Expedition White Shark App Reviews

The description fails to mention that this is for a one year subscription. They should have stated that up front. The display on the iPhone is very small as well. Finally, the iPad version has the exact same name, so make sure your getting the right one for your idevice. I first purchased the iPad version, thinking it would be load able onto my iPhone as well. It wasn't. It didn't show up as being available for my iPhone when I synced it to iTunes. They should have named Expedition White Shark HD like many of the the other apps do. I so wanted to give a good review, but not stating up front that this is a one-year subscription, and the hard to view Display for the iPhone prevented that. Deception does not fit well with such a worthy endeavor.

Total scam, nothing is updated and I was stoked to learn their live locations . I want my $4 back, this is lame. Don't waist your money.

You guys are dumb. In yellow letters in the terms and conditions that YOU check yes for, explains the subscription and the info about it. Stop complaining. The only think I don't like is that one of the sharks tagged, was not a great white: it was a tiger shark. The fact that this shark was called a great white is very misleading.

I enjoy checking out the shark locations daily but they don't seem to move much and then suddenly they are somewhere different or disappear. Today a great white kimmel I noticed was swimming on land in Mexico but earlier today was in the Pacific Ocean. Hmmmm. great app idea tho just wish it worked better

This app is horrible. It is so small of font that it is illegible. A total waste of money. I wanted to actually track the sharks not play a game or go blind trying to read. I even got a magnifying glass and still could not make anything out. Waste of money.

It is a good app however it is slow and crashes a ton

This is absolutely a great app. I love great whites and shark week so this app is probably the best thing on my phone!

I just read the last review and was equally upset by the subscription aspect of the app. I was unaware of this as well. I absolutely love this application and can't wait for future updates. Hopefully it will include the exclusion of a subscription requirement.

Old info, sharks never move....save your money

I love sharks, and have ever since I was like 1. It is the coolest thing in the world to be able to track live great whites. I wish I had found out about this earlier. Definitely worth the price. Get it!

I installed the app to watch movement of great white sharks, not makos

Great app to see where the shirts are hanging out. It’s very interesting, and you can see what is going on during the different persevere with the sharks. They need to tag more sharks.

There is NOTHING on the entire Atlantic side except the migration track of a tiger shark from 2012. Six years ago! Nothing else. The Pacific side shows more sharks, but only minimal information and a migration track for each. This cost $4...a rip-off.

This app is a total rip off and the makers should be ashamed. Not one of the sharks on here has been actively tracked for weeks. What a disappointment!!!!

This app is crap !! Shows the same shark in the same location for months. Not real time or accurate .

Appears to be tracking only a handful of sharks, mostly off the coast of Southern California. Not much to see. With so little content, this should be a free app, if even that.

Not updated regularly. Stagnant. Info is years old. Not worth $3.99.- more like .99cents, if that. Could probably find most of this info on google.

I didn't have to buy it since I downloaded it during shark week. I would've never pay for it since nothing is updated true to date and time.

It was fun at first but after I went through everything it was useless. Not worth $3.99

Only 2 sharks to track. Not worth the cost!!

Worst app ever just exits you out of the app while you are looking at it😡😤💩

Great cause. Great app. These majestic animals need all the protection and positive press available.

This app doesn't work on my iPhone 5. I've been trying for days on different wifi accounts and it still says it has no Internet connection. Very disappointed. I really hope they fix it soon. I've heard we already had a tagged shark sighting in cape cod and I can't look at it :(

The sharks don't seem to move much. So it's hard to tell if this app is BS or the real deal. I mean, who's going to call these guys out and say "no the shark really isn't in that exact spot". But whatever, I guess we just have to take their word for it. I've had the app for almost a week and the sharks have all been in the same exact place. #sharkweek

Pretty cool app but not worth the money

I spent the money cos I figured it helps a good cause. Thus, it doesn't matter so much that this app isn't very good; perhaps it is better on a desktop. 2 stars but for the good cause.

What a rip. Once you buy it, they tell you it only lasts for a year. That should get them banned from the app store! I want my money back for that misrepresentation of the 3.99 app. I like the app concept, but it doesn't translate well to the small UI. There is no tracking data clearly defined for each shark or drill down in a location for shark activity over an extended period for surfers or divers who are looking for trends. I support the cause but I'm not ok with the app rental BS. Needs work. Gets boring fast.

I downloaded this a month ago and haven't seen ANY shark tracking on the west coast. This app is a waste of money, can't wait for it to expire! All the other "educational" info could be found by googling white shark, or by looking up the shark research committee. Did I say it was a waste of money???

Most apps for the iPhone are games and this is the first app about sharks that is actual informative and fun. Not only does it track great whites, but it gives you a bio, pics, videos, history of cots locations and has a game too! At $4 it's under priced and fun for any person!

Cool app. Cool concept. Not worth 4 bucks. Sharks don't seem to move much, but you can view their profiles and history of shark attacks which is interesting. Overall it's ehhh.

I do enjoy this app quite a lot but I do have a question. Why is Apache in the middle of Washington state? Haha

It gets boring fast and it appears all of the great white sharks have lost their signals. However, I do like that they added tiger sharks. I'm tired of seeing the reviews wanting more shark attack stuff. There are hundreds of thousands of dog bites every year and only less than one hundred shark bites so, what is the obsession? Is it because their teeth are bigger? This app is to fund shark research, not further vilify creatures that already have a bad rap thanks to stupid humans. Anyway, because I know the money went to a good cause, I didn't mind spending $4 on the app but the app itself is not worth $4 if that makes sense.

Okay this app is awsome but I have one problem it puts me back to the menu I love shark week

I came here because shark week brought me here

Would be better if this app didn't constantly crash. Not worth the $4, IMO.

It would be ok if I could just open the app and use it.

Love this app. one improvement might be to be able to monitor the sharks, without the attack icons on the map.

Do not buy this.

Complete ripoff. Most of the sharks positions on the tracker haven't been updated in months or even years.

I live in Los Angeles so it’s a lot of fun to keep up with my local sharks. I just purchased it and receive lots of daily pings, which is teaching me a lot about local shark migration patterns. So much fun and inspires me to learn more about science and sharks....appreciate an app that expands my mind and connects me with the ocean.

One of the cooler marine biology apps you'll find. Can track great whites and check out their profiles.

Not a lot of sharks being tracked, but when more sharks are added this app will be amazing!

Love sharks, but this shows locations from sharks some of them from upwards of 5 years ago. Definitely a pretty shoddy app. Wish I didn’t pay for it and instead just donated to a Shark conservation agency.

First I want to say, Its fantastic what this organization and its people are doing. I wanted to support the app creator and wanted to learn about their lives because it looked like it could potentially could be exciting. However this app is not swimming in that direction. It is basically all static images with no animation, no video, no interviews, no pictures of the sharks being actually tagged by the marine biologist? This is not a 4 dollar app but 99 cents for what it currently is. Overall its map with shark fins on it that show you info about the shark and its location and some other stuff that will frenzy you into lack of interest; for me that was within 4 minutes. I commend the app programmer for doing this but please think of the people that buy it. They want to be excited and be pulled into the oceans and sharks and its people that are part of it.
