  • Wouldn’t even let me sign in the first time...deleted

    Something is off with this app. The app takes you to its website when you click on the icon, and asks you to set up an account, but the first response back is a “password invalid” type message, but it never even confirmed my new password or new account or sent me an email to confirm anything. Then when I googled the app, the page that comes up is the same sign up page the phone desktop icon takes you to. The whole experience was too shaky for me to buy into their onerous terms and conditions. Deleted.

  • Great App But…

    strawberry’s are GOOD

    The app is great and all. You can see where to hit the beach or go on vacation, when and where to hit the water. I just hate this ONE THING.So, Whenever there are pictures or videos in a report you can’t see them. Why? OH YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION!! Like.. just to see a video and or photo?That’s to extreme..

  • Amazing app!

    This app is awesome and so helpful. It provides information on what sharks are in the water near you and that is always good to know. You can also look at shark sightings in other areas not near you. Whether you are surfing or just playing in the water, it's always good to know what is out there, so you can be safe and have fun.

  • Good idea for vacation

    We have been using this app to monitor our ocean filled vacation. Only wish we could access Florida a little bit better from the Home page. I like the information and feel it’s definitely useful.

  • Good not Great

    Really good app, however it seems to crash a lot when I check the local pings and notifications. It’s a wonderful idea, love the way it’s set up…if only it didn’t crash every so often it would be perfect!

  • Great idea!!!

    I LOVE this app. I live in Hawaii and didn’t know this app existed until recent shark attacks. I’m going to spread the word on Facebook since it’s a user generated app and the more people reporting the safer we’ll feel in the water.

  • Good info.

    This is a pier driven app so I would guess that it depends on where you live how accurate it is. On the plus side Dorsal does site who made the sighting. Thank you Specialized Helicopters for covering the Santa Cruz area.

  • Typically awesome

    This app is so awesome for everything in sharks 🦈. Everything from attacks, to spotting, to tagging. You can’t say much more than that!!!

    Easy to use app. I surf and feel much better knowing where the sharks have been sighted. I like that the sightings are verified by trustworthy people.

  • Thank you!

    My first stop before deciding where/when to hit the water! Thank you for existing!
