VesselFinder Pro App Reviews

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.

Dont show vessels true position, very bad

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.

This app shows all the boats I want to see. It does what its suppose to do.

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!

Many positions are not up to date. Build up of maps takes for ever, if it works at all.

Wont let me zoom into Pacific Northwest area of N America at all. So this app is a total waste of money unless you want only to see ships in some other parts of the world.

I have the same problem as the other reviewer...as soon as you search or zoom in at all on the west coast of N.A. It bounces back to the default position somewhere REALLY far away. Completely useless...hopefully an update will be available SOON.

I wish I had read the earlier reviews before I wasted my money. Apple needs to fix this so you can get a refund on Apps like this that just do not work.

Trying to zoom into Vancouver and every time I get close it jumps over to Japan. I have to scroll to the right, and keep trying. Still havent been able to zoom into that area. Dont recommend.

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?

This app is total crap!!! I paid $9.99 for something that does not show true locations and in some cases not even the ship I want. I just got off a Carnival ship last week and went to see its new location, it was still showing the date and location from a week earlier when I was on it. Dont waste your money on this junk !!!!

On my iPad mini there is "Low memory" info almost all the time. No matter what I do. I have other apps with similar functionality (flightradar for example) working without such message. Bad programming is the case here, I think. Pity.

Where is Black Sea? I mean vessels!!!! Its important area!!!!

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.

Have to echo previous comment. Cant zoom in on the west coast, making it useless for my needs. Anyway to get my money back??

This app doesnt 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 dont even work.. Update: still the same issue ...nobody cares and nobody is responsible... In the meantime the App Store makes the money on apps that dont work... Something is not right Apple !!!
