Ratings and reviews

The app has become much worse than before. I really don’t like the recent updates. It has become slower and whenever I tap on a ship to view its information it takes much longer to open. The new map colors are also uncomfortable and not visually appealing. The thing that made me dislike this app the most is that in previous versions you could view some ship information for free such as the ship’s length beam width draft and gross tonnage. There were also free features like tracking the ship

The map switches back from satellite to simple every time I close the app. My fleed is no longer displayed on the map, neither is wind or wave height. Basically nothing I have paid for works anymore. Since I'm not going pro for the hefty subscription fee they're asking, it's time to look for some other service. The recent update turned a working app into rubbish.

I can appreciate that they is more info, but the home screen seem⁶s reall; y busy, the "vessels near me" used to be much quicker, and it's difficult to find it on the map if there's a lot of traffic. there used to be a nice clean list of vessels arranged by distance. I like how the vessel info is formatted now, but overall the app doesn't seem as user friendly.
