Comments on MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking for Android

★★★★★ Stav M · Sep 14, 2026
Fun and informative. Essential if you like a ferry trip or two. Fun if you like to know where all the boats are! (good bit of boat spotting also.)
★★★★★ Gaye Laing · Oct 28, 2026
Finally, all the bugs from the updated app appear to have been fixed, and it's back to the way it was a year ago. Except for icon size. Can you not make them bigger?
★★★★★ topbunker · Oct 1, 2026
Love it. Live near the harbor, and use it every day.
★★★★☆ Govert Zijderveld · Oct 12, 2026
Well-balanced app, only the paying for getting a specific location is annoying and should be possible for one week during an Atlantic or other crossing for cruising
★★☆☆☆ Pamela Tabar · Sep 14, 2026
This app used to be much better BEFORE the facelift about a year ago. Still often has outdated info, ships aren't where the app says they are, and the satellite imagery is extra confusing if there's a static image of a ship in the picture!
★☆☆☆☆ Scott Wilson · Oct 23, 2026
This app used to work. Now it shows nothing, literally no vessels at all. I am a paid user, and this is pathetic. Need to fix this ASAP!
★☆☆☆☆ Blueberry Jones · Sep 24, 2026
App is so busted now. Constantly freezes up, can't search anything, can't click on vessels... Have to constantly force quit, and clear cache in order to get it to work for a minute until it starts breaking again. The UI is so inferior to other apps too. Going back to Vessel Finder.
