The visibility of vessels in this application depends on AIS signal availability. If a particular vessel is out of our AIS coverage zone, VesselFinder displays her last reported position and updates it as soon as the vessel comes into range. The completeness and accuracy of the information provided cannot be guaranteed.

Just deleted this app
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.
This update has improved it dramatically
I had a lot of issues with the previous versions of this app but now it’s better than ever. Great work!
Vessel finder lite
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.
Click bait for the expensive version
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!
Very handy app
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 In General
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.
Has potential but not worth paying for the Pro version.
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.
Don't bother
Shuts down all the time
Doesn't update as it should
Expensive
