Review summary

Users find 'Vessel Tracking - Ship Radar' useful for basic ship tracking and estimated arrival times, beneficial for seafarers. However, many criticize poor vessel search functionality, inaccurate or outdated location data, limited coverage, and significant features locked behind subscriptions. The app struggles with frequent technical issues, loss of purchased features on new devices, and lack of customer support, leading to dissatisfaction and requests for refunds.
Pros

Rubbish app, can't search for vessels (says they don't exist) ones it does find can't click on it and go to live map, added favourite port and shows vessels in port but can't click on any of them to show where they are in port or their details. Payed for the upgrade thinking that's why it's rubbish and still the same, Google refunded luckily and app uninstalled as totally useless.

App failed to work after installing and paying for the upgrade. No new data for three days. I refreshed the app and it still failed to work. I have canceled my subscription.

Barely gives you any information on vessels without paying a subscription and even then there's apps and websites that'll give you more information on a vessel and past travel history without paying for a subscription.
