MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking for Positive User Reviews
✓ Marine TrafficI have used this app on a daily basis for years now, initially my fascination was to track the world wide travels of car carriers and now take a more general interest about the general freighter industry. What a fascinating industry, one thing I would like to better understand is the volumes of cargo that go round the world but doubt if a data base would exist for this..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Seaventure ship trackingIt was great to be able to see where my wife’s ship was at any time. Easy to use app with destination and current location identified. A wonderful service.Version: 4.0.35
✓ Salish SeaHelps me get through Active Pass without fear of four ferries converging..Version: 4.0.61
✓ Marine Traffic AppI would find it hard to live without this app !! As an islander totally dependent on the Calmac fleet Marine traffic information is so useful. I also really appreciate the detail of inland road maps, car parks, shops etc and use it to improve my world geography. The wonder of sea traffic never ceases to amaze me, and the tracking facility, the dispersion of vessels during storms, the sheer size of cruise ships etc etc are a constant source of interest. Thank you from a truly grateful Marine Traffic watcher..Version: 3.9.32
✓ GreatLove tracking ships on this ap. Most times it is up to date and being able to see the route taken over the last 24 hours adds interest..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Very useful AppI am a watch keeper for the National Coastwatch Institution. We have all-singing & dancing versions of A.I.S installed at the station, but I find this app a simpler system for introducing new trainees to finding information about shipping. Good back up as well in case our systems go down..Version: 4.0.55
✓ Opens a whole new worldI live on a sea coast. Now that’s I’ve found this app, Ican see where the ships I can see passing my windows are going, where they’re from, just everything. I’ve started keeping a log of them, and have even e-met the captain of one of them via Instagram. It really is a whole new world I would never have entered without MarineTraffic..Version: 3.9.32
✓ Where and whenI have mostly use this app for my line handlers job we get a basic tug time of arrival but it’s always nice to take a peek on the map and see where in the river the ship is . before this app, I spent many wasted hours sitting at the dock, waiting for a ship that was delayed or much further from the dock then it’s arrival time . No a little bit before I leave and take a peek at the map and adjust my schedule accordingly and use the yearly subscription really isn’t that much money.Version: 4.0.80
✓ Watching the boats go byI am lucky to have an amazing unobstructed view of the St-Lawrence river with Mount Saint-Bruno in the backdrop, from my 8th floor flat. I see boats daily, from small white sailboats, to large cargo ships. This app is great to see pictures and descriptions of the vessel passing by. The free version is enough for me for now, (with just 3 info unlocks per month) but maybe when retired I’ll get more curious an upgrade!.Version: 4.0.72
✓ YesYes.Version: 4.0.72
✓ GREAT APPCasual Great Lakes ship watcher. If you see a vessel approaching and can’t read the name or want to know where it is heading, this app will come in handy. Move the map with your finger to see all vessels broadcasting a tracking signal anywhere in the world..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Excellent coverage and detailI was trying to track my factory order car coming to the UK from Japan. My existing ship tracker app was having non of it but MarineTraffic on iOS has pretty much tracked the ship all the way bar a small section between Sri Lanka and the Gulf of Aden. The level of detail is excellent as well as the photos, port details, tracking info, etc. Definitely worth the small price for something that works so well..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Love this App!!!I have used this app on at least three phones now and I love it. The one feature I wish they would fix is the issue where the AIS feature works well on wifi, but seems to have issues on cellular. This could be the cellular network blocking something, but this didn't used to be a problem with earlier versions of the app..Version: 3.6.2
✓ First classA first class app which is full of information and supports the web site well..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Extremely useful app.Extremely useful app, easy to use and good information..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Cool appReally cool App, gives you a general idea of the Vessels around you. But not all vessels you can gather information on or give the exact location of them. Also even when you pay the $5 dollars some features like vessel tracking require you to pay an extra dollar to unlock. For $5 bucks you can’t go wrong for an App. I would rate this as more of a fun toy while on vacation or on the water rather than a hardcore navigator life or death tool to use on the water. None the less 5 stars for me..Version: 3.9.2
✓ BrilliantExcellent app helps us on many occasions. Recently when driving in Spain and the storms hit the Uk we could see where our return ferry was and plan accordingly way before the ferry company let us know. Now in Grenada and checking out when the Cruise ships are in and our little beach will be busy. Have also used it when sailing to identify vessels..Version: 4.0.80
✓ Bad map, great trackerThe app is amazing, however the map could be improved..Version: 4.0.80
✓ How great marine traffic isMarine traffic let’s you look at boats from a whole new perspective. Though there where a few glitches but l think l got through it.Version: 4.0.38
✓ Quite good, but vessel finder seems to have had better updatesI use Marine Traffic but I keep seeing more accurate later position updates on Vessel Finder .. :-(.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Very handyUse this weekly. Really hand to verify vessel information..Version: 3.5.7
✓ Love itLove it.Version: 4.0.61
✓ SO much information!Not only can I keep track of where WE are, in addition to our own GPS, I can keep track of vessels that will be entering our “space” to know if we should take evasive action or not. Or identify vessels that are too distant to identify visually. Or just be totally impressed by the sheer volume of marine traffic around the world. It’s amazing!.Version: 4.0.80
