I have used MarineTraffic for many years, since the time I paid $5 for the app, and later I also used Pro. It was simply the best marine tracking app. Unfortunately, the new version has completely ruined the experience. It is confusing, difficult to find vessels, and much less practical. Please read the recent user reviews and listen to your long-time users. Why destroy something that worked so well? Please bring back the old MarineTraffic interface or offer a Classic Mode.

I don't know who your designers are but they screwed up a perfectly good app. can't find any of my ships. I used to look for. everything on the maps is nothing but an anchor. there isn't even a showing of a ship on there. and every time I go to search for one it's a joke to try to find it. what in the world were you all thinking of when you did this. there's an old saying " If it isn't broken, don't fix it"!! You need to fire your Tech people! And bring back the old. what bugs did they fix? 😞

Wow. Very disappointed. I've used the site for a while now and finally made the switch to the app. Figured the $5.99 USD would be worth it because of my frequent use and how cumbersome the site is. Well it's not worth it. After you pay the $5.99 you get access but the majority of ships have their "position received by satellite". You need to pay $0.99 USD per ship to get access to info for only 24 hours. Keep your money, skip the app and just use the website.
