Ship Finder Lite for Negative User Reviews
✓ Why’s it still available?So many people have given it bad reviews! I’m also wondering why you have to give your credit card info in order to use the app? Definitely fishy. They want you to upgrade to an app that actually works. Also, seems like a great app to pay for if you are an ocean shipping pirate! I’m not..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Intermittent ship locationsI purchased the full version of the ap to track certain cruise ships. Sometimes they are there then a few hours later they can’t be seen. Golden princess was visible while docked in Melbourne but as soon as it set sail it disappeared. Not worth buying..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Unfortunately unusablePoor pop us too much can’t use app I had payed for there full version in past but due to app updates they wanted more money even after I payed no thanks I feel ripped off don’t buy it.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Don’t waste your timeCan’t find anything.Version: 9.0.2
✓ Horrible now after some kind of changeThis app has went to crap last few weeks. Does t work at all and I paid 4.99 for it Used to be wonderful.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Far too many adsFirst minute of use loads of ads, some take over the whole screen for 5 seconds with music which will turn off the radio I usually listen to. Load of rubbish. Going to look for a better app..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Not greatI also use the computer site but the app does not show many vessels visible on my laptop. Frustrating. They clearly have the data but it does not appear on the app..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Pacific Eden PassengerDownloaded this app so I could track Pacific Eden. Shows most other ships except Eden. Paid $7.99 to find it. What a waste of money and time. Downloaded Vessel Finder lite and there I find Pacific Eden. Don’t purchase Ship Finder..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Was a good app...once.Used to be a good app. Now it is covered in adverts and absolutely no information relevant other than ships name, bullying a customer into paying for the upgraded (and usable) app is NOT the way to go..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Too much advertisingHad it on my phone less than 60 secs and was shown 3 ads. Deleted it straight away. Apps like these are little more than bait and switch vehicles and spam movers..Version: 9.0.0
✓ UsageCan’t get much of it if you don’t pay.Version: 9.1.1
✓ CrapThis app is a none stop effort to up grade every time you try to use it..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Ships MissingHundreds of ships are missing when comparing this app with other ship Finder apps. There must be something wrong with the backend integration. Currently useless until fixed..Version: 9.2.2
✓ UselessReally useless! Whatever you try to click it tries to sell full version. You can’t search for a ship, only shows map with all ships which readily available on websites..Version: 9.2.0
✓ Mr LW WeirI look out of the bay at Weymouth to see 4 cruise ships when checking on the App (to see what cruise ships they were) it shows me 2 in the bay. Very strange 😤.Version: 9.2.2
✓ DispicableRiddled with ads, that you can’t escape. Out of date information (hours out of date). Not good at all..Version: 9.2.2
✓ RubbishI'm sure that I'm not the only one who looks at free versions before buying premium. Inaccuracy (ships in the middle of land) and incessant pop up adverts, screwed any good will and encouragement to upgrade. Such a shame as this developers other apps are very good..Version: 8.0.0
✓ What happened to boat destinationsWe live near a small shipping port on Lake Erie. My grandson and I check to see what boat is coming to our port and the ETA. Where did this feature go?.Version: 9.2.2
✓ AnnoyingWe all know free apps have ads, that's fine. On this app the ads are very invasive..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Waste of downloadCan’t see any cruise ships. Waste of time downloading lite version. Have now deleted..Version: 9.2.2
✓ UnusableSo many ads (same one over and over) I spend more time waiting for them to end than I do using the app. I understand the need for ads but this is ridiculous. Save yourself the frustration and get something different. Deleted.Version: 8.0.0
✓ Way too many ads even for a free versionConstant pop up ads make it unusable. Limited area coverage of tracking, not worth buying the ad free version..Version: 8.0.0
✓ UselessHad the original ship finder free which became useless a while ago so I thought I would try the re-labeled "Lite" version before I laid out money for the paid version. It just never shows any ships in our area. At the moment I'm looking at two Bulk Carriers and a tanker anchored in outer Long Point bay on Lake Erie and nothing shows. It is showing NO ships on the Great Lakes except at the Locks on the Welland Canal. I guess the dozens of ships I have seen in the last two weeks have all sank and some how no one else noticed :-).Version: 9.0.2