✓ App I can’t live with out.I have been using this app for the last five years it does have some sessions every now and then, I am in Australia and a member of the world shipping society in Melbourne very useful and handy when following ships around the world..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Great AppThis is a great app to follow marine traffic I use it all the time..Version: 4.0.80
✓ I love the marine traffic appMy man works on a ship. Through Marine I have a rough idea as to where he is. It also helps when he is out of phone range to know he's ok..Version: 3.3.2
✓ First Class AppTruly a sensational app and use it every single day I’m at work to find out where our crew change will be. Very handy tool. Well done to the developers..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Excellent app for casual user as well as Industry useI’ve been using the app as a casual user for years and find the info and tracking maps so interesting. I’ve never had any problems using it and think it’s great that you can visit any port in the world and see which ships are in, due in, what time they are leaving and their destinations Five stars from me..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Great app but…This is a great app for ship tracking and as I’m a member of the RNLI, I love the notifications you can set for your choice of Lifeboat at the Lifeboat Station you’re interested in. I only have one minor issue with this app and that’s, every time I open the app, I have to sign in, either on my iPhone or iPad. Could we not have a checkbox or an option to be kept signed in? Other than that. An amazing app..Version: 4.0.38
✓ Glad I took the leapAfter using the desk top version of this I decided to download the app. I almost didn’t after reading reviews stating you had to pay for info on each vessel. After downloading I ran into the same issue, HOWEVER there is a super simple fix to see the vessel names/basic stats. For some reason the app does not default to this; but if you go to settings-map options- you will see “vessel names”, you just have to toggle that on and you will be able to see them for free. A few took a few minutes to update but overall it is working just as the desktop version does..Version: 3.9.28
✓ Great app but sometimes updates are days apart unless you pay a little extra.Use this app all the time but lengthy updates are frustrating and have to pay extra to get a satellite position..Version: 3.9.54
✓ Great for CruisesLove using this app while on cruises. Fun to find out more about the ships around me, and there is a wealth of information on the ships. I just use the app for fun and feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface of the features, but it’s easy to use and the augmented reality interface is pretty cool even if it doesn’t always seem to get the location right (very difficult given that these ships are moving). Have really had a good time with this app. If you’re going on a cruise, this is worth every penny, as is the AR upgrade..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Tracking my familyMy son is a seafarer and it’s nice to know what part of the world he is in at anytime..Version: 4.0.35
✓ The go to Marine Tracking AppWhether you are a Shipping Professional or just interested in seeing what ships are and where they are going - or better still - to find out when that Greek Island Ferry has got to in order to decide whether you have time to order some more Calamaraki and Ouzo, Marine Traffic has it all. Accurate information, regularly updated positions and an easy format..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Professional appVery good information it provides, would be better if the icons are friendlier looking..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Tugboat Deckhand/Moran TowingThis is a very useful app at work and for my off time hobby of Ship watching. I can keep up with my favorite ships and when at work aboard our Tug at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia I can see all of the Inbound traffic before it gets here. Thanks for all you do and please continue this app! I love the little updates you get too with the Horn! It's awesome! Take care have a safe day. Smooth sailing..Version: 4.0.20
✓ Shipping to FijiWow! I’ve always wondered what happened to my packages that get shipped to Fiji. This time I had a whole container with a tractor in it. So I followed it through the shipyards and then the ship it was put on. VERY educational. Now I know why it takes anywhere from 2 months to 6 months to get my packages! This was all new to me; like watching the draught of the ship change between ports. And the info you can get on any port in the world at the tap of your finger…amazing. I only needed this for a month but I will use it again for my next shipping project..Version: 4.0.20
✓ Awesome appThis app has given us the opportunity to interact with our marine environment - it allows us to identify and research the marine vessels in our locality & elsewhere.Version: 3.6.8
✓ IPadThe Marine traffic app will not switch off on my iPad when swiping the screen..Version: 4.0.35
✓ Find my boatTechnology at its most useful. I can track my vessel and identify passing ships in the night. I only have the free version so miss out on any advanced features the paid version may offer.... perhaps soon..Version: 4.0.16
✓ ReviewExcellent web site…..easy to interpret…accurate ..a credit to the designers…..well done!!.Version: 4.0.38
✓ A great educational tool.Marine Traffic is a great way to track your favourite cruise ships and learn about the global travels of bulk carriers, fishing vessels and commercial shipping. Worldwide our stores and markets would be largely empty without them..Version: 4.0.55
✓ Could be improved but still okI use this app to track the boats my partner is on when he delivers them around australia. It would be great to nominate 1 boat which, when you open the app, it tells you instantly where that boat is..At the moment I open the app, locate the boat from the fleet, click and wait to see. When I choose to track just one boat all I need is to see the last position and info for that boat only... If I want to see all boats in the area or a fleet then I would click on buttons to open those screens..Version: 3.9.9
