Ratings and Reviews
Labeled map option?
This app is simple and straightforward. It’s pretty easy to use. It’s interesting and useful to see where sharks have been sighted. That said, I don’t see any way to switch to a labeled map. The app uses an unmarked satellite map. If you are a geography wiz or otherwise very familiar with maps and/or the area you may know at a glance what town and beach you are looking at. I found myself cross referencing another map to see where the sightings were.
Awesome
We go to Cape Cod every summer (we’ve been doing so for the past 11 years, do check out Wellfleet!), and sharks are always a concern, especially for my aunt. This app is great for staying on top of all the sharktivity (hehe) happening in the area, and even helps us time when we go to the beach so that we can actually swim when we get there! (You can’t go in the water 1 hour after being pulled out of the ocean due to a shark) Highly recommend!!!!
Could use improvements…
The push notifications seem to be very hit or miss… I download this app a week or so ago and yesterday was the first time getting notifications. One more today but not all sightings come through, including one from one of our local beaches yesterday. Also would be good to have distance shown in notifications. And on the map would be nice to have some sort of indicator as to the most recent sightings … maybe numbered icons as an option?
