Hi there! I understand you're having trouble with vessels not showing in the FindShip app. To better assist you, could you please let me know a bit more about what's happening? For example, are all vessels missing, or just specific ones? Also, is the app not loading at all, or do you see a map but no vessel markers? And have you tried any steps so far like restarting the app or checking your internet connection?

This info will help me guide you through the best solution. Looking forward to your reply!

River trade vessels not show

Thanks for the info! So the issue is specifically that river trade vessels are not showing up in the FindShip app on your Android device.

Let's try a few things to get those vessels appearing properly:

1. Check Internet Connection
Ensure your device has a stable internet connection. Vessel data requires good connectivity to update in real time.

2. Update or Restart the App
Since you have Android 10 with a WebKit browser, and the FindShip app availability is sometimes spotty on Android, try closing and reopening the app or your browser. If you have it installed as an app, check for updates or consider reinstalling to make sure you have the latest version.

3. Search Filter Settings
Some vessel tracking apps filter vessels by type. Check the filters or settings inside FindShip to make sure river trade vessels are not excluded. Enable all vessel categories or specifically "river trade" if that option exists.

4. Coverage and Data Sources
River vessel tracking can sometimes be limited by AIS receiver coverage in certain locations. If you are in an area with less AIS station coverage, river vessels might not show. Unfortunately, this is a common issue with ship tracking apps relying on AIS data.3

5. Try Alternative Services
If FindShip is not showing river vessels for your location or situation, you might try alternatives like ShipFinder or ais.boatnerd.com, which sometimes have different or broader vessel data sources.45

Could you first confirm if you are using the FindShip app or accessing it through a browser? Also, please check if internet connectivity is stable and whether you see other vessel types on your map. This info will help me guide you better!

no show vessel

Hi again! Thanks for your patience. From what I’ve found, the FindShip app has had some ongoing issues with vessel display and availability. Some users have reported that the app is no longer active or available on the Google Play Store, which could explain why river trade vessels or any vessels might not be showing up for you1.

Here are some steps you can try to confirm and work around this:

1. Check App Availability:
Open the Google Play Store on your Android 10 device and search for "FindShip." If it doesn't appear or says unavailable, this means the app is inactive or removed.

2. Use the Web Version or Alternatives:
If the app is inactive, the web version might still work via your browser, or you may want to try alternative apps like VesselFinder or ShipFinder, which are known to have active vessel tracking and support real-time AIS data10.

3. Update or Reinstall:
If you do still have the FindShip app installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling it from the Play Store, but if it’s absent in the store, this likely isn’t an option.

4. Check Internet & Permissions:
Ensure your browser or app has location and internet permissions enabled. Sometimes vessels won’t show if the app cannot access necessary data.

5. Alternative Vessel Trackers:
For river vessels, try apps with broader AIS coverage since river traffic data can sometimes be limited in FindShip. VesselFinder and MarineTraffic are popular choices.

Given this, it seems the FindShip app might not be fully operational on your device anymore. Testing an alternative app may be the quickest fix to get vessel tracking back.

Would you like me to help you find and set up a reliable alternative app for vessel tracking on your Android 10 device? Let me know!

Are you satisfied with this solution so far?
