SPOT tags are used to provide near real-time tracking data for an average of 5 years. Each time the animal’s tag breaks the surface of the water, it signals a satellite to create a ‘ping’ on the tracker for YOU to see. Data is used by the scientific community to help with: • Research • Conservation • Policy • Management • Safety • Education We created this app to engage YOU in shark and marine conservation efforts by providing real-time tracking data on ocean animals. Our goal is to empower YOU to connect with the ocean, learn about marine life, and support vital marine science through interactive, accessible technology. Thank you for your interest and support. We couldn't conduct this critical ocean research without you. If you love our app, please consider supporting us by leaving a rating and review, or by sharing it with your friends.

Probably the most user unfriendly app I have ever tried.

wheres my music· 2025-12-19
★★★★Good but.🇺🇸 US

This app is good but when ever I try to go on the thing where you can chose to show different animals it won’t let me so please fix this bug

Second best game in history· 2025-10-16
★★★★stop forcing accounts🇺🇸 US

i updated and now i can’t use the app without being forced to make an account. there is no reason for me to share my data for something silly like this. i enjoyed the idea but its no where near worth me making an account and dealing with the eventual data breach

El quatro da bosssss· 2025-09-13
★★★★★So encouraging🇺🇸 US

Ever since I have again found my passion for ocean life and sharks, I have found a deep passion in ocearch and its mission statement of protecting great white sharks and other marine life from extinction. Today we must remember and respect to keep our oceans clean and the aspects of ocean life!!!!

★★★★Don’t reduce the app’s usefulness then force me to upgrade🇺🇸 US

Hmmm it was a great app then they basically removed features and hit you with a $29 upgrade to get them back. Like a cheesy bait and switch.

catcom· 2025-08-05
★★★★Boo🇺🇸 US

I’m not giving you all of personal information to sell to use a shark tracker. Shouldn’t need to create a password to track sharks
