Pros and cons of Dorsal Shark Reports app for iPhone and iPad

Dorsal Shark Reports app good for

My first stop before deciding where/when to hit the water! Thank you for existing!
This is a pier driven app so I would guess that it depends on where you live how accurate it is. On the plus side Dorsal does site who made the sighting. Thank you Specialized Helicopters for covering the Santa Cruz area.
An easy and effective way to share shark sightings! The Dorsal team is very responsive and friendly!
since I apparently live in a densely shark populated area, this app is very helpful if and when I decide to venture to the beach!
Great app, super easy to use, we need to get more people using it!!!
Easy to use app. I surf and feel much better knowing where the sharks have been sighted. I like that the sightings are verified by trustworthy people.

Some bad moments

Couldnt sign up. Not with two emails not Fb account. No contact info available...
It was a great app until it was last updated and it logs you out in the process. So unless you have stored your password somewhere, its impossible to log back in. Theres no option to reset your password. Please fix!
Super useful, tks for creating this, more than an app it saves surfers!
