No sightings
Thanks for replying, you are right & I was too early in the season & no one had yet added any sightings! I am having trouble getting into my account to log sightings but I guess eventually I will figure it out.

Description
Welcome to WhaleWatch – a global community powered Whale sightings platform.
Originating in Australia over a decade ago, we've embarked on this journey once more in response to popular demand. However, this time, it extends beyond Australia's borders. It's no longer just for Australians to observe, post, and share their encounters with the majestic creatures of our remarkable planet; it's for the world to embrace.
Whale migration, one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena, is a remarkable journey undertaken by various species of whales across vast stretches of ocean. Spanning thousands of miles annually, these migrations serve essential purposes such as breeding, feeding, and avoiding harsh environmental conditions. Some species, like the humpback whale, travel from their feeding grounds in polar regions to warmer waters near the equator to give birth and mate, while others, like the gray whale, undertake epic journeys from Arctic waters to the warmer waters of the Pacific coast of Mexico. These migrations are not only crucial for the survival of whale populations but also play a significant role in maintaining the health and balance of marine ecosystems worldwide.
VIEW, POST AND SHARE – WHALE SIGHTINGS
View the interactive Whale sightings map. You can view and post your whale sightings on the WhaleWatch app for the wider whale watching enthusiasts. Note behaviours, characteristics, species and upload photos to get your sightings published. Note that we may restrict what appears on the app if there are too many. For example; one tour boat carrying 50+ can create a lot of sightings which are similar so we moderate the platform for a better user experience.
WHALE WATCH – GALLERY
Seen it breach or slap? Or, did you see a mother and calf combo on your tour. Be sure to post your photo for it to be available on the app.
SIGN UP IS NOT A MUST. JUST ENJOY THE APP
We ONLY request you to sign up and create an account if you are keen to submit your sightings and photos to the gallery. If not, there is no sign up required. Just enjoy the app.
RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS
Be reminded of sightings, whale facts and tips. Recommend to keep your notifications on so you don’t miss out on information about upcoming Whale seasons and useful information.

Date filter
Appreciate this may not be new, but a date filter on the map view would be a game changer.

Poor functionality
How do you search recent reports? Always the same tags are shown? No filter options.
Updated comment based on latest app update. yes it has improved however my suggestion to make it more useful based on an app that used to be out there before for the same thing so I’m only copying pasting ideas… P.S. not sure what happened to the old app…
1. Filter options should have recent sighting as in last day and seperate for older sighting so people know what’s relevant.
2. Currently There is a search option with a drop down list, but coordinates is all you get when you click on it not very practical for most people using this for sight seeing. Should take you to the map to see where the sighting was.
Apart from that keep up the good work 🙂

Great App Growing day by day
Finally someone has recreated a whale spotting app that works. As a first version it is good and I hear they will add Timestamps this week which will make it GREAT! Then everyone just needs to start reporting accurately.

Please add day and time of sighting
Great app but I want to know WHEN the whales were seen please!
2024-05-22
Date and time
Please please please add a date and time feature to this!! It would make it so much easier to try and find whales if we knew how recent the sighting was!

Whale watch
Nice app but must include date
2024-05-02
Include date?
App is easy to navigate but doesn't include the date the whales are spotted, maybe this can be included?

What every whale watcher needs!!
A fantastic app full of great info for both seasoned and occasional whale watchers. Being able to add to whale sightings (including where, how many and what behaviours were see ) makes this a fun, interactive app that the kids can get onboard with too! Love the addition of tour providers. Bring on whale season! 🐋
