Trying to get 5 stars when they limit you upon the already very limited data you are able to find. Tries to force you to buy the "upgraded" version.... Like most other "tracking" apps, the accuracy is not even close, yet they want you to buy an upgraded version to see more data. Nope! Deleting just as I do when I find any app is trying to force me to buy because they think they have me "reeled in"...

Thank you for your feedback. We acknowledge your apprehensions regarding limitations and upgrade notifications. However, we do not force our users to upgrade. They maintain complete autonomy to choose when and if they want to upgrade, once they've utilized all available free limited features and perceive the value in our product.

This app slowly stops working. I don't know if it's be ause I won't upgrade but, flight radar I can track aircraft all say long. Can't imagine the tech is that much different for shippjng, but at first I could see any ship. Then it started to take forever to load, now I can't see any ships despite trying to refresh. I've had this app for less than 3 weeks.

Severely lacking!!!!! Good idea although the amount of ships shown is by far SEVERELY INACCURATE. I know right at this moment there are at minimal 100 ships, boats and other vessels from France and the UK along with many vessels from other nations on route or at anker in the English Channel and North Sea. this app shows none of those at all. If I used this can you imagine the possibility of potentially life threatening issues at sea. Far from Useful guys

Hi, thanks for your feedback and for sharing your concerns. ShipAtlas displays vessels that are equipped with Class A AIS transmitters and have valid IMO and MMSI numbers. This ensures we provide reliable and verified vessel data. However, some smaller boats or vessels without Class A AIS or without valid identifiers may not appear on the map.