✓ Great App but I could not add vessels in to my FleetGreat App for tracking vessels..Version: 3.9.28
✓ Excellent resourceGives great ancillary background & information when encountering other vessels on the water..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Lake ErieLiving on the south shore of Lake Erie, I appreciate b being able to find the name of a ship I see..Version: 4.0.61
✓ Fun, educational. Track your ships!I love cruising and traveling but I also live near a busy port and I love knowing what’s coming in and out and where in the world are my favorite ships located. I’d wish they would feature the complete scheduled and travelled route before and after of, let’s say, a cruise. It seems it only tells you the last port and next future port. Also it tells you the name and flag of the ship, tonnage, dead weight but it will not tell you the company the ship belongs to or how many passengers it can hold so I took off one star for that. Otherwise, I love it!.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Great appThis is a very useful app for checking marine traffic. I often use it to just see what type of traffic is on the ocean in my area..Version: 4.0.61
✓ Excellent app.Easy to use, plenty of information. Random thought...would it be possible to calculate and display a line showing an estimate of the apparent horizon to show if a vessel should be visible..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Great appUse it daily as I am following a ship from uk to nz..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Interesting and helpfulI enjoy tracking ships and other registered vessels in ports when I visit their cities. Difficult to reset the location..Version: 3.9.9
✓ The app worksHowever, I don’t think the user interface is simple enough..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Amazing appAs I work on a ship, this app is helpful for me to determine the location of the ship. I get the majority of the crew to use this app to ensure that we know when the ship is due into port. Very helpful..Version: 3.3.2
✓ MarineTraffic ReviewI am overall happy with this App and the information provided. AIS coverage seems to be good for our Port (Fremantle WA), but it would be nice to have full time access for satellite positioned shipping (information/telemetry) at no extra cost; or at a reasonable once-off fee (not subscriptions). Access Plus 24 at $1.49 per day for 1 vessel - laughable. Apart from the App sometimes freezing in the photo gallery section (iPhone/iPad), it seems reliable. Also positioning can sometimes appear many hours old, but still remains displayed. Throw in all satellite positioned shipping and I would rate it more than 4 stars. As is, a good product that I use frequently..Version: 3.9.19
✓ Great Tracking appI use it this while cruising. Simple and easy. Worth it if you spend a lot of time cruising. Makes you comfortable that loved ones can track your progress and a good addition for safe sailing. John.Version: 4.0.24
✓ Fascinating!Stumbled upon this app by chance after seeing RMS Veritas on the Manchester Ship Canal and wondering what that ship was etc. Now completely hooked! As a scale railway modeller interested in dockside transfers, has opened a whole new world of reference photos! Wondering about why so many ships in the Southern Hemisphere are located by satellite only - surely the Flat Earthers can’t be right?! 🤣 Would be great if I could figure out how to save/download photos from the ship galleries for future easy reference on my home computer. 🤔.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Some ads are really badSome full screen ads can’t be closed. You have to exit the app and restart..Version: 4.0.58
✓ Wonderful AppWe lie in bed watching the ships come in to Auckland and can look up which one it is and all it's details!.Version: 3.3.6
✓ A total disappointmentI purchased Marine Traffic for the explicit and sole reason to track my family on their Pacific Aria cruise from Brisbane to Vanuatu. So far the app shows the ship having been stationary for 17 hrs, 20 nm off the coast, after leaving port 4 hrs earlier. This is despite the app saying that the vessel is doing 17 knots! A disappointing waste of money..Version: 3.6.2
✓ TomdhuThis works very well except that for the past month I have not been able to spot any ships around my home port of Nelson, New Zealand. Previous to that it has been excellent..Version: 2.1.1
✓ It’s now a pay to follow AppThe only way to follow a particular craft is to pay for 24 hours of satellite, if you don’t know exactly which craft it is it’s a guessing game that cost $1.25 for every guess. Stupid changes that have made this app useless to me.Version: 3.9.32
✓ Great app with more potentialUpdated Quick suggestions to improve app for this user: Make the ship icons on the map more easy to understand (rather than just color and size, change the shape like Plane Finder does - where the shape of the icon shows what type of ship it is). When I tap a ship on the map, show a little pic of it right away rather than just the name. Show a link to web search results for the name so I can easily get more info. Or just allow people to annotate the info like “this is Jerry Jones’ yacht.” Make following and alerts much more easy to use. Fix the bottom bar to work better with the latest iPhones so there’s room for the swipe up bar. Let me set alerts somehow for “interesting ships headed my way.” Thanks!.Version: 3.9.38
✓ Great way to track my importsFascinating to learn about shipping movements and routes around the globe, for example, although I know about the Suez and Panama canals, I wasn't aware of the Kiev canal which enables ships to travel from the English Channel into the Baltic Sea without having to travel around Jutland. In addition this app lets us track the progress of shipments of goods we are importing from Europe to New Zealand. Lots of fun and informative!.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Really usefullI can’t understand why anyone would give this only 1 star. I can see when our ferry is coming 2 hours before it arrives. And when you look out and see a ship going past the question of who is it is solved. I use this app on ipad and PC and both are great..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Keeping TrackLove it. Helps me see where friends and family are. Also let’s them know where we are Well done.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Was fantasticWas a fantastic App. Now that you have to pay $1.50 everytime you want an up to date position fix it is no longer cost effective. Shame. Trying to track friends sailing in reefing area..Version: 3.9.20
