Raising soon

It would be great if you added how long until the bridge is raised instead of “raising soon”. 😁

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for your review! As much as I would love to make this a feature for the St. Catharines bridges, it is not currently possible with the data the Seaway provides. It is available for the Port Colborne bridges, but not St. Catharines unfortunately. I've attempted to work around this by adding a map so you can make your own judgements when it says "Raising Soon" but understand that this isn't an ideal solution. I will keep check of the website and will update the app should they provide this data!

Garbage

I bought this app yesterday it worked once and since then the status is is unavailable. Don’t waste your money. It’s the second day now and still the status is unavailable

Response from developer

Hi there. For context, I get my data from the official Seaway website. This is explicitly stated in the app description. I do not create the data, I simply take existing data and put it in a nicer, easier to use format. Unfortunately, the Seaway website was down for an extended period of time. I was aware of this issue, and unfortunately there was nothing I could do about it as the problem wasn't with my app or my backend server. Outages like this don't happen regularly though, and I am hoping another one as bad as this doesn't happen again for a while. I encourage any users who regularly use the app to go to Settings, and tap the "Official Seaway Website" button when any issues arise and reach out to me if there are any issues that aren't present on the website. There are ways to contact me provided in the app. As of writing this response, the website has been back up for about two days and the app is once again receiving data. However, if you would still like to get your money back, you may request a refund through Apple.

I am sitting in a long line of traffic at the Glendale Ave canal bridge.
Your app shows the bridge is available

Response from developer

Hi there! Sorry to hear that the app didn’t work out and caused an issue for you. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that the website I take the data from isn’t always provide the correct information. It’s accurate most of the time, but occasionally it doesn’t update. It has been doing this more often than not lately. This also means that, when this happens, my app will provide you the same incorrect information, and unfortunately I cannot do anything about that. I am hoping the issue resolves itself naturally but I may reach out to the website maintainers to see if there is an issue if it doesn’t. Hope this helps you. Sorry again for the inconvenience. Please feel free to reach out to me via the email provided in the app if you have any more concerns.

Love this guy. I had a similar problem to some users with the bridge names. I emailed the developer and he responded immediately. That was two days ago and the updates have already been made. Very simple and clear.

Great concept!

I am really excited to see that there is finally an app for iPhone users that will tell us when the bridges are up in the Niagara area. It’s fantastic that a local teenager developed it! I will be using it daily.

Beautiful

This solves a real problem for us. Great job and well done on the initiative.

Handy App

Very nice app. Clean. Easy to set up and read. Shows bridges in all conditions including going up soon, a really important feature.

Thank you!!

Awesome job on this app. So helpful! Thank you for creating it.

Been waiting for an app like this

This is just what Niagara Region needed! Well worth the .99! Get this if you need to cross the bridges ever, so so much easier and convenient. Very quick glance to see what’s happening too, not overly complicated like other bridge apps. Thanks for designing this!

Accurate

This App is extremely accurate. It’s very handy when I’m planning my trip and need to see what bridges we up. Thanks