✓ RubbishDon’t bother. Very basic information. Last 2 minutes on my phone, that’s with 30 seconds getting rid of adverts..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Great concept, but killed by pop up adsI am able to view the ship information, but a pop up ad every five clicks is pretty ridiculous. Banner ads are one thing. Annoying pop-ups are enough to cause me to delete the app. No app = no ad revenue. The app publisher needs to pay attention. FindShip is a free app that does the same thing, without as many ads..Version: 9.1.1
✓ No useful infoNo point in a free app, that shows you know information on the ships other than the name. Waste of downloading..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not much InfoI had the same app on my old phone and so much more information was available. The app now only gives you the name of the ship and if it is moving or still..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not updatingThis app used to be really good my grandson loves to use it, but recently I've noticed it isn't updating so is not much use now.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Some cities work, others?Not sure what is wrong. I see ships in Freeport, New York, St. Lawrence seaway, Great Lakes and St. John's NFL. But not in Miami, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax harbour. And there are ships, tugs and ferries there all the time..Version: 2.51
✓ Worst appWish I could rate 0 stars you have to get the full version to do anything interesting its ridiculous how many pop up ads there are.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Missing vessels on inland riversI am currently on the Illinois River and I can see where I am. I’m on a towboat and i zoomed into where I am and not all large vessels are covered. Wish I could see other boats near me while off watch and even while off the boat could find where my boat is. It’d be a lot cooler if u did..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Trying the trial versionNo traffic appears in my area. Cape Cod. They should tell you this is not everywhere. Won’t be buying.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Soon lost interestWay too many ads, I installed the app and give it a go but the ads kept coming. I know if I purchase the app the ads will not be an issue But if I can't trial it properly why would I buy..Version: 9.1.1
✓ No trackingNo tracking unless you pay. This service is free on other apps..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Paywall / Every ship SuspectedThis app marks every ship on its map as ‘Suspected’ in a nice bit red banner, yet offers NO explanation for this, unless you login. You can offer useful data in a free/lite app, there is no need to be this trivial about information that Should be shared freely..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Deleted it almost as soon as I downloaded….Cannot find rather search bar to find a vessel, because every-time I touch something, I get loud, obnoxious ads. I understand the purpose of ads, but not every 10 seconds. Irritating app. They want to force you to pay, but if I can’t get past the free version, you are not getting my money..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not cool...SF Lite shows EXACTLY ZERO vessels...Only your location is visible. You have to buy it. Plenty of other options out there. App Support takes you to photo sharing site for planes. Really!?! I’m deleting...even if developer fixes this bait/switch strategy..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Danger: loud ads without warningThis app looks interesting, but while using it just played a loud ad without warning, while my wife was lecturing from home. The loud noise resumed even when I left and reentered the app, so I can’t safely say any more about the app..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Don't buy it!Wouldn't pay for this. Searched Halifax Harbour and found no ships. Really? Free is the correct price for this app..Version: 2.51
✓ Total rubbishTried to use this, and was interrupted after a few clicks by a full screen ad. Used for a minute before deleting the app altogether. Avoid unless you like being interrupted all the time..Version: 9.1.1
✓ TerribleCompletely useless. You cannot search for a ship. Surely this is the only function that it should provide. Hopeless..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Very helpfulI live on an island within the operating area of one of the largest ferry systems in the world and use the app to check if ferries are on time. It's accurate and easy to use and helps me avoid long waits at ferry terminals when the boat is late. It's also good for timing kayaking trips to avoid ferries and other shipping..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Snap hillWhy would you even bother, this thing does nothing and if they expect you to buy the paid version in the basis of this rubbish, stay way!!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ All ads, no shipsDeleting..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Can’t make it workHappy to buy the paid version if the lite version could show me how it worked. Ads didn’t bother me, the fact it didn’t work stopped my purchase..Version: 9.2.2
