Sharktivity by AWSC

Your update ruined this app. I see shark sightings on the news close to my beach but nothing on your app. I live on the ocean in MA.

Not every sighting is posted

Coming from a paranoid peraon this app is amazing to see where sharos are. They are my biggest fear and i saw this app on a sign at my beach in Massachusetts

SHARKIE

I’ve been using Sharktivity for a couple years now. Before it was updated this past year, the app opened to a map showing pings by sharks in the period of time it was set to (I usually have mine set to show pings in the last week). Now it opens to my location and I have to move the map to the area I want to view. The only exception is when I click on a notification of a shark alert from the home screen of my phone and then it only shows the current ping and not all activity for the past week. I understand that the previous app behavior and setup is very similar to that of Ocearch, but as a user, that’s exactly what I expect to see when I open the app cold and not from a notification. During the year I regularly check for shark activity so I am opening the app before receiving a notification almost daily. Please consider returning to the former interface that shows all shark activity by default when the app is opened. (I already know where I am so you don’t need to show me that. 😉) Thank you for all your work with these beautiful creatures.

I am a new englander and often visit the cape, found that the old version of this app to be very helpful in being mindful of sharks. This latest update is not worth looking at it barely shows activity and is not user friendly. Sometimes things are best left alone like the old version.

this used to be a great app, but they “improved” it it is useless just go back to what you had. THIS DOES NOT WORK.

The old format ie knowing the location of the sightings was - off what beach etc was much easier than reading coordinates when using for vacation info. Thank you.

The new app is terrible. It’s much harder to navigate through and filter.

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.
