Used be good but has become dated and unstable with key functionality issues

I use the app almost daily and like it. However, not enough UI testing was done when the ship filter was added. The button lies on top of the augmented reality button making it impossible to enable the latter on iPhone and iPad. Please move either away from the other.

After spending a one off payment of £4.99 I was expecting the app to be add free. Oh well, you live and learn.

I use this app regularly but on Friday a sart alarm went off at a yard in Great Yarmouth. HMCG were informed and the sart was turned off. But it is still showing on this app a day after it was switched off.

Just keeps saying ‘No ships on map’ - are you telling me that there are no ships in the whole English Channel?

I’ve been using Boat Watch for years for my job and I especially the the NOAA chart overlay option. When I got a new phone I had some issues getting the chart overlay option lay working. I reached out to tech support and they solved the issue very quickly. Thank you. I highly recommend this app.

I like that you get notifications on when a ship leaves port but the app is unable to provide live updates on ships that show on other apps.

Ship type filter added. You can now hide and show different ship types. This is very useful in busy areas like ports and marinas or for just spotting your favourites etc. - Hide all the moored vessels so you can more clearly see the moving ones. - Only show your favourites on the map. - Only show Tankers, Passenger boats or High Speed craft etc.
