Latest reviews of Boat Watch - Ship Tracking app for iPhone and iPad
I paid for the fancy version, and I should have just stuck with the marine traffic free website.
This is the worst app I ever had! I purchased upgrade and it charged me says restore is successfully and never works. Even after Apple upgrade this morning. Nothing! The worst app I ever had!
I checked on a cruise ship that runs a route every few weeks out of Miami, to see how accurate the app is. I know the exact location of this ship. The app doesnt. It shows a location thats way out of date. As a result, I cant rely on any information from this app. Uninstalled.
Leaves much to be desired.
This app used to work. Now its showing about 4 boats in all of Connecticut. Only one in Newport! Its July. There are more -- Im sure of it. Perhaps they "fixed" this version now that they have a Pro version available for $7.99!!!!! Thanks for nothing.