✓ CommentaireAimerais voir apparaître le bateau et son nom lorsque je le vois de mes yeux..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Tec TimLittle detail and very frequent ads. Interesting app that makes you want to update to full version..Version: 9.2.2
✓ I need moreThe upgrade app is a little rich at $6.99 . Will think about it ..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Totally UselessI purchased all the up grades. Can’t even locate my own boat with all of the correct information. Other Apps can. I had hoped for a trade up, but this certainly isn’t it..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Doesn’t work for meI’m sitting staring at a ship that apparently doesn’t exist.Version: 9.2.0
✓ Daylight RoberyBought the ‘full version’ back in September 2012. Apparently, this ‘version’ no longer exists, so if i want a version without ads you have to pay £4.99 again. I’ve checked my download history and it’s there, it’s just not allowing me to download it again. How is this considered acceptable? Pay for it at your peril..Version: 9.1.1
✓ HmmmmmmWhy would I buy the paid version when the “lite” version does absolutely nothing. Does not show a thing other than a nice map of where I am. Not a single vessel..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Ok appMy husband works on a ship and sometimes the app finds his ship and other times says no ship in area when I know it is. Would be better if more reliable..Version: 2.51
✓ Nothing to see hereWhen I first got this app last year you could see a few ships here and there. Now it never seems to load you’re lucky to get one every once in a while. It even says sometimes zero or one ships out of 3000 to 4000 ships..Version: 9.2.2
✓ VERY POOR ATTEMPT AVOID, LOOK FOR SOMETHING ELSEOk, THIS IS FREE. However, its kind of useless without a functioning search facility. If you kind of know where the ship you are tracking is then by randomly stabbing at the screen can you actually find the one you are looking for. Filters, forget it, pay for it. Ads happen every 2 or 3 clicks so quickly becomes infuriatingly frustrating. In one word S**T..Version: 9.1.1
✓ DisappointingThis app does not show any of the boats in the Conn. River in Connecticut or the Long Island sound area. That would include mine and tens of others. All of which show up on my chart plotter..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not happyPreviously paid for this app a couple or so years ago, but now it had reverted me to the lite version, I was happy with the app its self but not with being treated like this, I have attempted making contact, no joy :(.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Fairly useless except as a toy.If you need or want to track or find a particular vessel this app is worthless..Version: 9.2.2
✓ SlambertI paid $8.00 to get rid of the adds ,and I still have adds. I want it fixed or my money back..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Just a place to hang childish advertisingRubbish. Don’t waste your time or money..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Simply dreadful - avoid!Installed for two minutes and immediately inundated with full screen ads which had to be watched for 5 seconds. Promptly deleted and will move my business elsewhere. Like others I used to have the full edition but can’t now access.Version: 9.2.2
✓ CrapJust plain doesn't work for the St. Lawrence Seaway..Version: 2.51
✓ Works great; invasive full screen adsIt works well but the free version has banner ads (that's OK) and invasive full screen ads (infuriating) that I couldn't close without force quitting the app..Version: 9.2.2
✓ AddsGet rid of the adds, very annoying the way they take over, otherwise good.Version: 9.2.0
✓ Do not useDo not use unless you want to be bombarded with adverts every two seconds. Find another app.Version: 9.2.2
✓ UselessUsed this today as a huge dredger type vessel past immediately in front of me and absolutely nothing indicating it on this App so as above, USELESS if it doesn’t show SHIPS!!!!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ No details unlike the other appsNo details shown unlike the other apps.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Poor app for Canada's east coastWon't track any ferrys in NL.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Why?You can be standing watching ships out at sea, yet the app says there isn't any! WHY? Plane finder also does this same anoying thing!.Version: 0
