I purchased this app. for my iPhone last year, when I was in the process of buying a boat. It seemed to work good, as a search of the HIN I entered returned the former owner’s name. I completed the title transfer in WA. state before the end of July, 2020. For kicks, I searched my HIN today, over a year later. It still lists the former owner’s name! The app. may be good, but the author is not pulling updated data to reflect transfers in ownership. For that reason, I deduct two stars, giving it a “meh” rating. ================================ 2022-01-16: This is a reply to a recently entered developer reply. You wrote: “I am not sure exactly what this review is referring to. HINSearch does NOT provide any boat ownership or registration info.” Run a search for HIN BL1G54CKB787. Scroll towards the bottom of the page, where you will see the following: “Owner/Contact Name: Keith Mitchell Phone: 5078255851” How can you claim that HINSearch does NOT provide any boat ownership or registration info? Hint: I am the legal owner, since July 20, 2020, but my name is NOT Keith Mitchell. Perhaps Keith was a first owner? I don’t know. If this is a situation where you are pulling stale information from a state database, perhaps it is best to not show it.

This app is a robbery. Information it provides is free online. Please issue refund

Bought this app expecting to decode HIN’s and find out model of boat, not just manufacturer information. That is useful, but really want model ID.

This app did nothing for me. Told me no new info that I could have just googled. Waste of money.

Would be great if you could print the screen read out

Shame on them for praying on users at 4.99 just to tell the manufacturers name and business info. That’s why the web was created to begin with. No model or make or even build info. Not worth the money.

I just inherited a boat from my grandfather, I have the HIN directly from the boat but can’t get any information. Disappointing.

This app does not show you the present owner. It only shows who built it. So this is basically useless....I wish I could get my money back

I can't believe I paid for this app. It only told me the manufacturer of my boat which I already knew. The reviews were good so I downloaded it. I instantly regret it. This app should be free

I am a marine surveyor and love this app, very easy to use and has useful info.
