Hours of entertainment and info
For an amateur watching boats pass by our patch of Portuguese coast and curious about their size, name, route and general purpose, this app is a goldmine of information, sometimes even with a photo. Example being a large sailing yacht regatta I saw start off today and have tracked heading for the straits of Gibraltar.
Accurate and easy to use.
I read some of the reviews about ships not being displayed or having a time lag. I live on the coast near Dover so installed the free version and by sheer chance there was a cargo ship displayed as being opposite my house, so I looked out the bedroom window and there it was going past so I upgraded to the paid version.
Out of order?
Southampton never a problem but very often nothing shown when looking at ports in the M.ed. Sometimes a port will show ships one day then nothing for days after.
Why does app now close after looking at one port so having to start up again. Used to be ok now annoying.
Developer Response ,
Hi Tony,
The app shouldn't close like that. If you are still having a problem please email us at help@pocketmariner.com so we can assist further. We rely on a network of shore based AIS aerials to pick up the ship positions and although our coverage is amongst the best in the industry we are always working to improve it. You can read more about our coverage and how we are working to improve it here:- https://pocketmariner.com/ais-ship-tracking/cover-your-area/
All the best the Pocket Mariner crew
