Whale and Dolphin Tracker

It’s shonky

Seems account creation is required. Very annoying “Captcha text does not match” error reported after entering account creation details. I tried entering every possible variation of what the captcha text image could have been. If the image is that hard to decipher there is a problem.

Though you can’t see where sightings are you can add sightings, which is what the app is made for…

Does this app do anything at all? Don’t download it.

Don’t download this

Too hard to put in a sighting or look at sightings near by. For some reason even if you allow the app to track your location while using it, it still says it does not have access to your location. Giving it access all the time is ridiculous. Next allow the user to drop a pin where sighting is. I was on shore and say dolphins swim by but now it looks like they were on shore. Next why do I have to select from a group of only your boats? Allow others like on shore, type in a name, unknown. Hopefully it gets help otherwise do not bother.

Since I travel to Maui multiple times a year, I like to track where they are seeing whales before I come. I downloaded this to see where whales have been sighted in Maui. Used to be able to see it on their website, can’t do that any more, so downloaded this app. It defaults to my land based home location (no whales ever here) and there’s no way to set the geo locator to Maui, so no way to see the whales being spotted there. Total fail on this app.

How do I go I browse whale sightings international?

We were surrounded by whales on our boat recently, and I tried to put an entry into the app, but there’s too much information that is “required”, it became time consuming, and I decided to not worry about it, because I was missing the whales! It would be nice if there was a “short” form version of the app, for users without all of the technical information, and then an option to include more information, if you choose. I wanted to love this app, especially as a new boat owner, but it’s not as helpful as I’d hoped, and too much to do to use it in the moment.
