Not accurate
Every year I open the app it shows the same sharks in the same places. So I decided to open it on February 1st and it showed the same sharks in the same places
Good
I like this app because I love the beach but I’m SO ducking AFRAID OF SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I kinda freak out when clicking the buttons😅😅. I live MASS which is connected to cape cod🙂 BUT there’s SO SO SO SO SO MANY SHARKS THERE. I Don’t actually use this app anymore b/c I got so scared clicking the shark buttons😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Vague notifications
Notifications don’t mention what state had sighting.
Fascinating
A super informative app, with up to the minute notifications, all with great attention to accuracy. Because the sharks are tagged and you know where they are, they become fascinating as opposed to fearsome, and their names are truly hilarious. I’m grateful.
Could use improvements…
The push notifications seem to be very hit or miss… I download this app a week or so ago and yesterday was the first time getting notifications. One more today but not all sightings come through, including one from one of our local beaches yesterday. Also would be good to have distance shown in notifications. And on the map would be nice to have some sort of indicator as to the most recent sightings … maybe numbered icons as an option?
Bad app name
You you should rename the app to Atlantic Sharktivity since it’s completely useless to the entire western USA.
Doesn’t show where they are
What’s the point if you have no idea where it’s happening. You don’t see towns or anything. I don’t get it. Are you supposed to guess or try to grab another map to figure it out. That’s dumb Bummer. Let down
