Whale Alert

I neglected to download this app before due to the bad reviews, but those were from a year ago and the app has updated since then. So far it has worked smoothly in all aspects, the only thing is that so many whale watchers do not report on here and instead report to Facebook or through email newsletters and WhatsApp groups. I hope we can have more accurate reports on here in the near future, particularly in Washington. To the app developers, Thank you!

First: so appreciative for this free app. The data is uses is great, as is the ability to report through it. I’ve used it to stay aware of whales I’ve come across in the Puget Sound. After the most recent update, it seems the API call to get the whale sightings is blocking. You can’t do anything with the app on the first 15-30 seconds and when you try to move the map it freezes. A feature that allows you to filter by species or time seen would be great!

The new updates have made the app less user friendly as a person that enjoys seeing where whales are, when they were there, and photos of them where they were reported. Now all we see is a grey unconfirmed alert for about a day, and many times it will give error messages that data is unavailable. I think more filters for whale types and 1 day option would be useful. Please bring back the previous functionality.
