Ratings and reviews

Guys you're headed in the right direction, but there's a lot of additional options you need to add. One being a users "Fleet" where they can add their favorite ships they watch the most. Also, the option for users to add pictures of these ships. Also, more ship data. I use an app called FindShip which is unfortunately no longer available in the Google store, but it is available as apk file to download and use. It is far superior to your app now, but you can change that. If you want.

It's an ok app, but there's some annoying attributes that could make a big difference. Search is slow, then when you select a ship, the app decides the zoom level. When you zoom out, the pin and ship tend to disappear, until you go to search again, which doesn't cache the previous results.

Edit.. 5/1/2024 The app is now functional Not sure what the problem was. I have paid for this app and cannot see my AIS . Stopped working about 3 days ago and has deleted all my history. It shows my last position just sw of Africa and I've never sailed there. I can see that everything shows as correct on marine traffic. Got your reply, will do 👍
