Guys you're headed in the right direction, but there's a lot of additional options you need to add. One being a users "Fleet" where they can add their favorite ships they watch the most. Also, the option for users to add pictures of these ships. Also, more ship data. I use an app called FindShip which is unfortunately no longer available in the Google store, but it is available as apk file to download and use. It is far superior to your app now, but you can change that. If you want.

rarely used this app. Now importing a car from Japan, logged in to find the car carrier, nope, no luck, so decided to purchase the app thinking it might be holding back on what it shows, paid,,,,,, still absolutely nothing, searched boat, apparently the boat has not updated for nearly 900 days( noegh tracer)...Marine Traffic app , what a difference , found the Vessel straight away, sitting docked, Boat watch says 2 boats,,Marine traffic has more than 50. Absolute waste of money, go elsewhere!!

Hi, I think you mean the Hoegh Tracer? We have just checked and she is searchable in BoatWatch . You might want to try searching using her MMSI number 258628000 . Can you please email us at [email protected] so we can follow up with you? Best regards The PocketMariner crew

It's an ok app, but there's some annoying attributes that could make a big difference. Search is slow, then when you select a ship, the app decides the zoom level. When you zoom out, the pin and ship tend to disappear, until you go to search again, which doesn't cache the previous results.
