Comments on MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking for Android

★★★★★ Dr Arthur Kurt Eilers · Aug 13, 2026

To control and verify all maritime traffic, in diverse situations to my professional need as Rescuer-Crisis Relief Manager. Marine Traffic has continues improving and adapting. An absolute need for any who follow Maritime life. Can only reconfirm and say it's my favorite maritime information. My absolute recommendation

★★★★★ Jim Vawter · Aug 20, 2026

This gives me access to vessels currently in port, and I can track where they go after leaving. As I know what vessels normally come to our port I can see when they are likely to arrive and plan to meet the vessel. When unfamiliar vessels arrive I can also get the details of that vessel. Excellent value and great to help promote tourism in my city.

★★★★★ Liam White · Aug 3, 2026

I love watching the app to see the ships so I can go see them

★☆☆☆☆ Steph · Aug 21, 2026

😡 It used to be easy to see all vessels, plus where land and sea was or is, and the details on everything. Not now! The 'nautical' interface was standard and free. Not now! They want you to pay AUS$48.00 to see vessels! The whole app is awful. We would never pay to get the full edition again!! Put it back to how it was early last year (2025). The whole thing is shades of light gray and impossible to use!! Ship updates and details are 29 days old 😡

★☆☆☆☆ Matt Epsly · Aug 4, 2026

Latest update is shocking, used to be a useful app for my work now it's useless, eta times are never anywhere near correct. If it hasn't improved by the time my subscription is up I definitely won't be renewing

★☆☆☆☆ Stephen Hunnisett · Aug 20, 2026

Well, this used to be a brilliant app but the recent update has completely ruined it. Much harder to use, repeatedly freezes on both android and ios devices, poor UI, shifted more info behind pay wall. Uninstalled.
