Very similar to the website, with all the same issues
By Minkette6 (Pcmac user)
I downloaded this app because I was having trouble accessing all the features of the browser site on my iPad. Turns out that they're basically just the same thing--no adjustments or improvements have been made to make the app more mobile-compatible and user-friendly than the website. I still have lots of trouble scrolling, still can't view full shark profiles, still find it irksome to zoom in and out, still find the whole thing a pain to navigate. I feel a bit cheated--there really is hardly any difference at all between the mobile site and the app, so why did I even download it? Nonetheless, I'm leaving on another star because the idea of engaging the public with shark science and conservation in this manner is a great idea. I hope the developers tinker with it some more to make that kind of knowledge even more accessible.

Thank you for the great work you are doing... but
By Mama/Hunni Maria (Pcmac user)
My Children, grandchildren and I have enjoyed tracking sharks, turtles & sea lions all summer. We’ve loved learning about your work and all you are doing for our oceans.. However it’s disappointing when we want to see who’s popped up & where but can’t and are subject to a host of problems. We use a simple iPad. Your App has been a great learning tool for the little ones. They’ve picked out their favorite animals but are very disappointed when they can’t “check on them”! I installed google earth as advised to help with this problem.. it’s a best a hit or miss. I’d be glad to pay a small fee for a working app because our family have found it to be so interesting. Again thanks for all you are doing for our oceans creatures. Looking forward to fixes ;)

ATTENTION:
By Reallyy angry pperson (Pcmac user)
This is a really freaking great idea for an app but it's done all wrong. Why would I want to know where random sharks are in the ocean. I want to get to know the sharks. I want to know where they have been, I want to know their history, who tagged them, what type of shark they are, how big they are. All this info or at least as much info as is know about these sharks, which must be a decent amount if they were tagged needs to be available when you click on the shark. Also I am trying to see who the two shark near Naples Florida right now are, and I can't because you can tap a shark on a map and be told where who they are. In order to figure out who those sharks are I would have to click on EVERY SINGLE SHARK one shark at a time just just to figure out who they are. This is a simple and obvious feature that anybody would know is necessary on an app like this. PLEASE FIX IT NOW. OMG

Awesome app needs work!
By Teacher321 (Pcmac user)
Can you please update your APP to be as informative as your web page?
My students are greatly interested in keeping up with your studies of the ocean's top predator. Using the APP is easier for us to use but needs a big update.
There are many mistakes in the APP. For instance, Marylee and Katherine among a few, were not both tagged Jan 1, 1715. "The the app Vessel "did not surface long enough to get an accurate position." would always be incorrect.
Can you add in the APP a way to search by type of shark and a create a favorites list with their data? Can this be printable?
In the APP can the tracks of sharks be easier to read? Such as position of capture, where they spent their time by season, any correlation to be in certain places?
Can there be regular updates or yearly summaries of what you've learned about each shark?
Do you have enough data to predict future movements?
Did tropical storm Anna cause several Great Whites to swim away from the Ga to NC areas or were they following prey that were fleeing the storm?
