Description

Ship Finder shows live moving ships on a worldwide map. The intuitive design combined with incredible performance puts you in control. Watch in full screen, view in AR, search, add filters and so much more! Ship Finder has been top rated and top ranking since 2009 and covers most of the world, tracking 20,000+ ships simultaneously. Our incredible app performance means that you can see all tracked vessels at once - no clustering here! Simply tap a ship to see its name, type, photos, speed, dimensions and much more. Powerful features such as filters, search and the ability to save favourite ships are included. (You can choose Apple or Google maps too!). Add and browse bookmarks to saved locations around the globe to quickly navigate to areas or ports of interest. You can even use Augmented Reality (AR) view to identify ships out at sea using your device camera. Ship Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly by smaller pleasure craft and yachts. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used by vessels for safety and navigation. Ship Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are. Ship Finder is also used extensively by maritime professionals and mariners. Our global AIS coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time as we add new AIS feeds and receivers. Please check www.shipfinder.co regularly to see the latest coverage. Pinkfroot are committed to customer service and continually improve our Ship Finder apps based on feedback.

    Unless something happened with the download I can’t tell this app is completely and totally useless. I work in the Gulf of Mexico which means I have to go to Port Fourchon and locate boats there. It doesn’t show anything in the Gulf of Mexico. I don’t know how that’s possible because one of the biggest ports is there
  • Getting to be a disappointed user

    I had high hopes for this when I upgraded from the Lite version, but the thrill is quickly leaving. The first thing I found was random boats traveling at 1177MPH. The developer acknowledges this is a bug. Now, with Crab season starting in Alaska I have been watching all the Deadliest Catch fleet moving into the area, but now ALL of Alaska has lost AIS coverage for this app only! This is a hobbiest viewer app, nothing more, and now one of the key places to follow boats in the US has been lost on this app. Why? Additionally when on the Calif coast looking at marine traffic I can also clearly see the oil platforms that I have already requested be included because they are marine obstacles and nice to locate on the map. There are a very few that show on Ship Finder, but they come and go randomly. Maybe there for a day or two, then gone for weeks. That’s useless too

    We’re tracking a cargo vessel from the USA to Lisbon but were disappointed to find that tracking doesn’t work until vessels are relatively close to land. Aside from that, the app is great.

    Can’t find my boat or dozens of other AIS boats in the Caribbean. Like, not a single boat in St Vincent and the Grenadines. It was cheap so I guess I don’t care but still bugs me I spent money on it.

    I cannot get this app to work. It will not show the boat’s location when I type in the name.
  • So much fun and a good geography lesson too!

  • Useless on the West Coast

    Despite contacting support on the number of occasions, this app continues to be unreliable, which renders it basically useless? I am in LA Harbor, and while the app shows several boats in the area, mine is never listed as well as boats nearby that I have a visual on. I have a second ship locator app, and it is much more reliable, and also free.
