Dated Information

I used to depend on VesselFinderPro for tracking vessel arrival times to meet up for service work. Now all of the information, locations are out of date, sometimes by 10 hours, most of the time by days. Useless to me now.

App is crap

App doesn’t work! Real frustrated that I purchased this and now it don’t work won’t pull up anything. All my vessel in my fleet can’t track.

Save your money and skip this app

I spent $9.99 to buy VesselFinderPro, just to be offered subscription plans to make it useful.
What a scam!

Not trustworthy App!

I purchased VesselFinderPro for my iPhone 8+ for 9.99USD thinking that it will be better than ‘Lite’ which is free. I work on cruise ship. First three findings were almost close to accuracy of this cruise ship. However, after every 24 hours checking of the position of the same ship it showed the position at the point where it was still, 3 days ago... and still showing same position. No update even after 72 hours.. very disappointing app

Not really useful

If you buy VesselFinderPro thinking that you’ll be able to track your vessel, forget it. You might be able to with the ridiculous cost to do satellite tracking. If you aren’t using it to track for a year the cost doesn’t justify it. It doesn’t update more often than free tracking.

Useless, fails to find vessels

Other apps and web sites easily find vessels by name or number. This one cost a bunch and can’t locate anything. Would like my money back.

Update

Glad to see y’alls update fixed VesselFinderPro , by making all the vessel names in my fleet bolder so I can see them better. Still don’t have a map to see though. Just blue dots on a blue screen.

Waste of money

All the information on VesselFinderPro can be googled and you can find the same information. You have to pay for VesselFinderPro and then pay more for additional information. I want my money back!

Map not working as of August 2020

This an awesome app to look at boats as they travel but as of August 2020 the map quit working. If the map works it will only show a small piece of the map.

Deleted VesselFinderPro and reinstalled VesselFinderPro . After I reinstalled VesselFinderPro it got worst but not showing all the boats I watch.

$1000 for satellite data!

Once you pay your $10 for the premium version of VesselFinderPro , only then do you find out that the only way to view satellite AIS data for a ship is to pay $1000 per year for their Satellite Plan. Caveat emptor!

Issues need to be addressed- avoid for now

I started using the web version, living on the Chesapeake Bay, this was a great resource to identify the ships pass by.

I decided to invest in the company by going over to the Paid IOS version. I felt it’s proper to support the developer, however I feel that the most recent build 3.33 has major issues. Namely, the map doesn’t show up on the screen. The entire planet missing. You can see the ships... just that. No possible way to even center the map on your location as a reference. The free web site will still provide a map, just not VesselFinderPro that we paid for....
I will revise my review when you provide the service we paid for.

App crashed on me

VesselFinderPro worked fine had a update I completed update and VesselFinderPro crashed on me will not open. It’s asking for a star rate I don’t even want to give it a one star but have too to post this

Does not show the chart

VesselFinderPro was working great until one day it stopped showing the map. It only shows a blue screen with boat icons. iPhone. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Bought the pro version and it does the same thing.

This app is garbage

VesselFinderPro is a waste of money. I tracked a ship that I know has moved multiple times. VesselFinderPro shows it’s in the same place for over a month. I would say VesselFinderPro is trash.

Poor quality. Needs fixing.

Cannot login. Keeps saying log in error on server. Tried to reset password. It said it was send an email. Never did. Don’t waste your $$$$. Lost $10 with this purchase

Quirky and lame

I expected so much more for 10 bucks. Locks up/crashes often. Loses my fleet and/or signs me out. Doesn't have many features/very basic for an app that I had to buy. Disappointed. I'm giving it 2 stars because I am able at least to track the one ship I'm interested in right now, but I feel it's very limited. The free app isn't even worth the time it takes to download. Does nothing, but again I say I expected more from the "pro" version.

JoPxzxz

Please do some work on VesselFinderPro, the free version worked better than this. Very inconsistent, seldom runs real time

Less Functional

I used to love VesselFinderPro, but most of my fleet no longer shows up after the latest update. I work on the water and the newly missing data really makes VesselFinderPro not very useful. I have also been unable to find a way to ask for help.

Poor update

Updated to the 4.07 and found the previously easy to use interface gone. Info now somewhat hidden and just not “simple” to find

Most troubling, my Fleet, has disappeared. Tried the now required registration only to have VesselFinderPro ignore the login, Delay caused by server synch issue? Not good, not good!!

An Incredible App And Exciting With Use

VesselFinder Pro is an incredible and exciting app to own, especially if you ordered a new vehicle and shipping it by vessel from overseas and want to track its to your delivery port of entry. At present time, I am experiencing tracking my new vehicle onboard a vehicles vessel from the U.K Port of Exit to my U.S. Port of Entry. It has been an amazing, interesting, and educational tracking journey as the vessel travel down the Atlantic Ocean coastline making port calls. I have access to very helpful and useful data about the ship’s movement details, especially ETA’s for ports along the travel route. I find this information very interesting, useful, and helpful in tracking my new vehicle for U.S. Port Entry delivery. VesselFinderPro ’s graphics are pleasing. I can get information quickly. Information is easy to read, VesselFinderPro has a clear purpose, VesselFinderPro ’s content interests me, and VesselFinderPro is exciting to use. VesselFinderPro provides a high quality impressive, interesting, and educational tracking experience. I am very pleased with use of VesselFinder Pro. For vessel shippers, I would highly recommend VesselFinderPro to a friend or colleague.

Features

VesselFinder is the most popular vessel tracking app, providing real-time data on the positions and movements of vessels, utilising a large network of terrestrial AIS receivers.

It is synced with VesselFinder.com, so any change of vessels in My Fleet list will reflect on either the mobile App or the website.

- My Fleet - add your favorite vessels to "My Fleet" list.

Visibility of vessels in the App depends on AIS signal availability.
