Ratings and Reviews
A total disappointment
I purchased Marine Traffic for the explicit and sole reason to track my family on their Pacific Aria cruise from Brisbane to Vanuatu. So far the app shows the ship having been stationary for 17 hrs, 20 nm off the coast, after leaving port 4 hrs earlier. This is despite the app saying that the vessel is doing 17 knots!
A disappointing waste of money.
Suggest improvements to interface and in app purchases
Okay it sort of works. But the interface is a bit all over the place and needs a complete rethink imho. On the in app purchases everywhere, I guess that is the modern way. But some of them are applied too strictly. For example, if you buy 24 hours of position information through Access Plus 24, that historical position is no longer accessible after the 24 hours. So the access might have just expired, but rather than provide the last position during the time I paid for access, it provides a (free) position report from, say, 20 hours ago. This would be an easy fix and much fairer.
And for that matter, I suggest something other than a bog standard “please reach out to customer support with more details” response. I provided a specific suggestion re Access Plus 24 in my review. Take it or leave it, but if you leave it your app will be the worse for it, imho. As for the user interface, i suggest some extensive ux work on the app

Could be improved but still ok
I use this app to track the boats my partner is on when he delivers them around australia. It would be great to nominate 1 boat which, when you open the app, it tells you instantly where that boat is..At the moment I open the app, locate the boat from the fleet, click and wait to see. When I choose to track just one boat all I need is to see the last position and info for that boat only... If I want to see all boats in the area or a fleet then I would click on buttons to open those screens.
