Die Zeiten werden nur sehr selten aktualisiert zu Grenzübergängen Richtung montenegro/albanien/kosovo. Auch werden keine Durchschnittszeiten für die ganze Woche Protokolliert sodass man nachschauen kann wann sonst Zeiten sind an denen man wenig warten muss. Alles in allem ist die App leider absolut unbrauchbar für meine Anwendung. Schade eigentlich, da das Konzept interessant ist. Ich brauche jetzt auch keinen riesen Text vom Entwickler, denn die App habe ich REFUNDED bei Apple. **Developer response:** Unfortunately there is no camera installed everywhere. This is not up to us, its the responsibility of the governments of countries What is available and technically possible the app contains :) Around 139 camera stream is available in the app There were 12033 user post in the last 7 days, which means ~1700 user post per day Hope later will earn a better feedback, FU :) ### 1/5 — Schrott *2024-07-08* Also es lohnt sich diese app nicht zu kaufen egal wann und welche grenzen ich mir angucke ( Richtung Türkei / hin oder zurück) ist angeblich nie was los!!! Wegen mir müssten schon 4 Familien stundenlang an der grenze warten es sei Ungarn,Serbien ,Bulgarien oder Türkei grenze! Wenn euer app noch so aktuell ist oder nicht viele Nutzer habt finde ich es persönlich unverschämt dass, ihr dafür Geld verlangt! **Developer response:** In the past 7 days there were overall 7758 post from users, which means daily 1108 waiting post.. If its not enough then i dont know what is it... I admit that for turkish border crossing points do not have enough data yet, but there are the cameras and embedded traffic map also if you dont see any user data. For the journey from Germany across Austria - Hungary - Serbia - Bulgaria - Turkey or Croatia - Serbia, North Macedonia covered with fresh informations at least hourly The solution is not to rage, the solution is sharing your experience in the border crossing points and spread the app to the world to be more fresh information for everyone Hope later we will earn a better feedback from you like the overall 4.5 feedback shows, this is a quite good initiative If you have any question please let me know and write a message to the borderwatcherapplication@gmail.com and I'll help you if struggle! :) Peace ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-02-28* No reviews for my border crossing, but that’s not surprising as the app fails and doesn’t let the user advance. ### 1/5 — Needs a user account for no reason *2023-02-08* Subject says it all. This is against the GDPR principle of not collecting unnecessary user data. One star. I’d give minus 1 if I could. **Developer response:** Apple login is importat for the app to be reliable and accurate. At the begining there were some unfair user who intentionally post fake waiting times to given border and ruined everything. With profile IF anyone who wanna try to give false information I can block in the future. Without profile it could much more easy to give false information and mislead the users. Just imagine that case when you would like to go A->B and somebody post a cool 1 minute waiting time without any sign.. and when you arrive to the border and see the 4 hours queue you wouldn't like it I hope its a suitable reason for you. I understand your concern, but you should not worried about it, also hope you understand this necessary step an later will join the BorderWatcher community ### 1/5 — Geld rausgeschmissen *2022-07-24* Vorsicht bei dieser App. Ich habe mir die App runtergeladen, jedoch sehr schnell festgestellt, dass auf meiner Route von der Türkei nach Deutschland an fast allen Grenzen keine Daten verfügbar sind. Völlig sinnlos ausgegebenes Geld **Developer response:** I suppose you tried the Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia-Serbia-Bulgaria route. Daily 800-1000 posts are arriving to the system to various border crossing points. Mostly in Hungary because the app came from here. The app is a social-based information sharing app regards for the borders. So if you are there at a border you can share/post your experience. Of course across europe the app is not known well to be information all day. Some countries have an official border waiting time site where the official (but not so accurate) times could be retrieved. Unfortunately Slovenia and Croatia do not have this kind of formal sites. Thats why they dont have data lot of times. Besides that the app contains a traffic map also where you can see the traffic of each border crossing point (later cameras will be available too). Please forgive us for the inconvenience. Hope in the future there will be more and more data for other border crossing points too. Also hope you understand this and in the future you also post any info to be more accurate the app. ### 1/5 — Keine Live Cameras *2022-07-19* Keine Live Cameras Einsicht und die App kostet 1.99 € hätte uch mir Sparren können. **Developer response:** Update: As i promised the latest version (2.10.0) finally released which contains the cameras feature, enjoy! :) ---- Camera feature is still in development please be patient. Until that you can check the hundreds of daily posted waiting times and embedded traffic map which are helpful to decide which border crossing point is the best for you. Hope we will earn a five star rating later, thank you! ### 1/5 — Update 2.6.0 schrott *2021-12-12* Benötigt Apple login und 2 Faktor Authentifizierung, ohne 2 Faktor Authentifizierung läuft nicht, daher Finger Weg Apple Login kein Problem, Aber 2 Faktor Authentifizierung nein, daher schade. