    1) I surf in waters where big sharks hunt1.) my friend’s kids were in the water at El Capitan when they got out because they saw a fin. The dad told them to get back out there because he was sore it was a dolphin. He had the app and looked just for fun and sure enough Poe Girl the 17 ft shark had pinged in the bay. Everyone got out of the water. A couple weeks later a bit north a guy was killed by a shark. And the same one was in that area2) cool little animations of where each tagged shark has traveled and each point it registers has its time of year 3) seeing the animation was pretty cool as the shark I was most concerned about makes an incredible journey… but for now has parked it’s 17 ft self near one of my favorite spots3) would be nice to have all the sharks but that’s not gonna happen. This is Pacific Ocean specific

  • I took the bait but this app has no bite.

    First I want to say, Its fantastic what this organization and its people are doing. I wanted to support the app creator and wanted to learn about their lives because it looked like it could potentially could be exciting. However this app is not swimming in that direction. It is basically all static images with no animation, no video, no interviews, no pictures of the sharks being actually tagged by the marine biologist? This is not a 4 dollar app but 99 cents for what it currently is.Overall its map with shark fins on it that show you info about the shark and its location and some other stuff that will frenzy you into lack of interest; for me that was within 4 minutes. I commend the app programmer for doing this but please think of the people that buy it. They want to be excited and be pulled into the oceans and sharks and its people that are part of it.

  • Great idea, but...

    It gets boring fast and it appears all of the great white sharks have lost their signals. However, I do like that they added tiger sharks. I'm tired of seeing the reviews wanting more shark attack stuff. There are hundreds of thousands of dog bites every year and only less than one hundred shark bites so, what is the obsession? Is it because their teeth are bigger? This app is to fund shark research, not further vilify creatures that already have a bad rap thanks to stupid humans. Anyway, because I know the money went to a good cause, I didn't mind spending $4 on the app but the app itself is not worth $4 if that makes sense.

  • Awesome but needs WORK!

    Ok I love sharks and I think it’s amazing that you can track them. The Good- I love that the profiles and info about that sharks are detailed. The video feature is awesome it’s let’s you see these beautiful creatures and really get a sense of there size etc. The Bad- My notifications are on and everyday I get about a dozen ping notifications. Only problem Is when you click on the motivation it DOESN’T take you to the shark that actually pinged. So there I am looking at a screen with 12 shark fins on it and I’m like ok guess it’s time to play the memory game.Also I live on the east coast at the sharks ping on the west coast. I get that this is probable west coast people who made it, but I would be cool if you guys could also data from sharks all over. Like my other shark tracker. Like I said awesome app but needs work!

  • Amazing animals

    I find it so interesting to see where the sharks have been in a given time period by selecting the tracking option. You can enter the time period you would like to see for a selected animal. It’s amazing the distances these sharks can cover. Thank you for sharing this data with the general population by creating the app.

  • This is a Subscription App

    The description fails to mention that this is for a one year subscription. They should have stated that up front. The display on the iPhone is very small as well.Finally, the iPad version has the exact same name, so make sure your getting the right one for your idevice. I first purchased the iPad version, thinking it would be load able onto my iPhone as well. It wasn't. It didn't show up as being available for my iPhone when I synced it to iTunes. They should have named Expedition White Shark HD like many of the the other apps do. I so wanted to give a good review, but not stating up front that this is a one-year subscription, and the hard to view Display for the iPhone prevented that. Deception does not fit well with such a worthy endeavor.
