I don't know who your designers are but they screwed up a perfectly good app. can't find any of my ships. I used to look for. everything on the maps is nothing but an anchor. there isn't even a showing of a ship on there. and every time I go to search for one it's a joke to try to find it. what in the world were you all thinking of when you did this. there's an old saying " If it isn't broken, don't fix it"!! You need to fire your Tech people! And bring back the old. what bugs did they fix? 😞

I can appreciate that they is more info, but the home screen seem⁶s reall; y busy, the "vessels near me" used to be much quicker, and it's difficult to find it on the map if there's a lot of traffic. there used to be a nice clean list of vessels arranged by distance. I like how the vessel info is formatted now, but overall the app doesn't seem as user friendly.

I've used Marine Traffic since the days of Windows phone, the first app that I paid for many years ago. I've wanted to give the new upgrade a chance, but despite subscribing there were things missing - no max speed under the ship specifications. It logs me out everytime, but doesn't work with Android auto fill, resetting each time meant I just didn't bother logging in. The final insult has been the massive rise in subscription costs. I originally paid for lifetime, but was happy to pay £9/pa.
