Pros and cons of OCEARCH Shark Tracker app for iPhone and iPad

OCEARCH Shark Tracker app good for

Hey love this app!!! Why not make one for orcas and Dolphins?!!! Love it
I love this app and would rate 5 stars, but there is one little problem, I cant scroll down on the menu that shows the sharks. Would be a phenomenal app if this was fixed.
The tag dates are never correct. I assume its some sort of glitch but you figure theyd have fixed it by now.
Love the App!! The only improvement that I would recommend is on the map page. In the map view it shows all the sharks that are being track with an orange dot or blue dot. Instead a having to go to the shark page to see the name of the shark I should be able to touch the orange dot on the map view and it will pull it up!!
I Love the app. However I would love to have more information for example what kind of shark it is or like a shark profile. And it would also be awesome to favorite sharks so you can get notifications when they ping so you can actually track them. Great app but would love to see more
I used to check on Big Kahuna all the time but my phone broke and I forgot to download this app until today. The only complaint I have is why did you guys take down their profiles? They had to have pictures and videos and a little bio. But now they have nothing but just the graph of their pings? Lame. Also, the app is being VERY slow and VERY glitchy.

Some bad moments

Its a neat app but the shark profiles have no information. Id like to know what type of shark it is, not just a random name its been given like "Thomas"
Really this app needs development. Its pretty unusable. The potential is there for quite the exciting app. But this thing is just awful.
The interface is nearly impossible to navigate on mobile. Also, some of the pings are showing sharks on land... with no explanation. Disappointingly small number of recent pings as well. Needs more recent data.
Have deleted for the final time. Hoping you would remedy failure to scroll but did not. My iPhone works great my iPad nada.
I was able to open this app only once. Since then its frozen and I cant delete it. Ive rebooted the iPhone several times and its still there
The UI on this app is horrible. Simple stuff like scrolling is impossible. Zooming is frustrating. Please wipe the slate clean and start over.
