Description

Been using the OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you follow the real-time movements of sharks, turtles, and other marine animals around the world. Pretty cool if you’re into this kind of stuff.

Here’s what you do – you can explore the maps and see where different animals are located. And there’s also a bunch of profiles with info on each animal, like their history, facts, and stuff. And you can get alerts when the animals move to new spots, which is a nice feature.

Look, if you’re into ocean conservation and learning about cool sea creatures, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – there are some ads that can get annoying – but overall it’s a pretty solid way to dive into the world of sharks and turtles. Worth checking out if that’s your thing.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on the OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ app. I've tested a bunch of nature/wildlife apps and this one is one of the better ones. The real-time tracking is really impressive and the animal profiles are super interesting. It's not super in-depth or anything, but it's a great way to casually explore and learn about these animals. The only real downsides are the occasional annoying ads and the fact that it can get a little repetitive after a while. But overall, if you're into sharks, turtles, and ocean conservation, this is a pretty cool app to have.

Used to be free and informative. Not so great anymore. Disappointing.

It's a really good app and I haven't experienced any bugs. This said the app versus the website has very little sharks shown. If you go on to the website...

Update now locks you out of features, obnoxiously forcing a bright white popup over a dark screen when you click on features you used to have access to, like simply...
