Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 57 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people found the app and its user experience significantly worsened after recent updates, becoming difficult to use and losing its professional quality. Customers reported the new version is clunky, lacks essential features, and often does not function as expected, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and intentions to switch to alternatives. However, some customers mentioned the app was previously excellent, professional, clear, and easy to use for many years. They had enjoyed the older version, finding it very useful and reliable before the changes. This contrast highlights the disappointment caused by the recent upgrade, which many feel destroyed a once well-regarded tool.

Dreadful latest update What on earth have you done to the app…

What on earth have you done to the app !!??? The latest update is awful with a capital AW . The old version was 10 times better and more user friendly. New one doesnt show the variable speeds the boats do . Also my fleet section is full with only 15 vessels and I’m unable to add more . Woeful woeful update the worst ever . PLEASE let us have the old version back 🙏🏻 . I am presently searching for a different ship tracker and there’s a few about then I’m cancelling my subscription

Very Disappointing

Used this app for many years. Nice marine style layout, easy to work with and obtain details. The latest update is a total disaster also posted by many on other download sites. A very poor standard response from the provider who claims that the app is still undergoing development. Why they even released a BETA at this stage goes beyond my way of thinking. Time to reconsider and roll things back would be best or it will be your loss!

Disappointed

I previously gave this app a 5 star rating, but the new upgrade is terrible and in my opinion unusable which is a pity, as I enjoyed the previous version of the app.

A great website destroyed.

What used to be a brilliant live shipping website has been completely destroyed by a greedy profit-driven company.

The whole look of the website is awful now.

kpler have alienated thousands of previous users and sadly I can’t see the website surviving.

I'm with Marine Traffic for years

I'm with Marine Traffic for years, this is a part of my job to check vessel status from ETD to ETA daily. As a commercial manager, I'm enjoying its service nicely. Many thanks to the team who is giving labor to make and manage this.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

THE PAID SUBSCRIPTION IS COMPLELEY USELESS.
IT STATES PAID MONTHY BUT THEN BILLS YOU IN ONE PAYMENT. I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO GET A REFUND AFTER €1,000 WAS TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT TODAY.
