Something is off with DorsalSharkReports. DorsalSharkReports takes you to its website when you click on the icon, and asks you to set up an account, but the first response back is a “password invalid” type message, but it never even confirmed my new password or new account or sent me an email to confirm anything. Then when I googled DorsalSharkReports , the page that comes up is the same sign up page the phone desktop icon takes you to. The whole experience was too shaky for me to buy into their onerous terms and conditions. Deleted.

We have been using DorsalSharkReports to monitor our ocean filled vacation. Only wish we could access Florida a little bit better from the Home page. I like the information and feel it’s definitely useful.

I LOVE DorsalSharkReports. I live in Hawaii and didn’t know DorsalSharkReports existed until recent shark attacks. I’m going to spread the word on Facebook since it’s a user generated app and the more people reporting the safer we’ll feel in the water.

Used to be a great app. Whenever clicking on an incident, they show you a 30 second ad. After watching the dopey ad for some dumb game, you can see the details of the incident but can’t see the pictures without a subscription.

I receive the password link, but when I click on it, DorsalSharkReports opens up for a brief moment either the reset screen and then instantly flashes back to the sign in page. The result is I am unable to use DorsalSharkReports . iPhone 7 iOS 11.1.

I surf everyday in San Diego County and having DorsalSharkReports is a great way to help track the man in the grey suit. You never want to meet the man in the grey suit.

Works as expected.

DorsalSharkReports is awesome and so helpful. It provides information on what sharks are in the water near you and that is always good to know. You can also look at shark sightings in other areas not near you. Whether you are surfing or just playing in the water, it's always good to know what is out there, so you can be safe and have fun.

This is a pier driven app so I would guess that it depends on where you live how accurate it is. On the plus side Dorsal does site who made the sighting. Thank you Specialized Helicopters for covering the Santa Cruz area.
By Ilovesurfval
Easy to use app. I surf and feel much better knowing where the sharks have been sighted. I like that the sightings are verified by trustworthy people.

My first stop before deciding where/when to hit the water! Thank you for existing!
By Jmarielucy
Just moved to the SC coast and received my first shark sighting alert. It gave the location and the distance from the beach. Made more feel much more comfortable with Jaws!

App crashes after update please fix
By Lone&ranger
It was a great app until it was last updated and it logs you out in the process. So unless you have stored your password somewhere, it's impossible to log back in. There's no option to reset your password. Please fix!
By Mamezao
Super useful, tks for creating this, more than an app it saves surfers!
By Pirate adhesive
since I apparently live in a densely shark populated area, DorsalSharkReports is very helpful if and when I decide to venture to the beach!
By iknowaguyinjacksonville
Accurate, timely and good value. A must have if you surf, patrol, swim or boogey board
By RedMcCaw
An easy and effective way to share shark sightings! The Dorsal team is very responsive and friendly!

Really good
By Marko Polio
Updates have ruined this once amazing app.
Crashed after first update.
Now super buggy after most recent update.
I can't use it anymore.
By The Girl With Nine Lives
It's a good app so far... But it's unfortunate that it's limited to the US and Australia only.

Give them one star and they will go away forever
