Comments:
I used this app for shipwatching. It used to be good, but now it lags really badly so ship positions are really inaccurate, plus they removed the pictures. The lag isn't an issue with the ship because the ships show up with other apps just fine. Finally just paid $5.99 for Marine Traffic and it's so much better. It's a shame because I like the look of FindShip better, but it just isn't functional anymore.
Can't figure out how to add a ship to a fleet, but the real problem is that the app plays ads that play sound effects. My phone is connected to Bluetooth speakers, the ads are incredibly loud and obnoxious, so you cannot use this app if you use your phone to play music or podcasts. Allowing a hostile takeover of your audio system is simply not acceptable.
this was the great app up until recently and one that I depend on to be able to do my job correctly and over the past week or two it continuously says network error. at first I thought it was maybe my an issue with my cell phone provider and what's speaking with some co-workers that were also having issues and have different carriers we realized ultimately it is an app issue. there are quite a few of us that actually pay for the app and not being able to use it is getting ridiculous.
Used to be a good app but it seems they have lost a number of shore reporting stations so the coverage in my area is very poor. It probably shows about 5% of the boats that are actually here with their AIS turned on. It's effectively useless for showing real time ship positions and often shows ships as stationary when they are obviously moving, like high speed ferries. Where there is a decent shore receiving station it does fine, but they seen few and far between.
EDIT Sept.5/19 Reinstalled App, it is indeed working again, thank you! I enjoyed it while it worked, I could see what ships were going to be going through the locks near me, and head down if there was something interesting, ie, USS Little Rock before it got stuck in the ice here in Montreal, shortly after it was commissioned. Deleting until it either comes back, or I find something similar.'
