The visibility of vessels in this application depends on AIS signal availability. If a particular vessel is out of our AIS coverage zone, VesselFinder displays her last reported position and updates it as soon as the vessel comes into range. The completeness and accuracy of the information provided cannot be guaranteed.

Just OK
The free version is not too bad, but not great. Shows outdated ship position info. For example, I was tracking container ship CMA CGM Saigon. This app had ship position 13 days old. Marine traffic had AIS position 2 minutes old. Not worth $10 to me for more accurate ship position. I was looking to see if i could find something better than Marine Traffic, guess there isn't one.

Won’t tell me anything about the ship, says to upgrade if I want more information
United StatesNot working properly
I have deleted and reloaded the app several times and even deleted and shut down my phone and for over an hour and restarted and reinstalled the app. It stays in the logo screen so long that I close it and reopen the app several times before it will show anything inside the app. If the Free version will not work, I will definitely Not get the paid version.

Wanted to track a ship my partner is on, and it shows data from 5 days ago. What’s the point?
United StatesJunk
App is very unstable on the iOS platform. May work for a few days or a week and can’t even open it for another week or so
United StatesNot working properly
Recently the app has gotten very undependable. I use it daily to find my boat cause we move between fleets. But over the last few months when I open the app it does not work. It just sits in the app logo and never opens completely. This happens about 50% of the time I try to use it. Frustrating.
United StatesIncomplete results
Could not find any aircraft carriers in the search results despite them being visible on your Vessel Finder website.