✓ Absolutely terrible.I downloaded to see cruise ships while I was near a harbour, and it is absolutely useless. I was standing in a location and navigated to it on the app, between ads, and boats it was showing to be there, just weren’t. The cruise ship didn’t show at all, and I couldn’t even use it to track pleasure craft and ferries as it was so out of date it was impossible. Oh, and the ads. Not only is there a banner ad, constantly, every time you click on a boat you get an ad. Absolutely useless. It’s honestly one of the worst apps I’ve ever used..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not what appeared to be advertisedThe images of the app in the App Store implied I would access details of the ships on the map. This is incorrect. That information is an in-app purchase. Also, I found this app while researching Maritime Traffic website and there were vessels listed on that map that are not shown on the free map of this app. Just simply not what was advertised (misleading images) and the data seems to be lacking..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Absolute RUBBISHOpened app & deleted it within 60secs. Every basic feature eg: search for a ship name is a PAY upgrade feature. Even within 60secs I was spammed hugely with ads. Worst app I have ever downloaded & I've tried hundreds..Version: 9.0.0
✓ SF LiteHere I sit on the ship canal to Corpus Christi and there are no ships on the map, just a glowing blue dot. Plenty of ships visible up in Houston and all over the world but nothing showing for here. Evidently you need to get the paid version to see ships in your location..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Pointless appTotally pointless app. As you cannot search for a vessel. Deleted..Version: 9.2.2
✓ TerribleDoesn’t show ships just tries to get you to upgrade and pay.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not going to buyI tried the lite version and not user friendly at all. Why buy the full version. Seems like every button you hit takes you to either an add or a request to buy. Let me try a usable app to see if I like it. I used findship before but apparently it is no longer available..Version: 9.2.2
✓ PoorInformation too limited.Version: 9.2.2
✓ SCAMRiddled with scam adds!! DOES NOT WORK !!!! WANTS MONEY ALL THE TIME FOR NO SERVICE! FOR SOME REASON ACCESSES ALL YOUR DATA AND THEN SELLS IT, GEE WONDER WHY..!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS .!!!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ No boatsThis app hasn’t been picking up any ship in the lower South Island for a while now, not sure it’s worth leaving on my phone ??.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Lite version is crippled with adds.I understand and expect add banners in a free lite version, but the constant interruptions of video adds makes this version unusable. I might consider a pay once and done version, but refuse to pay exorbitant subscription fees. Too bad they made this version unusable and offer no reasonably priced ad free version..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Seems pointlessDownloaded the free app just out of curiosity to see what the shipping was like around the Suez Canal as it's blocked and traffic is supposed to be backing up massively. The app shows not a single ship in the area..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Too many adsToo many pop-up ads, no search, vessels missing. Not recommended..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Was great, but not anymoreThis app used to be great. We live on the Ohio river and I could track the barges moving up and down the river. When the app was “updated” nearly a year ago all that was lost. I see no ships on the map even as they are passing my windows. It isn’t just River traffic, we were in the Caribbean this winter and many large ships in the port and only a couple showed on the map. My husband even paid for the upgrade and it didn’t change, no river traffic and limited ships showing elsewhere..Version: 9.2.2
✓ UselessDoesn't show any AIS ships and loaded with ads..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Too many adsUnusable as stupid things keep popping up on the screen shame really.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Absolutely worthless appThis is absolutely thee worst app I have ever experienced. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT! All it is is a advert to try to make you purchase something they claim works for free, and then on top of that, they want to collect your personal data. As soon as I’m done writing this review, this thing is going into the trash!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ BoatsWhy do no ships show up in New Plymouth New Zealand?.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Too many adsI realise this is free & there will be ads however every 10-15 seconds is far too many. Deleted app after using for about 5 minutes for this reason. I'd give it zero stars if I could.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Very disappointing appAll the vessels are not shown. For example, I saw at least 10 ships at sea while testing the app but only one of them was indicated on the map. There are also a lot of advertisements. Very disappointing....Version: 9.0.0
