Visibility of vessels in the App depends on AIS signal availability. If a particular vessel is out of our AIS coverage zone, VesselFinder displays her last reported position and updates it as soon as the vessel comes into range. Completeness and accuracy of the information provided cannot be guaranteed.

Pros and cons of VesselFinder Pro app for iPhone and iPad

VesselFinder Pro app good for

This app shows all the boats I want to see. It does what its suppose to do.
Latest release works better than previous versions. This is the only app I found of this type that show all the AIS ships in my area. But please ca the next release use location services to easily find the area Im in?

Some bad moments

Maps load slow if at all. You must also pay more for a "fleet account" to enable half the features in this "Pro App". Save your money and google your vessel. Capital T total rip off waste of money. Wish I could request a refund.
This app is awful. It doesnt work, AT ALL, and is a total waste of money. It gives you data that is 3 or 4 weeks old. Nothing in real time which is available easily on some other free websites.
Worked perfectly till the last update. Now it wont even load on my device :(
Just downloaded this pro version thinking it would be better then Marine Traffic, but its not. In fact it is not even close. Fails to update a fleet vessel when other AIS apps are tracking it just fine. I do not recommend until it is fixed.
Would be good only if ship reports AIS data. This pushes you into a position wether or not if you want to pay a monthly fee to get satellite positioning, which would be real time. Paid the $10 but it only showed boats in port. Cargo ship I was tracking left port and still in same position off coast of Australia when I know it is almost in china. "Way over priced". Cargo ship is 2 days away from china and has been at sea over 10 days. In addition, it keeps dropping my ships and I have to re-search. Not sure on dynamics but perhaps ship needs to relay positions. I dont need to pay $10 for that info. Their website shows the same. Other websites from other apps show different but still the same problem. Not sure y two different apps show different positions. Plenty of free sites that give me the same info. I tried to email the company but got server error from their website. $10 was a lot to pay for nothing. Garbage....
Getting no results at all from this site. No stars, a waste of money!

Usually VesselFinder Pro iOS app used & searched for

marine traffic, vessel finder, MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking, astrapaging ltd., and other. So, download free VesselFinder Pro .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
