Interesting, but does it require paid add ons to work?

The one review said you do but I'm just watching Commodore Goodwill visually and on the app. He's doing 9.6k. Working fine. Thanks.
Edit:
Clicking on the ships details gives you name, flag, type (RoRo), Destination, ETA, Course, Speed, last report, Lat Long.
The Pro version gives MMSI, IMO, Callsign, Year of build, GT, DWT, Draught, Length/Beam

You don't want an iPad, you want a Hudl. It must be true as I have read it here countless times

If I believed everything I read on here I would be off with the fairies by now

My son has a job interview on Monday; he is borrowing my iPad to show his portfolio. He has spent all day trying to get the pictures into the order he wants, it can't be done.
An iPad is fine if you want to use it for what Apple think you need to do, otherwise they are carp.

There are a number of these ship finders /vessel locators and they normally have a "Free Subscription" with limited services. I used to be able to track the drill ship, tug(s) refueling vessel, anchor handler etc but now I find the ship's transponder is either switched off or out of range. I don't mess with it anymore

Nice and fast - good find 
Edit: it does not seem to pick up all reports. Have just sent one momentarily using M-ais which shows up on Marinetraffic.com but not on this app. Not sure if it is because it does not display leisure vessels or just the type of self report that mais makes.