✓ This might as well be an app for ads.I have had the app for quite a while and now you offer it with ads or purchase to remove ads. Honestly there are so many ads popping up I thought the ship finder part was getting in the way of the pop up ads then I remembered that the ship finder part was the the app I used to have. I understand the ads is a way for you to make money but surely you could put them on as a banner either bottom or top. The user experience is getting to a point that I don’t want to use the app..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Ad infestedWas a good App, now it's seriously Ad infested..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Doesn’t workDropped this app a year ago because it stopped showing barge traffic on Mississippi River. Re down loaded app again last night. Had 3 barges come by my cabin this morning and not one of them were tracked. Don’t waste your time with this app. It’s worthless!!!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ TerribleCan’t even search, every second click pops up a full screen ad, horrible UI. Terrible app. If you’re going to release a freemium app, you need to make the free version at least semi usable..Version: 9.2.2
✓ GarbageGarbage unless you pay for it.Version: 9.0.2
✓ Doesn’t workLite version only sometimes finds ships I know are at sea. Paid for the full version and nothing happens when I put in their name. Useless..Version: 9.2.2
✓ CrashesIt crashes within 30 seconds of loading, every time. Plane finder free doesn’t have a problem, so it’s probably just a minor bug that needs fixing..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Not accurateDoes not show all ships e.g. Ferries in Auckland Harbour yet another app does show them..Version: 2.51
✓ BoatieDoesn't seem any good around Nelson.Version: 2.51
✓ Ship finderWe camp at algonac state park and we’re very disappointed that you have to pay to upgrade in order to see where the ships are.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not usefulNo search and way too many pop ups Rather useless..Version: 9.2.2
✓ No shipsWhy can’t l see any ships shouts coast nsw aus.Version: 9.2.2
✓ TrackingLove the app but I have to find the ship every time I can’t just click and track it.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Trial app is very restrictiveDownloaded the free version to get a feel for the app. However, the features I’m interested in are all only available in the $5 app. I’m unable to really do much of an evaluation. For example, it the app doesn’t seem to display ships that are moored. Since the settings feature is unavailable in the free version, I don’t know if this can be turned on or not..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Don't get!!Total garbage!!! The new updates has ads popping up every ten seconds or less. VERY frustrating and essentially unusable..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Used to be greatThe free version used to be great, but I guess once they updated it not so much anymore.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Way too many pop ups!Way too many pop ups!.Version: 9.0.2
✓ No east coast Canada info!Interesting app with lots of Canada west coast information, but none for Atlantic Canada except St. John’s, Newfoundland. No ship activity in Halifax or Saint John, New Brunswick....????.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Ruined by excessive adsAlmost every tap it throws up an advert - not only annoying but counterproductive. It won’t force me to upgrade which is also overpriced. Lots of other apps which do the same thing but don’t treat their users like idiots. Avoid until fixed.Version: 9.2.2
✓ No longer works.Loved this app. But it no longer works since I updated my phone to ISO8. Map is blank says 0 of 2200 shown..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Do NOT waste your moneyAs a bit of a ship enthusiast I purchased this app for $5.99 a total waste of money. It does not show correctly what ships are passing by and does not update. I would recommend spending another $2 and getting the MarineTraffic app instead.Version: 9.0.0
✓ UselessNo sign of Caledonian Sky when it sailed down east coast of Australia.Version: 9.2.2
✓ A total waste of spaceSome years ago it was usable but now there are only ads and no search feature. Do not bother to download this..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Best avoided - awful full page adsHow disappointing is this 4.5 rated app? 1 Star is probably too high a rating. Okay, it's in a truly off-putting place but 1 ad banner at the top of the screen is almost acceptable, it is a free ap. Then after you click on a couple of the tiny ship icons, bang, a full page pop-up obtrusive ad appears. You close it off, select another 2 boat icons and wham, another obtrusive, full page ad. You close it off, and repeat. Then you remember you can uninstall this money grabbing junk from your device. That's the best user experience moment this app has to offer..Version: 9.1.1
