This is a great app, I thoroughly enjoy being able to track my favorite sharks (shout out to Wyatt and lamanga) and share with friends! However I do have one small problem, to get back to the full map of sharks from one specific shark's information, I find myself having to refresh the app to get back to it. Otherwise I am completely satisfied with this app. One other suggestion would be notifications of specific sharks, I would love to be able to know where my faves are in real time. Thank you so much for listening and have a good day!!!

This app is one of the most entertaining things I have laid my eyes upon. Not only did I enjoy seeing all of the paths the shark took, but I also zoomed in and was surprised to find out that I could find my house. I will never be lost again with this app as I can always find my way back home :') I strongly recommend this app to everyone who reads this and is debating on whether they want to see where my boy Pablo goes or not. 10/10

I live off the Atlantic coast and the local raged sharks are updated about every few hours... Sharks do go upstream in rivers with brackish water to those who doubt this. And also.. Sharks that don't move may have damaged or list their tracking devices. But on our coast it's been very interesting and reliable... And remember... The tagged sharks are only a few of the many many many sharks out there ❤️
