User Reviews

Users appreciate Whale Alert for its informative whale sighting data, helpful boating regulations, and ability to report sightings. However, many Android users report frequent app crashes and bugs, hindering usability. Whale sighting data lacks real-time updates, and users desire better filtering options to view recent reports within custom time frames. Despite the app's potential and positive features, persistent technical issues and delays have frustrated users, with calls for urgent updates and bug fixes to improve stability and functionality.

Pros

Provides accurate and informative whale location sightings.
Fun and useful for boating regulations related to whale encounters.
Allows users to report whale sightings and helps in whale protection efforts.
Available on Android, expanding access beyond iOS users.
Interface shows maps and whale sighting reports effectively when working.

Cons

App frequently crashes on Android devices, making it unusable for many users.
The app's data on whale sightings is often delayed, not showing real-time or recent sightings.
Bug glitches with map display causing double or flickering maps.
No recent updates or fixes to address ongoing crashes and bugs.
Limited filtering options for sighting times; users want customizable time ranges like last few hours.

Recent reviews

Wonderful, but please dev more options to filter, like instead of last 2 days, week, and month, I'd love to use last 1 day, or even enter duration like x hours. An interface to see a list of sightings, type, time etc. would also be nice. But I love the app!

I need to know where the whales are right now. Not 2 days ago. There should be a way to limit the view to sightings within the last 6, 12, and 24 hours.
