Description
Our popular Ship Finder apps have been featured in maritime and sailing publications and websites across the globe.
Don’t take our word for it – check out our ratings and the wide range of positive press we’ve had across the world.
Ship Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are.
Features include:
Live moving ships
Ship route trails
Search by vessel name
Ship information such as – Vessel Name, Port of Registration, Destination, ETA
Technical information such as – MMSI, IMO, Callsign , Heading, Length, Width, Draft
Ship Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly smaller pleasure craft. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used directly by vessels for navigation.
Our global coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time, please check www.shipfinder.co regularly for current coverage.

1 ★ Was really good but it's now rubbish. No settings ultra small font what a waste of space this is now. I would recommend Marine Traffic. Update......Just reinstalled this after assurance from pink foot it would be better and guess what.....It isn't!
5 ★ I installed application but there is only a empty map. No any vessel. No any information. No any search possibility. This is definetely crook robbing programme because there is no refund money option as well.
1 ★ Had it for the apple and loved it. I joined the website, was a real enthusiastic user... But this android app is awful. It crashes. Runs slowly. The ship info windows are poor and unresponsive. Even the font is not clear. Im binning this in favour of Marine traffic which is awesome. Sorry guys - you lost a customer.
1 ★ Bought it and installed in my Samsung galaxy s3 hoping I could find my brothers location who works in a ship in the Philippines. We badly need to find him and his location especially after being battered by typhoon Yolanda. This app is a good idea but unfortunately didn't help. It could help save lives if it works properly.
2 ★ The ability to adjust the settings has disappeared. I have a Galaxy Tab a running on Android 6 marshmallow. I didn't like the disappearing settings button that was in the lower right corner it needs to be a permanent fixture or all other Android programs have it in the upper right or upper left corner. Please fix this thank you
1 ★ Used to work fine more than a year ago. Always been on android. Now there is no search the app is rubbish. Shame it is no longer the app is started out to be. Must have taken all the money and never reinvested in development. Shame
1 ★ Was great on iOS, avoid at all costs on Android. Nothing visible if you soon out, zoom in to see ships, but no legend and labels so small they're absolutely illegible.
1 ★ Useless app. Does not show ships even in paid version. Waste of money. Do not install and pay for this stupid app. Crap it is.
1 ★ This apps is rubbish not like the one you can download on Apple Iphone or Ipads. its very slow at up dating no satalite viewing either the shipping expoler app is better then this and that is free
2 ★ Used to be great on ios but android version is useless, even the paid version. Stick to MarineTraffic its ten times the program. Hard to believe this is produced by same people as the excellent Planefinder
4 ★ Does what it says it does. The app uses Google maps as the background map which is a bit of a surprise as they have changed nothing about the way it looks at all. However , there is nothing wrong with Google maps of course and is well known for it's accuracy. When the app is first launched , even using a fast Wi-Fi connection, little ships icons takes around ten to twenty seconds to populate the map in the given area which is a bit slow. Once it does though, different coloured icons indicate different categories and statuses of vessels. Navigation beacons and are also shown. The information updates automatically in real time so you can actually watch the progress of a vessel across the map. Touching the icon of a ship brings up an information pane giving facts and figures about it as well as destination and expected arrival time where applicable. Fascinating even for people like myself who have an interest it boats and ships and often watch them from the shore wondering what they are doing and where they are going to. This app will answer your curiosity. It's not as bad as some previous reviews suggest in my opinion, but it could be quite a bit better with an improved interface.
2 ★ A lot slower than the marine traffic app. Sometimes it can take several minutes to get the ships on the map even when on a high speed wifi link
2 ★ This is 3rd time paid for this app when it first came out worked great. Now the last two times on android works first time then stops completly waste of money.
1 ★ Suck and lack all the feature of iOS app like AR mode and others. Loads bad too.
1 ★ This app really waste of time to download. Marine traffic is the only one app which is little bit accurate.