✓ DisappointedOn a recent trip from Holyhead to Dublin, I tried to use this app to see our vessel. For some reason it didn’t show it, or several other ships around us that I could see either. I know it’s a free app, but the information was very limited on what ships it did show. There are much better free apps out there..Version: 9.2.0
✓ Very inaccurate plotting. Frustrating.Very inaccurate plotting. Frustrating..Version: 2.51
✓ Bad APPNot impressed! I was able to follow my brothers for only a short distance before they disappeared. Even when they told were they were they still didn’t show up!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Ads GaloreThe app does what it says on the tin. But, there are way to many ads! I understand that the lite version needs ads to support it but full screen ads that some you can’t even close is over the top. Also, no functions work in lite such as vessel info or search. Many other lite apps out their that support these function and don’t overload the screen with ads.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Missing shipsI overlook a stretch of water and and can see ships including cruise liners that don’t appear on the package. So if you want to see the occasional bat and get its details fine but if you want a comprehensive view forget the free app there are others I believe much better.Version: 9.2.2
✓ WorthlessIt only shows ships in port. There is no capability to search for a specific ship. No tracking ability..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Get Ship tracking insteadRefused to pay £4.99 to unlock features that Ship Tracking does for free. Far too many ads..Version: 9.2.2
✓ BateauxSalut. Malheureusement je ne vois pas tous les bateaux. Principalement ceux qui passent en face de moi sur le St Laurent. Bye.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Free version does nothing!I understand that with a free version that you will either get some ads or have some features disabled, but with this version you get ads AND every thing is disabled! Why even bother?.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Avoid too many adsToo many adds and very limited functionality in the free version.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Waste of moneyWaste of money, doesn’t find anything local even when you can see it and AG is also useless..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Useless nowHad the paid for app several years ago, but now not able to access it because it’s no longer compatible with the iPhone X and it’s current operating system - and it’s reverted to the lite version which is quite frankly hopeless... you can’t search, there are huge ads, some of which you can’t close so you have to shut the app and reopen. The new paid version looks the same as the previous paid version- but I’m not prepared to fork out again for something I already paid for and now can’t use. Like others have said, what’s to stop them doing it again... not good enough..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Works but lacks detail in some areasToronto area is not showing up with any ships. It's showing only a few boats in all of Lake Ontario. There has got to be more boats out there than its showing..Version: 2.51
✓ Way too adsI understand this is a free version but there are way too many ads that pop-up, you can't even really use the app. Limit the amount of ads and you might get people excited enough about the app to pay for the upgrade..Version: 9.0.2
✓ UselessOnly picks up ships in a few select areas of the world. And even then many ships are missing. Wait until someone brings out a better one..Version: 2.51
✓ Not workingIt used to show ships now I can't see any. Maybe it's iOS 8s fault. Please update.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Useful app but way too many adsI know it’s a free app but there are so many adverts it’s basically unusable.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Not goodI would like to say that they should improve the app and remove the amount of ads you get. I got an add every 5 seconds nearly! Also it does not give enough information in the free version. In my opinion, this isn’t a good app.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Developers have given upI have had the full app for about 10 months or so. Started out ok. Not as detailed as some other apps but ok. I live on the river in Detroit so I see lots of shipping traffic coming through and at first the app worked well with identifying the basics. Then about 3-4 months ago the feed for the area just stopped. Nothing shows up at all. I have contacted support multiple times and they would respond with we are checking on it. Now they don’t even bother to respond. I lost $5 not the most horrible thing to happen to me ever, it’s just annoying that this app is still out there. Do not buy this. Go with any other app than this..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Good, but could be betterA great app, but as someone who really loves watching the ship schedules... I can't see much in nz. Where I'm living at the moment... Add some nz ports please? Like Dunedin..Version: 2.51
