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.

Latest my phone installed last night crashes after updating vessels. I'm giving four stars because this app has worked well for years.
