The intuitive design combined with incredible performance puts you in control. Watch in full screen, view in AR, search, add filters and so much more!\n\nShip Finder has been top rated and top ranking since 2009 and covers most of the world, tracking 20,000+ ships simultaneously.\n\nOur incredible app performance means that you can see all tracked vessels at once - no clustering here!\nSimply tap a ship to see its name, type, photos, speed, dimensions and much more.\nPowerful features such as filters, search and the ability to save favourite ships are included. (You can choose Apple or Google maps too!).\n\nAdd and browse bookmarks to saved locations around the globe to quickly navigate to areas or ports of interest.\n\nYou can even use Augmented Reality (AR) view to identify ships out at sea using your device camera. \n\nShip Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly by smaller pleasure craft and yachts. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used by vessels for safety and navigation.\n\nShip Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are. Ship Finder is also used extensively by maritime professionals and mariners.\n\nOur global AIS coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time as we add new AIS feeds and receivers. Please check www.shipfinder.co regularly to see the latest coverage.\n\nPinkfroot are committed to customer service and continually improve our Ship Finder apps based on feedback. Why not join our online community at www.pinkfroot.com or if you have any questions please email us via support@pinkfroot.com and we’ll be happy to help. \n\nDisclaimer: Ship Finder should not be used for navigational purposes. \nUnder no circumstances will the developer of this application be held responsible for incidents resulting from the use of the data or its interpretation.","facts":{"developer_id":319726822,"developer_url":"http://www.pinkfroot.com","first_released":"2010-04-01T20:59:01Z","support_url":"http://www.pinkfroot.com/","privacy_url":"https://planefinder.net/about/privacy-policy/","website_url":"http://www.pinkfroot.com/","app_version":"9.2.2","release_notes":"Support for new iPad Pro devices","rating_current_version":4.24061,"rating_count_current_version":3915,"star_counts":[472,98,164,463,2714],"genres":["Navigation","Travel"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":{"name":"top-paid Navigation","position":20}},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-03T07:06:12.712Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-25T18:39:13.139Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-22T10:24:13.109Z","placed_at":"2026-10-18T05:08:11.793Z","scored_at":"2026-11-03T11:58:12.788Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Shows live moving ships on a worldwide map using AIS feeds, with search, filters, bookmarks and an AR view.","what_is":"Ship Finder displays live moving ships on a worldwide map, with the listing stating it can show all tracked vessels at once and lets users tap a ship to see its name, type, photos, speed and dimensions.