✓ Boats boats boatsGreat app for boats. Info is the best. Love the weather report on lot of the ships..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Useful for islander!This is very useful when we are waiting for visitors coming in to Guernsey, or for times when we are waiting to go off island ourselves. Much more helpful to be able to see where the ferry is rather than check timetables etc which are often behind the times anyway..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Pricing to correct.The app is really great I was using find my ship. With subscription on yearly basis. I bought this one at $4.99 as one time payment and there was a pop up for Access plus 24 for $0.99 bought them as it doesn’t show any further detail like it is valid only for 24 hours after purchase only came to know it is valid only for 24 hours. I like that to be refunded and please correct that. It is like a insurance catch. Make it transparent and it makes the buyer to buy without any hassle..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Three month free trial of the new Silver version: RubbishTried the Silver three month free trial for one day only: that was enough. The app couldn't find the P&O cruise liner Ventura (surely it's BIG enough); neither could it respond to the menu request "Return to all Ships". I have cancelled the trial and gone back to the earlier free version - which I have always found to be bug free. I use an Apple iPad Mini with iOS 9.5..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Simply perfect, so interestingI live overlooking the English Channel and volunteer with the National Trust at the White Cliffs. I can tell visitors just which ships are passing, where the ferries are going and which cruise liners are in port. It’s easy to use with clear navigation (the app, not just the ships), great photos and information. Thank for a great app..Version: 3.9.38
✓ AwesomeA great app that's full of information and a highly polished version with the new update now..Version: 3.3.2
✓ We find it OkWe are not experts in this area but we have used it quite a lot and we find it very easy to use and would recommend it. It tells us all we want to know..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Does everything I need….Brilliant app and free to use at the level I need. I live in a house overlooking the River Mersey (Liverpool, UK) and the Irish Sea. I can see a ship sailing in or out of the port, day or night, and instantly find its name, specification, where it’s been, where it’s going and view a host of images - brilliant, it’s real time, never seems to not work, and so easy to use. I never grow tired of this app..Version: 4.0.72
✓ WorksGrate app!! I recommend 👍🏻.Version: 4.0.61
✓ Ship appGreat to view the incoming cruise ships and other marine traffic coming into Charlottetown PEI and around the Island..Version: 4.0.61
✓ Great AppOne of my favourite apps , one suggestion would be to make Access Plus 24 also available in 48hrs ( appropriately priced of course) thanks for an app that makes the most of the technology that is available to us all today..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Not workingMy app suddenly doesn’t work. When I tap it it just flicks back to my Home Screen. I’ve tried to reinstall but lost all my settings. Useless..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Worth every cent!My parents have a cottage on Lake Huron in Michigan. We can see freighters and other boats out in the distance but not close enough to see their names and other details. Just open the app and you can find out what freighter or boat it is, see pictures, see where they are coming from and going and much more. It's great for anyone that likes boat and freighter watching especially if you live on the water..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Les bateauxJ’ai une vue sur le St-Laurent près de Québec et cette application me permet d’identifier tous les bateaux qui passe devant moi avec beaucoup d’informations sur le bateau. Et ce n’est pas seulement local mais mondial, je peux suivre un bateau de Montréal jusqu’en Chine. Un must pour ceux qui aiment les bateaux..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Awesome….Great app use it all the time for work, easy to use, very accurate….Rick.Version: 4.0.20
✓ Paid $.99/day for better tracking and no goodMy son is on a ship sailing around the world and when the ship is out of range, it isn’t traceable. Ok, fine. But then they started offering $.99/ day for out of range tracking and it does not update. I’ve paid for 4 days of tracking and it hasn’t updated distance traveled at all. It shows the location of ship when you pay the $.99 but never again. Very frustrating. While it’s only $.99 it’s not giving us what was promised. I’d like my money back..Version: 3.9.2
✓ OK. Limited by circumstances beyond its controlThe interface would benefit by a bit of smarts. If the vessel is underway and the location doesn’t change for some time then either the vessel has sunk! Call the coastguard! Or you haven’t picked up a recent signal. Note that vessel as position uncertain. That’d be smart!.Version: 3.6.8
✓ ExcellentI’m very impressed with this app. Have tried others but this one rates above. Highly recommended.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Proper lookoutThe colregs say, "by all available means appropriate" and now we have a real enhancement to sight and hearing! We keep our boat in the Marlborough Sounds New Zealand. This app lets us see where the ferries are, so that we don't meet them in the narrow entrance to Tory Channel. A real aid to safe navigation..Version: 3.3.6
