It's an ok app, but there's some annoying attributes that could make a big difference. Search is slow, then when you select a ship, the app decides the zoom level. When you zoom out, the pin and ship tend to disappear, until you go to search again, which doesn't cache the previous results.

Like it happens in any of the application that ONCE an EFFORT is required to LEARN where everything is placed and when you come to know it's like a child play. Great BATTERY BACKUP, NO HANGING PROBLEM, you also have an option to switch off it to save MORE of BATTERY when it is of NO USE. Notification process generated never lets you miss by ANY CHANCE. Worth buying + budget friendly

Guys you're headed in the right direction, but there's a lot of additional options you need to add. One being a users "Fleet" where they can add their favorite ships they watch the most. Also, the option for users to add pictures of these ships. Also, more ship data. I use an app called FindShip which is unfortunately no longer available in the Google store, but it is available as apk file to download and use. It is far superior to your app now, but you can change that. If you want.

2 Nov - the app just updated today and it's back to functional. Thanks for fixing that. Good app again. 31 Oct - A very nice app prior to 9 Oct upgrade, after that nearly useless. Used to show all ships in the Great Lakes when zoomed out, now spotty if it will show ships or say "No ships found" at large overviews, and also spotty when zooming in, doesn't always show the ships. That's really unfortunate because it was a really nice app prior, very much enjoyed it.

Edit.. 5/1/2024 The app is now functional Not sure what the problem was. I have paid for this app and cannot see my AIS . Stopped working about 3 days ago and has deleted all my history. It shows my last position just sw of Africa and I've never sailed there. I can see that everything shows as correct on marine traffic. Got your reply, will do 👍

App appears to have a bug. I can no longer search for boats. The app closes when I try. I'm also unable to access the info about a boat by clicking on the "I" symbol. The app closes doing this also. Otherwise, love this app!

Poor. Doesn't show all vessels in the area, only the larger ones. Edit. I can assure you I have my AIS on and it's functioning. The fishing vessel next to me has theirs switched on as well. I can see both on an other app but not on your app.

The ships that I am trying to track are consistently "out of range" though they are both in the Caribbean / en route to the Caribbean. I purchased the upgrade to no avail. It shows other ships beyond where the two ships I am tracking. Please provide a refund.
