## Review summary

Reviewers value the app for real-time shark activity, tagged-shark visuals, and safety usefulness, but repeatedly cite a paywall, a redesigned, buggy UI, limited species coverage, and data reliability issues as major drawbacks.

### Pros

- Real-time, up-to-date shark activity and sightings.
- Includes names and photos of tagged sharks, with local coast coverage (e.g., Massachusetts).
- Supports safety planning by showing sightings before swimming.
- Regular updates and useful information for beachgoers.

### Cons

- Paywall/subscription required to access alerts and full features.
- New version is hard to navigate and buggy; old format was easier to use; some features missing (e.g., last two days view).
- Limited species coverage; primarily shows Great Whites and users want more species.
- Inconsistent data/updates; alerts can be sporadic and sightings may be missing in some areas.