✓ JcAwesome app.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Great for Moms of Seafarers!It’s a great tool for moms and families to keep up with their loved ones. Our youngest son started working on ships recently for the first time. He laughed when I mentioned I needed him on my phone tracker list so I could see where he was while he was working! Lol! But, then I found MarineTraffic! I didn’t tell him for weeks I had it. One day I sent him a text and asked if he knew where they were. He responded that he had no idea. I sent him a screenshot of his ships location! Since then he downloaded the app himself. Now I even use MarineTraffic as my prayer list. When I hear about bad storms in the ocean I’ll look to see what vessels are in the path and pray for their safety..Version: 4.0.32
✓ Love this appThis is a great tracking tool for just keeping an eye on friends vessels and as part of VMR looking for vessels that are on our log in conjunction with other apps for an accurate vessel positioning I also have several vessels on alert if they move,.Version: 4.0.72
✓ RubbishDon't buy this app. It's really slow and some of the vessels don't update position despite being shown on other apps and web sites. You can get the same info for free from the web. I would ask for a refund if the pain of getting one was worth the £4.99. I'm running IOS over 4g so it's not my phone that's the issue..Version: 3.6.8
✓ No surprise - Ship Tracking is a joyOK - I downloaded the app to track a specific container ship coming into London Gateway. I may never use the app again. That said, loved it ! Tracked all the way from Brazil and save time when the ship goes into deep water (mid Atlantic), I’ve been able to track it all the way - brilliant !! Yes, there are lots of in app purchases to make the experience better but this is probably for the pros. Amateurs, like me, with an interest in ships, and like to know a wee bit more this is ace! FlightRadar24 for vessels! Love it!!.Version: 3.9.32
✓ Great for Cruise Ship trackingWe use this app to track which Alaskan cruises are coming by our house in the summer. Works great and ETA to your location is within 5 mins of being accurate!.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Marine trafficEntertaining.Version: 4.0.38
✓ Love itThis app is my no. 1 go to ship tracking app. It is very easy to navigate and very informative 10/10.Version: 4.0.58
✓ Awesome appI love following my boating friends on here!.Version: 4.0.72
✓ FantasticIf you live near the coast or port this is a must have try it.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great AppGreat App for tracking vessel and what dock they are at. I use it to see where vessels location are the one that I have to get on..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Track Vessels In Water Near You!This app enables you to track vessels anywhere in the world but especially in waters where you’re familiar or active. It’s up there with flight aware in aircraft tracking tail numbers. Way too much public information out there but you might as will take advantage of it -this is really cool. Suggestion- get a VHF radio and use in conjunction with this app. You’ll learn tons and can use to teach your children or grandchildren or simply to navigate and stay out of the way!.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Paid for app, now wants more $$Paid for the app, but now asking for more money to track yachts which feels feels like a rip off. Thanks but no thanks. Steer clear..Version: 3.9.9
✓ AmazingThis app is wonderful. My son is on a 10 day youth training voyage. I am able to follow the route and know the islands and bays his ship is visiting.Version: 3.3.2
✓ A “must have” accessoryIf you like ships this is a must have. We live by a river with commercial shipping and this gives us the voyage details, extensive photographs (usually) and weather. What more can you ask. It has far more functionality and information than the nearest rival.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Huge fan of the app!This app has been my companion all over the world, tracking boats and figuring out “what I can see” from various places from the US to Germany to Sydney. I absolutely love it and would pay a lot more for a truly premium version, if one is ever released. That said, I’m having crash issues lately - iOS 14.4.2 and version 4.0.8 of the app. Usually happens upon opening the app. Thanks for the many many many happy hours of nerding out over boats 💛.Version: 4.0.8
✓ Marine trafficSuper app.Version: 4.0.72
✓ I’m a tug crew family memberI really like being able to see where my guy is those weeks he’s at sea. I don’t have another app to compare this one with but I like it a lot. Maybe it deserves all 5 stars! I seldom give 5, only if I know the competition. Anyway, I value it, esp since I only need the free version. I occasionally get a free period of upgrade but I’m mostly interested in location of a single tug boat..Version: 4.0.80
✓ MarNav App, My Personal VTSThe ability to track vessels during transit increases the efficiency of planning dockage and wharfage labor distribution While shifts may not change significantly, where labor is deployed during the shift shaves cost of under utilization. Also, planning critical operations sensitive to vessel wake, effect of bank cushion, or bank suction in a confined waterway so much more helpful….being able to see work windows and calculating real time interactions make Marine Navigation an important tool for Stevedoring.Version: 4.0.38
✓ Inane app!!!!I like this app because it’s good when I’m up at the beach and looking for boats and this can tell if their coming or not and what type of ship it is and this app is really good and helpful..Version: 4.0.80
✓ Good app - extra features don’t work between devices, thoughWorks pretty well, aside from slow vessel updates at times. . . Also, big peeve is failure of feature upgrades to work between devices. For example, I upgraded to nautical chart option on my iPad, expecting to see it in effect on my other devices - phone, laptop, office machine, and so on - as well. But it only works on the one device. That stopped me upgrading anything else. If I pay for an account and purchase an upgrade it should work on all my devices!.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Easy to useI use this app to check when my commuter ferry is arriving. (It is usually late). But lots of fun to explore ships in the area..Version: 4.0.80
✓ UpdatesDoesn’t always seem to update a particular boat and I am not sure if that is because the boat isn’t up to date or if the app isn’t..Version: 4.0.58
✓ Nice appIt’s accurate and love seeing the ships go by.Version: 4.0.61
