Not always accurate
App indicated bridge was open and available when in fact it was up and a a ship was passing through.Developer Response
Hi there! Unfortunately, the Great Lakes Seaway Website which I take the data from for the app (as stated in the description of the app) saw some downtime the other day. This resulted in the statuses of the bridges being incorrect. This is not a problem on my end, and there is nothing I can do about it as I do not work for the Seaway. Since the Seaway website can be finicky sometimes, I would suggest making sure that you have the most up-to-date data. You can do this by checking the time shown at the bottom of the app. This timestamp shows when the data on my server was fetched at. If the time shown there does not match the time you are checking the app at, I would suggest checking the map implemented in the app. It should show whether there is a boat approaching your bridge of choice.Harry D
Canal bridge app was working fine, now the app won’t open. Starts for a split second then closes. Why? I needed it today.
Update today April 5th. App is working fine now, I really like it.Developer Response
Hi there! Sorry to hear the troubles that this has caused you. There was an issue on my end where a part of the app assumed the Seaway website was always up and reachable, but over the past few days their website has had quite a bit of downtime it seems. I am submitting an update as I am writing this to fix the issue. This will mean that although some bridges might not show up when one of the Seaway pages is down, the app shouldn't immediately crash. Thank you for your continued support in using the app! Hopefully the coming update fixes this issue for you. Please let me know if you have any more issues!Great App
Love this app. Would love for the “time till raising” would be listed as sometimes it says raising soon for over 10 minutes.Developer Response
Hi there, thanks for your review! Unfortunately I am unable to get this data for the St. Catharines bridges. It is not possible with the data the Seaway currently provides. It is available for the Port Colborne bridges, but not for St. Catharines. I've added a map so you can check it and make your own assumptions when the status is "Raising Soon," but I understand that this isn't the ideal solution. I will update the app should the Seaway start providing this data to users!
