Shark app
This app saved my life So I was going to the beach and I check the app and there was a shark where I was going I rate a 5 star review
Not up to date!
Not up to date!
Good not Great
Really good app, however it seems to crash a lot when I check the local pings and notifications. It’s a wonderful idea, love the way it’s set up…if only it didn’t crash every so often it would be perfect!
Excessive ads make it unusable
Not a bad app, but the excessive ads and duration make the free version frustratingly unusable.
Ads are painful
Decent app but the looong unskippable ads for games are unbearable
Awesome
It is excellent- love it
App deleted
Have had dorsal for years. Updating apps yesterday and did my usual check of dorsal this morning. Unusable due to BS ads each time you check a shark report. Not worth downloading 2025.
Geographically Limited
It's a good app so far... But it's unfortunate that it's limited to the US and Australia only.
Too many adds
Great as a concept but the fact I have to wait almost a full minute watching adds to view an alert is not helpful when I think I’ve seen a shark
Too many ads
3 ads in the first 30 seconds before I’ve even had a chance to look at the map
Amazing
Very good would recommend
Embarrassing app.
Used to be a great app. Whenever clicking on an incident, they show you a 30 second ad. After watching the dopey ad for some dumb game, you can see the details of the incident but can’t see the pictures without a subscription.
Excellent concept.
Excellent app. I used it everyday whilst on holidays, down south, with my family. My only comment is that I wish the arial surveillance person would update the app immediately. I think it was almost an hour after.....or maybe it was my internet connection....before the shark report was posted.
Add after add after add
Downloaded this and deleted it within 10 min, half the time was spent watching adds between new screens. Always a $$$ grab too
Potential
There’s room for improvement but it fills a giant gap and I recommend it thou I think you have to have some knowledge yourself to determine how normal a shark spotting in one area can ;compare to another where it’s more unusual. The same for the specie a bull shark and a hammerhead is not the same danger. Rating contributors could be a good idea to determine a credibility. Overall good job and thank you
Great App!
Just need more people to post sightings
Good except for the ads!
I used this app for offshore paddling. It’s been Great but now I can’t open a sighting without an ad appearing. 5 x Palmer United ads in a row, I’m now done with this app.
Rinny
It’s a great app to see shark activity in areas I plan to spearfish in,however size of sharks detected by receiver would be a good feature as currently it doesn’t list it..surely sharks tagged are measured too?
Death by Ads
I used to check this every day, sometimes multiple times a day. Now every single time I click on a report an ad pops up, and often they can’t be clicked out of and redirect me to another webpage. I can’t tolerate it anymore and will just be deleting the app and relying on other social media reports. I understand there are costs which is why developers/companies sell out like this, but I honestly would have been happy to contribute money to keep it ad-free. Oh well.
This is the best app
I always use this app while surfing to track sharks and know where to surf if you are a surfer this is the app for you
Ads everywhere
I understand the need to create revenue but the relentlessness of the ads is mind blowing. Every. Single. Time. You click on a report your highjacked by a full screen ad. It’s a greedy and obtrusive way to operate.
Need an update for iPhoneX
Please update the app for iPhoneX
Lifesaver
You don’t see what’s in the water when you’re on the beach, this app is so helpful and gives you a peace of mind. Always check out the latest reports before going to the beach.
Ads!!!
Ads are just non stop every thing I press on an add pops up, Would not recommend
👍
Great app guys. Only thing is, is every time I scroll down to a sighting and open the link and then go back, it always goes back to the top of the list rather then go back to where you were... Hope that makes sense
Brilliant
Great app, rate it highly
Dorsal
We had multiple official shark sightings in Henley Beach over the last two weeks and none have appeared in Dorsal!
Reliable and accurate.
Great source of information on shark movements. Be educated and respect the ocean and yes even sharks.
Got my money
So - did the right thing and chipped in the annual fee - no updates in WA since 27th dec ?!!!! What is going on ??
Love it
Very handy app I have the paid version and for the price it’s great to see where the sightings have been before I go out kayaking
Great until they introduced ads
This was a great app until the last week or so when ads started appearing on every report I went into. Now unsubscribed.
Good
This app is bangin I can see when the last time someone almost got nom nom nommed by a baby shark doo doo laughing my a** off ha. Ha. Nah fr tho it’s good
Broken
Facebook login returns a server error, new user registration doesn’t send email codes, I guess you aren’t looking for new users to join...