✓ Wheres all the ships?I don’t see anywhere near the targets I see in other apps. What about the paid version? I’m not going to buy this app if it’s the same severely lacking data minus the ads.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Malicious behaviorI happened to open this app after having updated my password for a different app in LastPass. Surprise! I got a notification that Shipfinder had pasted from LastPass - It stole what was on my clipboard, which in this case happened to be a password. I will be deleting this app and Apple should remove it from the store. Even if the item on my clipboard had not been a password, stealing pasted data when I never asked to paste anything is malware behavior..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Was good, now uselessThe search facility seems to have disappeared making somewhat pointless.Version: 9.2.2
✓ CrapCrap.......Version: 9.0.1
✓ Poor if you’re not prepared to payCould be a really nice app but as always you are very restricted in what you can do/see unless you pay! Fed up with ads all the time and very limited information. Only want to use when on holiday so not point in paying!.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Waste of moneyI downloaded and paid for the full version of the app whilst the Ever Given was stuck in the Suez Canal, the app didn’t pick up a single vessel in the area. Don’t waste your money..Version: 9.2.2
✓ What Does it find?Finds a lot of ships in some areas but none in others even when they are sitting in front of you. Maybe paid version is better..Version: 2.51
✓ Not VisableBought full version 4.99 but just not showing ferry’s that I know are there, sometimes they show and other times no where to be found , is it my phone is it the ferry’s or is it just a poor app , properly the latter , but as long as it has 4 stars people like me will purchase , until the star rating comes down , if the app producers can fix problems then I will upgrade review to show that problems have been fixed.Version: 9.2.2
✓ This app sucks!!Downloaded the free app, upgraded for $6.99, but my car was charged & $18.38, still can’t see any ships around me! Don’t get ripped off like I did!.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Expected to pay twice!I had the paid version of Ship Finder which no longer works on current iOS so was directed to get the new app from App Store. I’m unable to download what I had without paying £4.99 again for the same product - just updated to work on current iOS. The free version is full of ads and less functionality than what I had. Rubbish customer support from this developer not keeping free updates for paid products. I won’t be buying again..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Really annoying...The app works and shows ships in areas where there are receivers to pick up the ships location transmitters... And I understand the concept of ad supported apps... And I understand about the free version having reduced features... BUT Shipfinder Free goes well beyond any acceptable limits on the frequency and obtrusivness of ads. It is almost unusable - to the point that it really annoys me enough to delete it..Version: 9.0.0
✓ AdsSo many ads that it’s unusable. Get Marine Traffic instead..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Completely useless.The life version has absolutely no features whatsoever. Down MarineTraffic instead. It is also free but far superior..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Why should I pay twice?I bought the full version of this app a few years ago but the developers didn’t update it for newer IOS versions. As a result they have effectively forced everyone who bought the older version to buy the new version. Nothing stopping them doing it again so I won’t be parting with my money as the trust has gone!.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Bad, real bad.I have container ships all around me but not a one shows in this app. I also have a full blown AIS app and there they all are. What gives?.Version: 9.2.2
✓ Free just shows where you are and no shipsJust downloaded this free app to see if I would be interested in buying the full version as I can see ships from my house in Honolulu. The info gave me the impression I would be able to track some ships but all I see is a blue dot where I am. Not purchasing until I can see how it works. Update: twice the developer has email me a generic email saying I can check coverage for free at plane finder. I’m not interested in planes, I downloaded the ship lite app. Still not working.....Version: 9.1.1
✓ PurchasedPurchased the first version. No longer updating. Emailed them no response. Won’t spend the money again. Unreliable.Version: 9.0.2
