Keeps closing

Notorious Clg

I use this app to track ships for work, this is been increasingly difficult to do when the app keeps force closing itself when I try to open it. Please fix this issue soon.

Good for general vicinity (within 100 miles, maybe) but VERY difficult to zoom in for more precise location, particularly for the west coast of North America, on up to Alaska. Map does not come up automatically very well. The "pan" to the west using a finger swipe on the map automatically resets to east coast of Russia if you go too far. Then you have to start over. Happens on both the iPad and the iPhone so I know its not just my device. Frustrating. The regular website is MUCH better. This app is not worth the $2.99, yet.

Not good

Have to echo previous comment. Can't zoom in on the west coast, making it useless for my needs. Anyway to get my money back??

Don't waste your money.

This app doesn't work on my iPhone. Why are these apps not tested before release..,the zoom in for Victoria and Vancouver is a disaster, the screen always pop to the East Asian coast line..I cannot understand why these apps are released to make $$$ and they don't even work.. Update: still the same issue ...nobody cares and nobody is responsible... In the meantime the App Store makes the money on app's that don't work... Something is not right Apple !!!

Great Coverage US Gulf Coast

This is the hands down BEST marine AIS app around. It has the most coverage of the US gulf coast where I work from New Orleans to Corpus Christi.

Overpriced

Functional in my area ( SE New England). Way overpriced compared to other AIS apps. Marine Traffic has many more features and costs less. I especially don't like that you can't zoom to your own location. It does have better coverage of the cape and islands than MT or Shipfinder. I wish to amend my original review. Vessel Finder has become my goto app for vessel tracking. This is not a hobby, I am a professional mariner who uses this tool daily. While vessel Finder still doesn't have all the fluff, it does have current, accurate info on what is around and what I am likely to encounter in the next couple of hours. Don't change anything.

Data not reliable

ApUser91301

This app is a major disappointment! It looks good in the iTunes store, and interface does seem like it should be good, but they don't maintain their database. I was able to cross check ship positions to verify inaccurate information presented by app, which is worse than no data. This is one app I wouldn't recommend. It's a rip off.

Not user friendly at all

Compared to marinetraffic, this app is really lousy. It does not worth my money at all.

Works excellent! Depending on the vessell

Apparently, after ready some reviews, the vessel I monitor has much better communication with this app then some. Every time I open the app the vessel I monitor, which is in the Gulf of Mexico, is immediately updated and I confirm this with a crew member sometimes to confirm the accuracy of the application.

Crashes every time you select a vessel!

I've got an iphone5, it doesn't work. Just crashes!! Frustrating cause I paid $7 for NOTHING! Grrr..neat idea, but next time test it before selling it on iTunes! Please fix, ASAP! Then I will write a decent review.
