Comments on ShippingExplorer for Android

★★★★★ It's a good app but is sometimes difficult to locate accurately your vessel

★★★★★ I am in Demo mode 4/21/2017. I pay for Marine Traffic app and the ship I am going aboard says it is going to Houston and ETA is 0700. Well the agent told us tomorrow it will dock down in corpus and your app is up-to-date. I am afraid of what the cost will be for me to just use this for port eta and current position/heading once the demo period is over. But right now y'all get 5 gold stars and 2 cookies. And I need to google how much €42 is and what exactly is a € at forst I thought it was 42 cents. . I'm the real deal and from the USA and I'm in charge here.

★★☆☆☆ With the new updates. I can no longer zoom in and get a clear pic of where vessels are. Also, every time I open the app, now it shows the whole globe. So I have to zoom back in to where I am at. The new update seems to have made the app worse for me

★★☆☆☆ Obsolete. Last updated 2013. Map incomplete. No ship positions shown.

★★☆☆☆ Does not show vessel location, just a map and there is no method to obtain a license or the cost it just runs in demo mode the website is almost as useless as the app. I am using Android 10, and clearly it has problems but as I said no info on the website no contact hopeless.

★★☆☆☆ Buggy Used to work ok but now hasn't updated some ships in a month when other apps show they are active cleared cache and reinstalled app no luck, Shame as generally I liked the interface.