✓ Marine trafficGood app, I have used it internationally also. It does fail dismally when trying to follow yacht races, they all have their radio turned on, but only about half of the fleet are on screen. 7 August 2019 Racing yacht Black Jack 100 is still being shown as moored in Sydney NSW Australia. Your information is more than 2 months out of date. She has currently raced from Brisbane to Airlie and was second in line honours. She would certainly have been in radio contact. She is possibly on her way back to her Brisbane base. What went wrong, can you please update?.Version: 3.9.20
✓ Depth contours????What happened to the depth contours ??only got depth need to see contours also the new chart is rubbish get something with a proper chart like you used to have very disappointed.Version: 4.0.20

✓ COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER APPThis is a very informative app that gives you information on maritime movements anywhere in the world. It works every time, I could not ask for a better app..Version: 3.6.2
✓ HiI can view the vessel’s names on the East coast of NZ but not off the West Coast!!.Version: 4.0.24
✓ What a new car can do!Having purchased a new car which was built in Japan and delivered via Portbury, the program was first used to track the carrier. This raised an interest in vehicle carriers. I have had many happy hours following the various fleets. The quantity of vehicle carriers is astonishing, researching their history adds to the fun. Each day an essential activity is to check the shipping at Portbury. It may seem an odd hobby, but at 83 years it provides me with a great deal of pleasure. Thank you..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Great App.It is with great interest to view this site, while visiting Manzanillo Mexico. Manzanillo is a main shipping harbour, many ships from all over the world pass through through this port. To identify the ship, where it’s travelled and it’s destination after leaving, is interesting and knowledgeable. Whenever I see a ship coming or going, I use this site ..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Suddenly a new charge for basic data?Having used the App for years and been very happy with the info and coverage it gives, I see this morning that, you suddenly have to pay to get anything more than very basic data. No past track etc. Bit of a disappointing start to 2022. The basic package you paid for in the App were fantastic, the additional packages you could buy were far too expensive for a casual user and really were more for corporate usage. The new “starter” patch for £10 a year seems a bit steep to me. Update…..I think there must have been a software glitch on the iPad app and all functionality previously enjoyed suddenly came back after 24 hours. Track history and basic vessel detail etc were available, and my enthusiasm for the App has returned..Version: 4.0.20
✓ Lake Huron view of shipsWe live on Lake Huron and love to watch for ships or identify ones we see off shore..Version: 4.0.80
✓ Fantastic Marine Traffic WebsiteGreat fun to use this site to look up the marine traffic here on Narragansett Bay, in Jamestown, RI. I can identify, through your website and Google most of the sailboats, yachts, commercial ships, and gigantic RoRos, heading to Providence and Davisville. It’s become my hobby view all of this from my front porch, since I’m fortunate in that my front yard goes right down to the water’s edge. Newport, RI, home to many yachts, is only 2m across the water..Version: 4.0.16
✓ Good appI use the app to find out where my tug is days in advance so I know where i will be joining it. I use marine traffic on my Mac but I think the app for the phone is way better. I won't whine about little issues it has- every app has issues- this one has the least. So stop whining you lot. You must all work ashore in hairdressing salons and perfume factories..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Marine trafficGood app would recommend to all.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Developing well......Is a great app now and gets better all the time. No complaint..Version: 3.9.54
✓ MarineTrafficMerci , je peux localiser mon fils sur le fleuve. Ex-Pilote.Version: 4.0.72
✓ Son trackingMy son works on a private motor yacht which does the seasons in med, USA and Caribbean.. It’s great from an interest point of view to see which part of the world he is travelling. Obviously with the basic set up he has to be within a certain distance of land but this still gives me enough information.. Also I highly rate the new weather part of the app...Version: 3.6.8
✓ Excellent appI use this for everything! We go to all the rocket launches from Kennedy and I like to see who violates the down range zone. Also track the SpaceX drone barges to see when they’re coming back to port. Fun to know what islands we’re passing on a cruise too. What ships are at anchor off shore when we’re sitting on the beach and the names of the impressive yachts are docked. Where Doug and Bob are..Version: 4.0.38
✓ Camelford Tim. An Astonishing and amazing App!A good friend sailed around the whole UK, now sailing in the Bay of Biscay put me onto this App so I could track him. App is fantastic! Worldwide, yet zooms to fine detail. One-click gives details and photos of Ships. Great entertainment & educational value. Found where my local fish&chip shop catches its Fish! Moving on, I am now a volunteer watchkeeper for the National Coastwatch Institution. From a cliff top observation point, I log ships and people that may get into danger, and advise Search & Rescue services if a rescue is needed. This is a superb app that can confirm identification by eye, telescope, and Radar. I refer to it at home as a "geeky" pastime!.Version: 3.6.2
✓ A must if you live near the seaThis app gives real time updates for ships and watercraft worldwide. I live within a mile of a shipping lane, there are large vessels sailing past my home day and night. It helps to know which ones might delay land traffic over drawbridges. If you’re catching a ferry it shows if it’s on time or late. (Provided you know the ferry schedule.) it is an absolute must if you live near the sea..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Very good, again.In the past couple of weeks this app just stopped working. I get a message that it can’t connect with server and there is just a blank screen with no functionality at all. I deleted it then reinstalled it and it made no difference. Also, maybe related, the Marine Tracker website seems to be off line, too, so no support available. Update> I was contacted by the developer and the problem has been fixed and it’s good as new..Version: 3.9.38
