Like everyone else has already said, this app used to work great but now you can't search for ships because the menu button doesn't even exist! Also the boats take FOREVER to load onto the screen. This app is a complete WASTE OF TIME now and I would like my money back.

This app was great on ios. After switching to Android I have absolutely no use for it. I can't search, it won't show my location, and no ships are visible. Really angry that I wasted money on both versions of this only to be left with a second Google maps.

Had this on my iphone and it worked well. But the Android version is much slower and does not have live streaming of vessel position for some reason. It needs bringing up to speed by Pinkfroot.

With 67 1 star reviews I still decided buy the app. BIG MISTAKE! Like other did advice: I using the must better Marine Traffic. As for now: 68 1 star reviews

The difference between the 2 is shocking, I've a note 4 and you cannot make any of the boats out on the tiny photos. The interface is second rate and looks out dated. In short DONT bother.

Was really good but it's now rubbish. No settings ultra small font what a waste of space this is now. I would recommend Marine Traffic. Update......Just reinstalled this after assurance from pink foot it would be better and guess what.....It isn't!

About this app

The original and most highly rated ship tracking app

Our popular Ship Finder apps have been featured in maritime and sailing publications and websites across the globe.

Don’t take our word for it – check out our ratings and the wide range of positive press we’ve had across the world.

Ship Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are.

Features include:

Live moving ships
Ship route trails
Search by vessel name
Ship information such as – Vessel Name, Port of Registration, Destination, ETA
Technical information such as – MMSI, IMO, Callsign , Heading, Length, Width, Draft

Ship Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly smaller pleasure craft. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used directly by vessels for navigation.

Our global coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time, please check www.shipfinder.co regularly for current coverage.
