Features & Capabilities

Ship Finder Lite provides near real-time vessel tracking on a global AIS map with an AR view. It supports viewing 20,000+ ships simultaneously, with color-coded icons and no clustering; tap any ship to view its name, type, and destination.

The full version adds route history, advanced search, filters, bookmarks, photos, and favorite ships. Built on fast AIS feeds used by maritime professionals, it's an informative tool for tracking ships worldwide; note it is not intended for navigational use.

User Reviews

Users mostly rate the app negatively due to intrusive ads and mandatory paid upgrades, plus inconsistent vessel data and reliability across regions and devices. Some still find it useful for locating ships and tracking positions, and a few note accuracy in specific contexts (ATONs) or ongoing use despite limitations.
Pros
  • Useful for locating ships and tracking their positions near your location.
  • Can identify vessels in port and provide names; tracking directions can be entertaining for travel/videos.
  • Some users report accuracy in certain contexts (e.g., ATONs) and still see value in the app.
Cons
  • Intrusive ads in the free version with loud, frequent interruptions.
  • Paywall: basic functionality often requires upgrading to paid version; prompts to enter payment details.
  • Data/coverage gaps: many reports of zero or missing vessels in various areas; inconsistent data.
  • Reliability issues: some devices report the app not working or feeds failing.
  • Support problems: some users report unresponsive or slow support.

The “Lite” version provides light, and. Does nothing… zero. Wanted to see if it would impress me enough to buy the full version, but … to much nothing is nothing.

This app is up to date but keeps showing a notice that I need to update to a new version of the app. The notice is actually an ad. No honest app developer would allow such a dishonest ad to run on their app.
