Sharktivity by AWSC App Reviews

Updated app has a lot of nice features.

As someone who grew up summering on the Cape, I’ve witnessed the influx of sharks over the last several years. Being able to see shark sightings through this app is so cool! Love the work AWSC is doing in the community and appreciate that the data is publicly available for all of us ocean lovers. Clicking in to different sharks in the area to see their recent sightings and corresponding photos is one of my favorite, unexpected features. I know I’ll be opening this app a lot this summer!

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?

A super informative app, with up to the minute notifications, all with great attention to accuracy. Because the sharks are tagged and you know where they are, they become fascinating as opposed to fearsome, and their names are truly hilarious. I’m grateful.

I like this app because I love the beach but I’m SO ducking AFRAID OF SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I kinda freak out when clicking the buttons😅😅. I live MASS which is connected to cape cod🙂 BUT there’s SO SO SO SO SO MANY SHARKS THERE. I Don’t actually use this app anymore b/c I got so scared clicking the shark buttons😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Every year I open the app it shows the same sharks in the same places. So I decided to open it on February 1st and it showed the same sharks in the same places

This app used to be one of my favorites, every spring, tracking all the sharks and sightings. But this year it is just a collection of photographs of dead seals. They need to either restrict dead seal sightings altogether (because they're not sharks) or create a category when you log a sighting that it is in fact, a dead seal. Until they focus back on actual shark sightings, I'm taking a break.
