expensive for just ad removal, considering I wouldn't use the other pro features. Map update is considerably slow to update when moving or zooming, but does eventually update.

Mapping quality is extremely poor (almost has no zoom functionality), they really need to lay down another background source. Picture of the vessel when first tapping on it would be much better. Map is extremely slow to refresh when moving around.

Shuts down all the time Doesn't update as it should Expensive

Ship location is either days old or it sank in the Caribbean.

The free version is not too bad, but not great. Shows outdated ship position info. For example, I was tracking container ship CMA CGM Saigon. This app had ship position 13 days old. Marine traffic had AIS position 2 minutes old. Not worth $10 to me for more accurate ship position. I was looking to see if i could find something better than Marine Traffic, guess there isn't one.
