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? 😞

The app has become much worse than before. I really don’t like the recent updates. It has become slower and whenever I tap on a ship to view its information it takes much longer to open. The new map colors are also uncomfortable and not visually appealing. The thing that made me dislike this app the most is that in previous versions you could view some ship information for free such as the ship’s length beam width draft and gross tonnage. There were also free features like tracking the ship

The map switches back from satellite to simple every time I close the app. My fleed is no longer displayed on the map, neither is wind or wave height. Basically nothing I have paid for works anymore. Since I'm not going pro for the hefty subscription fee they're asking, it's time to look for some other service. The recent update turned a working app into rubbish.