✓ One of the bestI’ve tried a few, this one seems to be almost real-time and has the best library of pictures of the boats. Pity that nautical charts is a paid for option whereas some others will use Open sea maps for free..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Free unlocks expire when app closedI was looking for an app to track my vehicle shipment. This app does a great job of that and more. There’s a catch for free accounts, however. You get three “past route” and three “vessel info” unlocks before having to register and pay. No problem, I thought. Just want to track one ship over a period of 3-5 days. So day one I unlock the past route and vessel info for my ship. Very cool info! Day two I go to check on the vessel and… I have to use another unlock for both the past route and vessel info. Now day two again, but I closed the app and it wants to use my final unlock for both the route and vessel info. It’s the same ship on the same route. If you’re going to subscribe, this won’t matter to you. If you’re like me and only have a single, one-off use of the app, go for it but don’t close the app! You’ll have to use your limited unlocks again and quickly run out. I hope the app dev will consider allowing each unlock to last for the current sailing of the selected ship instead of what seems to expire as soon as I close the app..Version: 4.0.24
✓ Excellent service.I reported My vessel was showing a wrong position, possibly because I hadn’t taken her out for a while. There response was immediate, asked me to activate the AIS so they could fix the position. Problem solved. Great follow up with emails to make sure I was happy. As a family We also use the mobile app. Which gives great comfort to family and friends on the dry, as we are planning a circumnavigation later this year. Bill onboard.Version: 4.0.24
✓ I must go down to the sea againActing on the reviews I read before downloading this app., I have not bothered to try others because this one does it all for me. Many a time on the coast or on rivers I have located vessels and information about them which completely satisfies my nosiness. The only thing lacking are the names of the ships crew!!! I tracked my brother-in-law's cruise around the north of Norway and have viewed ships at my local port. I can see what is in the mid-Pacific in real time or in port anywhere in the world. For good measure, I have downloaded the computer version as well. This is a great app with lots of information which I highly recommend to all shipping buffs..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Spy in the skyWe have been sailing for longer than I care to remember but when a friend told me about this app and how you can keep in touch with friends at sea I had to have it. Now I wonder how I manage to keep in touch with friends before. My son lives in the USA and worries when we take off for months on end and now he simply logs in and checks that we are still floating! Great app thanks.Version: 3.6.2
✓ VacationIt’s really nice to watch very close to real time, my friends along their journey across the ocean in the world..Version: 4.0.58
✓ You’ve ruined my favorite appAs a frequent cruise who lives by the sea, Marine Traffic was my favorite go-to app to see where I was on the open sea, or find out what ships were nearby. I don’t want to follow 1 ship for 24 hours, that’s not how I use the app. I know there are other cruisers out there who are in a similar position. Please let us go back to our casual use of the app, seeing the ships that are in the area. I’m sorry I updated the app to this version and in its current version it is of no use to me..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Works wellGot this to spot traffic out on the Mississippi for fun. But it came in real handy when my Mom went on a cruise and we could track her progress as tropical storms changed their schedule down in the Caribbean. The quality of the app is good. I mean it does what you want it to do. If we lived somewhere with major shipping traffic I would seriously consider getting the overlays..Version: 3.9.28
✓ Marine trafficThis is a very good app for studying ship and yacht movements.Version: 4.0.38
✓ Great AppExcellent and very useful for reference work and research on current shipping. Would not be without it.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Brilliant appIf you have an interest in the sea, or are lucky enough to live by the sea, this app is invaluable. I use it to track friends at sea and interesting vessels I have spotted. Its a real shame that NPO’s, study groups and interested amateurs are bring priced out of using it. There was a time when it was predominantly amateurs, but I guess they are making too much money out of it now to worry about them. Still a brilliant app though..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Opens a whole new world of understanding of what is happening out thereI live on the coast, and with this app not only now know when ships are coming, but also what kind of ship they are and where they have come from and are going to. The app enabled me to pinpoint a moment when there were three cruise ships together on the horizon, lighting up the ocean like a city. Amazing stuff. And really interesting..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Your recent update seems to have turned off the ability to filter vessels...Right now I am using this app to track a single vessel on which I will soon be taking a cruise. I used to be able to filter out all other vessels as a default. Now with your recent update, while I can still do this, it doesn’t stay that way and all vessels keep on coming back. This clutters up the map a bit, and it is annoying to constantly have to go back and reset this filter. Other than that this is a great app and I enjoy it very much. Thank you..Version: 3.9.9
✓ CrashingCould possibly be useful if the application would stay open for more than 20 seconds without crashing. In fact the more I try to use t the more disappointed I get.....don't waste your money.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Excellent AppI've found this to be a very useful app. Have used it in both hemispheres and it's always informative. Updates of positions can be a bit slow..Version: 3.6.2
