I've been using the app for several years without issue. This week for the past couple of days it doesn't even load, sits on the load screen and does nothing. then after 5 minutes or so it says the service is unavailable, due to maintenance downtime or capacity issue. refreshing does nothing. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, same thing, then I tried to load the address the app said to contact before leaving a review, and that fails as well.

there is no gps locator on this, but it does seem to remember the last location. there is another app with this exact name making it confusing at times. if it can't find a ship it says - satellite position and nothing more. it seems to happen to ships inland and in the middle of the ocean. more often than not however, it can't seem to find anything about the main ships out in the ocean. it makes it really frustrating to use.

This app used to be very informative. Gave us the ability to locate and identify ships coming into our area so we could view them passing. Now it is completely worthless. No free data available at all. If you want any ship location information you must subscribe to satellite at $116/ month. Pro version is the same. I have Uninstaller & reinstalled three times. I give up. We're back to year 2000. Thanks for nothing, Vesselscam!