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that, Apple login is importat for the app to be reliable and accurate. I hope you understand this necessary step an later will join the BorderWatcher community ### 1/5 — 0 *2019-08-30* Paid for the app, but it’s very inaccurate, all messed up. Avoid ### 4/5 — Gut *2023-08-02* Coole App aber leider nicht alle Cameras usw. verfügbar **Developer response:** Yes indeed, unfortunately there is no camera installed everywhere. This is not up to us, its the responsibility of the governments of countries What is available and technically possible the app contains :) Around 139 camera stream is available in the app ### 4/5 — 👍 eine App für alle Autofahrer *2023-06-24* Super App, wird 2 mal im Jahr genutzt um den Stau an der Grenze zu umgehen. Wer steht schon gerne 3-6 Stunden. **Developer response:** Thank you, Danke!:) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sehr gut und hilfreich *2025-08-03* Top ### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert für Autoreisen 👏 *2024-08-18* Die Wartezeiten sind etwas konservativ positiv geschätzt. Lieber immer noch 15 Minuten drauf packen. Ich würde nie wieder ohne diese App vorher zu checken, auf eine Landesgrenze zu fahren! Vor allem im Gebiet Ungarn, Serbien, Rumänien und Bulgarien 👍 **Developer response:** Thank you! :) Yea the app could be as accurate as possible, but depends on the nature of the border crossing it wont be 100% precise ### 5/5 — Not many users *2024-08-18* Idea is good. But I would make it free, make the app popular, have the reliable data then try to sell it. Today not enough info **Developer response:** Thanks :), The app reached 400k users a couple days ago. The last 7 days there were 18103 post from the users which means ~2600 posts daily There is 763 feedback with 591 is 5 stars Android has a limited free version, same popularity I believe the app is popular and much more usable, but i have to admit you, it would be better if everyone knows it :). For that case you can help to spread it in your community Thank you in advance! ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2024-07-20* Damit kann man die Wartezeiten an den Grenzübergängen nachsehen und ggf. auf andere ausweichen. Vielen Dank für die Umsetzung. Allerdings sollten die Kameras wieder aktualisiert werden. Vielen Dank für die Umsetzung. **Developer response:** Thank you Hancioglu! Teşekkürler kardeşim ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-07-18* Very good, more people if I join it will be better ### 5/5 — Fabulous app *2023-08-16* Travelling to Greece for yeas, it was my annual nightlife to pass the borders in Röszke and further, without knowing what’s going on. Waiting for short or long long time. This app helps a lot, providing info and helping to share with other travellers. For the first time ever I passed the Serbian/Hungarian border under 60 minutes! Thank you! **Developer response:** Wow, awesome thank you, glad to see this :) Danke ### 5/5 — BorderWatcher *2023-07-27* Eine super geile App, echt super gemacht das man die Entfernung und wieviel Minuten eingeben kann… Man kann sich so ungefähr für die Grenze einstellen **Developer response:** Thank you, danke! :) ### 5/5 — Thanks for update *2023-07-20* My suggestion was selecting borders between Bulgaria and Türkiye and vice versa. Romani was was my bad. Cut to the line, you have understood and implemented my proposal already. Thanks again Köszönöm 👍 Many thanks regarding updates and implementing our suggestions :) ! Great job Cheers **Developer response:** Wow, thank you for your kind words! Romania and Turkey as far as i know are not neighbors thats why you cannot see them From Romania you have to go through Bulgaria in order to be in Turkey The app contains 4 border crossing point between Romania and Bulgaria and 3 border crossing point between Bulgaria and Turkey Not every border crossing point has an installed camera, where it is available the app can stream the broadcast. Sometimes they are just offline for some reason, but its not up to us :) Thank you again, Hope later we will earn a 5 star rating! :) ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App *2023-04-15* Perfect…. **Developer response:** Thank you, Danke! :) ### 5/5 — Super und präzise! *2023-04-03* Echt tolle App, Daten meistens für Ungarn und angrenzende Länder, ich erwarte in paar Jahren Boom Weltweit. Mit Preis von 1,99€ für iOS - ich bin mehr als zufrieden! Ich wünsche den ganzen Team viel Glück und Erfolg und Danke. **Developer response:** Thank you! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
