Ratings and reviews

Absolutely rubbish from a UX perspective - cannot zoom in without it zooming back out, constant polling even when it's just sitting there, and intrusive advertising after not being able to even view anything meaningful because it won't let me fkn zoom in. And for what? Approximations and "hearsay" about sharks... Cmon guys, at least make your app functional so I can panic about the hearsay... #itused2Baboutthesharks

No where near as good as it has been in the past. Information is crowded with adds and difficult to interpret. Shame as it was great when first used. Also the below option for adds negative impact on app is not usable 😡

Good app but there are others out there and there doesn't seem to be information sharing between groups. As a result, the recent sightings on cape cod (that included beach closings) are not even showing up.
