MyShipTracking Reviews

by Codytravel

I look at the map to see where a tug is and it’s always in the same spot. It never moves! It is madding because I want to see where it’s going and yet I can’t do that!! I hate it. What’s the point of MyShipTracking if it doesn’t even update the location of the tugs?!!

Works well enough and it's fun to browse around looking at different ports - but you ask to turn on notifications every time I open MyShipTracking . You shouldn't take the nagware approach for an option that many don't need or want.

Hours between reporting ship positions, Deadly.

‘enable alerts’ pop up Constantly in your face. What use is an alert Seven Hours later? Call the coast guard at that point. 👎

Vessels are shown well on a visually simple map, you can adjust which labels you see, ports and vessels, but the lag is TOO DANGEROUS for seeing traffic in shipping channels.

My nephew has been on a number of ships, I added two to my fleet, but now cannot access it, I just get the dots like it is trying, but never gets there. I can access the ships by searching for them by name, and can see nearby vessels but cannot see “my fleet”

Maybe I am missing it somehow, but showing my current location and direction of travel would be really helpful. I allowed MyShipTracking to access my location. Why isn’t it being used?

I am looking for the vessel my son works on. Your app says the vessel has not moved in two days and they are six days farther down the river right now than MyShipTracking shows.

As a ship Captain, I need current updates on shipping traffic. I can not count on this being anything close to accurate. Often 30 min, hours, or even no reports of a tug at all that I’m looking at. Other times it’s fine. Free, and good for the casual user, just not for me.

It keeps asking for my location every time that I open MyShipTracking . Even after I set my phone’s settings to not allow it having my location, it’s annoying.

I’d give it 5 stars if it had your your own location on the map. Don’t understand why it asks for you to approve location services but doesn’t give you your location in the map.

Vessel tracks can be fairly accurate but the visual on the vessel position is often many hours between updates.

I use MyShipTracking so I can check the names of the cruise ships that are docked in port SXM
I can see the port from my front porch my home

MyShipTracking is awesome through the help of someone in Portsmith who is my direct contact all I needed was a container number I am tracking a delivery of slate for a historical house in Raleigh North Carolina MyShipTracking is awesome I’m able to track both of the shifts and know exactly when they will dock I am able to give this information to the people here in the states so the trucking industry can pick up the material and bring it to my job everyone is shocked of the screenshots and the information that I have been providing everyone again I cannot say enough about App it is awesome.

Living right on the water, your app makes it so much easier watching the arrivals and departures of the ships!

With MyShipTracking, I’m able to track my new car from Germany to the USA via boat. I can follow it when ever I want to see it’s location at any time which I desire. I also get notifications when my car gets to its port of destination. This site is great for anxious, OCD people like me who are excited to get their new car. In summary, it’s a super site for tracking one’s shipment—autos for example.

I would enjoy knowing ahead of time when a cruise ship will arrive or depart!

I’ve recently been introduced to MyShipTracking and it has been a great aid in my day to day work.

by EBSept

Great App, Very informative. I was able to track a vessel that was carrying a container I imported and MyShipTracking gave me all sorts of great updates (Departure, Destination ETA). Would highly recommend

I have been using MyShipTracking for a year now. I’ve always wondered where the ships on the horizon were heading, now I know. I have enjoyed creating fleets and tracking them around the world.

We are (were) avid ocean cruisers until covid changed all of our lives. Our next cruise is 1-Dec-2021 onboard Oceania's Marina. She’s now on her 1st cruise with guests in the Baltic. I’ll follow her progress with this app until she hopefully picks us up in Miami. Great app if you spend any time on the water.

This is by far the best Vessel tracker app I’ve used. Up to date to the minute when opened,the alerts I set up are spot on and I haven’t one issue with MyShipTracking at all. Several other apps I’ve used are pretty decent but always freeze up or don’t update very often or don’t even work sometimes when I try to open it to track one of my Vessels. I give MyShipTracking 1000 stars out of 5!!!!!

by Jinjang Lee

The information is out of dated ,worthless

by Jjurasic

I was trying MyShipTracking. It was great for three days. Now it shows the sip I follow sitting in port on the map, but it list it as departed. I know the ship move having talked to the pilot. Simple, MyShipTracking is junk!

by Sami Butks

MyShipTracking does not track them right. I was watching the boats come in and I was trying to to track but I did not work

by Good Options

Ship tracking is not working every time, and it is not possible to track the ship stay in one wrong possition.
I have the ios 12.3.1

by Lost Vessel

Tried to track a vessel and add it to my fleet and MyShipTracking crashed each time I tried it. Also crashed when trying to show the path of the ship. Needs to be fixed!

by Jackseriouslythey’realltaken?

MyShipTracking is fine, but it nags you to enable notifications every time you open it. This is against Apple’s guidelines. Please fix this.

by JWR-San Gabriel

iPhone application hangs & doesn’t save information.

by Kayaker424

App doesn’t show all of the boats in the area and a majority of the vessel locations are out dated.

by Donna846

MyShipTracking does not work, never updates or give realistic coordinates.

by Gwarthen

Does not show barges in and around SF BAY? Oil barges?

by Wardblur Music

Living in Oxnard gives us direct access to the Port of Hueneme. Tracking vessels that are coming in allows us to see the arrivals & departures from the port! Awesome 🌟🌟🌟