✓ Feedback on Marine Traffic appI live in Darwin and rely on Marine Traffic to identify the many types of vessels that frequent our harbour. It provides the information I need for the many photographs I take and is very important to me for that..Version: 4.0.32
✓ Ever wonder what that ship is?Ever see a ship in the harbor and wonder where it came form? Or where it’s going? Or what its name is and what country it’s from? All your questions and more are answered with this app. Including questions like “I wonder what other ships are going to be passing by.” And “Uncle Mike and Aunt Sandy are on that cruse. I wonder what port they’re at right now?” Or you can just geek out on how many fishing vessels are off the cost of Alaska..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Satisfy your curiositySure, it does have a few bugs but mostly it tells me what I want to know - which big ships are steaming around Wellington Harbour..Version: 2.3.3
✓ On iPhone feature now chargeableUsed the app on iPhone now & again - useful to track cruise ships. Now I can only see things like wind speed up to 3 times a month when it was previously free. Whereas on iPad I can see the wind speed without having to sign up. Confused..Version: 4.0.24
✓ Useful app for identifying ships seen in real lifeI came across Marine Traffic when looking for a resource to enable me to identify the many ships that anchor off the coast where I live. The app allows me to do just that. Just 'click' on the ship and up comes info on vessel name, type etc - and even some journey details. It's turned into a bit of a hobby for me now! Until I had this app I hadn't appreciated just how much shipping traffic was moving about round the UK's coasts (and beyond/globally). Occasionally it won't load photos and is a bit sluggish but in the main it's a reliable and rather fun app that's well worth £4.99..Version: 3.6.2
✓ App is brilliant but ads are notAbsolutely love the app. But since upgrading my phone I now seem to get ads all the time and some of the info is blocked out. I paid for the app a few years ago I’ve seen another review saying you can get the starter plan if you’ve brought the app previously. how do I claim the starter plan?.Version: 4.0.35
✓ Marine Traffic app review.Spent the last 31/2 days in A Bay closing a friend’s cottage, been doing this for approximately 15 years. Only thing different this time was the Marine Traffic app. OMG !! It was like Christmas when you’re 10! We can look right out the shore of cottage and see the river. At night you can feel and hear the thrum of ships engines, just don’t know which way they’re going. NOW , we know everything and when they will go by us. We are all dads in our 70’s with kids and friends. Guess which group was the biggest hit this year, yup, all of us old guys!! Best app. I have. Thank you..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Marine Traffic Period.Our vantage point elevation is at 750 ft. overlooking 20 miles of the Columbia River. Curious to learn where the vessels come from, and which port they will land at, gives us a window into the supply chain conversation. Most of the ships travel thousands of NM, over the course of weeks to deliver petroleum and automobiles, or retrieve grains, corn, chemical, steel, and forest products. Fascinating for local viewing, but awe inspiring when dialed into the world shipping lanes and ports. Recommended to many..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Great Ap for TrackingI got this ap on a whim because there was a ship parked off the coast and I was curious what it was and what it was doing. This ap is amazing. You can see, worldwide, what boat traffic is at sea or in port. Look at Monaco and see the super yachts, Or look in your local port and find out what Ships are dropping off goods. Always fun to see and use. The $.99 tracking is an option as are some other adons but this is a great ap and a must have for any maritime enthusiast..Version: 3.9.9
✓ Pay for Past Track now after 3 goes?Seems I now have to pay for “Past Track” if I want a fourth (or more) look within a month? So you’ve asked me to explain why only four stars? It’s because I have been able to use Past Track as frequently as I’ve wanted in the past. I have had this app a very long time and have recommended it to many people over the years. Now I find I need to pay for something that came free with the app all those years before, and was very handy to me at times. But that’s the world we live in today - it’s all about money. So, anyway, that disappointment has dropped my liking of the app to 4 stars..Version: 4.0.24
✓ WORTH EVERY PENNY!I cannot understand the negative reviews? I have been using this superb app for years and it just gets better and better. I can look at traffic from home to wherever I have been on my travels, mostly Netherlands, Menorca and the Mediterranean and sometimes beyond. If the vessel has its transponder on, you can track anything and anyone who can’t would need to look at and update their device....Version: 3.9.54
✓ Amazing.This App is AMAZING just love it I live on the coast and see ships going past. Now I know so much more. Wish I could up load photos of what I see. I have told many that they should get it they have. CONGRATULATIONS.Version: 4.0.38
✓ Super!Agrémente efficacement mes promenades sur le bord du fleuve..Version: 4.0.72
✓ Tracking Made Easy!I’m an old Navy Radarman from before everything was computerized. This software has revolutionized the ocean shipping industry as far as being able to keep track of vessels of concern. I know we could have used this as an additional tool that would have proven itself in short order. I live in Belize and like to track the vessels coming down here from Florida so I can keep track of where items might be at that I’ve purchased and shipped down. It makes for a fun hobby too - kinda like train spotting used to be..Version: 3.6.2
✓ RecommendedHave found this app very reliable and a great way to track shipping in our area..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Marine TrafficI find the Marine Traffic App really interesting and useful. Great for watching port operations and identifying ships. The update has made a great App even greater!.Version: 3.3.2
