## Review summary

FindShip was once a popular and reliable ship tracking app with a pleasing interface and useful fleet management features. However, many users now report intrusive full-screen ads and loud advertisement sounds, frequent network errors, and frozen or outdated data that reduces app functionality. The removal of vessel photos and diminished shore station coverage has also disappointed users. Additionally, the developers appear unresponsive to user feedback and subscription issues. These multiple recurring issues have led to frustrated users seeking alternatives or demanding fixes.

- Visual design and user interface were appreciated by some users.
- Ability to track multiple ships or fleets was highlighted as a useful feature.
- Some users considered the app reliable and felt their subscription was worth it.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive advertisements disrupting usage, including ads with loud sounds.
- Network errors and app crashes leading to inability to track ships or use the app properly.
- Poor or outdated ship position data causing inaccurate or static vessel information.
- Lack of customer support or response from developers, including unresponsive emails and non-functioning website.
