Ship Finder Lite App Reviews

Vero helpfully

Limited functionality, annoying adds. Disappointed.

Pop ups make this APP useless.

This app does not work. It is so bad no one would want to try the paid version.

Do not trust this App! Do not download it!!

I purchased the full version, not the free version, a couple of years ago, and liked it and it seemed to be accurate within the San Francisco Bay area. Although certainly four bucks is not going to break the bank, I do have issues that when the upgraded, they deactivated my purchased version, requiring me to purchase again if I want the upgrade. Also, since I do not own the current version, will not let me review on the paid version. I understand subscription software, and how it is probably a better model long-term to ensure upgrades and maintenance, but this was not advertised as such, so find it sketchy and unethical bordering on bait and switch to not have disclosed that there would be continued purchases required to use it. I probably used it for a year before it vanished, but I would be incredibly upset if I had purchased it and the next month the new version came out, and deactivated my old version.

Too many pop up ads to even try it out. Wont be buying the paid version

Do I even have to give it a star? There is no information available. Its just a tease to make you purchase their $3.99 app. I wish I had read the reviews before I bothered to download it. Dont waste your time!

Where is the AIS tracking. Cannot follow individual craft by name.

I would buy this but there is no coverage of the Bermuda area

Use it to keep track of incoming ships to a shipyard. Finds most of them, except some military vessels that do not broadcast their identity. It almost always has the tugs and other vessels spot on.

As a frequent traveler, I have found this app to be perfect to identify vessels everywhere I go.

Great App. We visited the Lake Huron area and it was spot every freighter name and location. We knew exactly when to be watching for the ships to come by. I highly recommend this app.

I have been trying out this app and I am not impressed. Sometimes ships just disappear. There are other more reliable apps for ship tracking

It used to show ships in Long Beach, CA port but has not worked for the last month or two.

Worked great on my 3GS but updated to 6 plus and no ships

I use this app on my iPhone, iPad, notebook and the app crashes almost every time I use it on any of the devices.

I was going to buy this app after using it for the last two years. I just loaded it on my new iPhone 6 and it doesnt work at all. It shows my location on a map but it does not show any of the ships. Did you guys break this?

Why would I pay $5 for the upgraded version when the free version never works? Total Junk!

I have tried several and this one is the only one that consistently works. Thanks!
