Nouveautés (v15)
Version 15 brings a completely redesigned experience from the moment you open the app.
New Onboarding Flow
We rebuilt the entire onboarding experience from the ground up. New users are now guided through an animated feature tour that showcases the app's key features — live whale map, proximity alerts, following individual whales, migration routes, Captain Mode, and the species guide — before diving in.
Animated Feature Tour
Each step of the new feature tour features dynamic color-shifting backgrounds, bouncy icon animations, floating emoji, and swipe gesture navigation. It's fast, visual, and actually fun to go through.
Smarter Whale Alerts
Proximity alerts are faster and more reliable. You'll now get notified sooner when whales are spotted near your location, with improved accuracy across all supported species.
Captain Mode Updates
Captain Mode has been refined for marine operators. The risk panel and heading-up chart load faster and display more clearly in varying light conditions on the water.
Follow Individual Whales
Improvements to the whale following system mean you'll receive push notifications more reliably when a whale you're tracking is spotted again — whether it's a J-pod orca or a PCFG gray whale.
Migration Routes
The migration route layer on the live map has been updated with the latest corridor data across all supported species and regions.
Bug Fixes & Performance
Significant under-the-hood improvements for faster load times, smoother map interactions, and better battery efficiency.
Thank you for using Whale Tracker — happy spotting!
