## Review summary

Many reviews show the app struggles with coverage and reliability—only a small portion of ships appear, with major regions often missing. Users report slow/map issues, broken search and no visible routes, leading to poor accuracy and a perception that the app isn’t worth the price. A minority still enjoys easy vessel locating and local ship visibility, but overall sentiment is negative due to coverage gaps and stale data.

### Pros

- Easy to locate cruise ships in the app.
- Users express overall love and positive sentiment for the app (Absolutely LOVE this app!).
- Some reviews mention seeing ships near their location (e.g., along rivers or near campsites), highlighting local visibility.

### Cons

- Very limited coverage: only a small fraction of ships are shown, leaving many vessels unseen.
- Poor geographic coverage and missing traffic in major regions (Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Atlantic basin, certain ports) as well as other busy areas.
- Unreliable and slow performance: ships load slowly or not at all, maps fail to display vessels, and data is not up-to-date.
- Search and routing features often do not work: difficulty searching for specific vessels and not able to view routes.
- Not worth the price: many users feel the app is overpriced for the limited, unreliable data, with some calling it a waste of money and noting outdated updates (5+ years).
