1/5Almost nonfunctional app
In comparison to other marine traffic apps available this app has nothing to offer the mariner. Screen refresh is terrible, no effective vessel search and no improvement with the high priced upgrades. I would not recommend this app. One star is too generous.

4/5Good
This is an interesting app where I could track some marine activity. It's well made, but I would like better date in the future.

5/5Great
Trackaship is an amazing app it allows you to track various boats using GPS coordinates and giving their current estimated speeds as well. I tried this when using it on a chartered fishing boat and it tracked us perfectly. Very amazing app and highly recommended anyone who goes on any type of boating expeditions to try it out.

6.4.0
Thanks for using Trackaship. We have improved coverage in the North sea between UK, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway. Furthermore, we have added full coverage of Danish and Norwegian territorial water ways. Do not hesitate to write if you own an AIS receiving station and want to share your data with us. We regularly update our app to fix bugs, improve performance and add new features to help you get the most out of our vessel- and ship data.

6.5.0
We changed a number of important things in this version: * Ship icons now points in the heading direction (i.e. the direction of the stern compared to geographical north). If heading is not received the icon will show the direction of the course - this is often the case with sailing boats. * Course pointers are fixed in this version. They show where the ship will be in 15 minutes if it continues along the existing course and speed. Course is the actual direction the ship is moving over ground (so it includes wind and water forces). * Base stations in the AIS system are now shown with an antenna symbol - rather than a "Not Available" icon that confused our users (with good reason). * We put all of the help videos in the app on Youtube.com and shows them from there in order to reduce the size of our binary. If you like our app don't forget to put a great review on the Appstore as each new version clears out the old ones.
