Reviews for OCEARCH Shark Tracker™

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

A great app but the comments added a very fun element to it and I don't use the app as much now that they are gone. I agree with other comments, add a filter or an option to turn them on and off. I miss seeing everyone 'interact' with the sharks and cheer them on!

Had this app installed for less than 10 min, and it crashed half a dozen times. Also, website and app do not match tracking information even remotely. Need some serious work. Cool concept, as I live on the Gulf, and would find the tracking interesting, but the app is completely worthless.

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 there are far more sharks around you compared to the app and I think it would be a five out of five if the had all that they have on the website on the app because the app seems smoother to use.

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 viewing additional shark photos. Tons of things all over the screen that are unnecessary. Peeved I updated. On the verge of deleting because of this money grab attitude because now I never want to use it. This is not how you get sponsorship. Also mislabeling major body of water to a not real name? What other information is wrong??

I reallyy like the app overall. The photos of the sharks makes you get to know each individual more personally, and each shark's track makes you learn more about their behaviour. I'm amazed at how we can now observe the sharks so closely now, and I think that you should give the app a chance if you're a shark lover 🦈🦈

After trying the first time and having nothing load, I recieved a message to try again. I redownload the app and it works perfectly. My 10 yr old son and I spent a good hr looking at all the different sharks and sealife tagged. He went and downloaded it as well. We had fun seeing where the sharks all swim!! Growing up I was obsessed with sharks, I hope this peaks an interest in him as well!

Great app but it needs more personalization. Make it to where we can favorite or follow the animals individually, and add an option for push notifications for pings of the animals you follow or favorite. Ive also noticed the use of the same photo for multiple sharks. I may have david, while someone else has, (for example rosco) yet both profiles display the same image, if there is time to input david into the system there is time to include the correct photos.

Only issues I have are: 1. Some of 5he icons are grouped so closely together or on top of each other - which makes clicking on individual sharks tricky at times. 2. Some sharks (Katherine, George) have disappeared from the data base. Probably due to age of tracking equipment, but an explanation would be nice.

The app is a great concept and it's interesting and an important tool for the environment. However the data and filtering of data is in catagories that are of no use. Instead of separating data between location and last ping, I would need to see all data aggregated and be able to be filtered either way. Regards swimming we'd want to know location and relevant, latest and timely pings on the maps and same data set. Currently when searching location by map or 'near me', untimely pings are shown
