Essential App
Love this app - saves me so much time and really helps me plan. It’s far more accurate than google maps, Apple Maps, or internet travel information. So simple and straight forward to use, clear and concise info.
If you rely on the Severn Bridge for daily travel, you can’t afford to not have this app!

A true godsend
This app has been an absolute godsend when commuting between England and Wales. This is extremely helpful especially when the Severn Bridge (M48) closes with no warning due to wind. I've recommended this app to multiple family members aswell as friends for when they travel as it's so handy.
Great app
Brilliant little app and a great idea that has made my life so much easier since moving to Chepstow. There are sometimes inaccuracies in the bridge status but I understand that is down to a bad data feed from the Highways Agency.
Great app
Really useful app, highways agency information is often out of date but this app gives you the current Severn bridges status. Wouldn’t be without it
Wouldn’t be without it
I’m not a daily user of the Severn Bridges but I do use them a lot. This app is my ‘go to’ whenever the weather is not great or I have concerns it may be closed. It’s quick and easy to use and very reliable.
Super useful resource
Really useful app - has saved my bacon on a number of occasions. Really appreciate the effort the developer goes to so that bridge status is “live”, which often means this app is more up to date than Highways Agency data.
Great App
I’ve used this app since it started and it’s a great source of information, I always check the app before heading towards the old bridge and this helps prevent a big detour if the bridge is shut. I’ve always found the app reflects the bridge closures including additional information on expected opening times.

Great App
This app is so useful and saves me time and heartache. Nothing worse than getting to the bridge to find it closed and having to go back up the motorway to Magor.
Would be lost without it!
This app is so useful and much more reliable than google maps in terms of whether the bridge is open. A must have for anyone who uses the Severn Bridges!
Useful but currently not loading
I’ve always found this app brilliant but for some reason I can’t get it to load and just get a spinning wheel. I have tried reloading the app but that’s not helped. Any idea how to get it back please?
Server issues again?
I’ve found this app very useful over last couple of years, although disappointed the scheduled works section has not materialised.
Today it won’t load, I’m just getting the “please wait” spinning wheel of death (despite deleting and reloading the app); are there problems with the server again??
I would have sent this question to the developer directly, but clicking on “app support” takes you to a parked domain: no website, no contact details…

I can’t live with out it!
Genuinely one of the most useful apps I have. I live in Chepstow and often travel across the bridge for work/leisure. It’s saved me so many detours to Magor, knowing when the “old bridge” will be shutting or opening.
Huge thank you to the loan ranger that runs it. I would be lost with out it!

Very basic
It does what is needed at the bare minimum. A few suggestions for improvements would be:
1. A way of localising notifications to one bridge or the other or both
2. A way of having a custom notification time eg 6:00am so it’s on my phone when I wake up
3. A widget or widgets that give you enough information to tell whether you’re getting across a bridge that morning. Ie a 2x2 widget with only the traffic light indicator and the directions that are open.
The widget would be the most useful for me personally and if it’s not implemented by this app I might have to crack on with a version myself. Over all good enough app.

Useful beyond belief…
I’ve used this app, since it’s early days, in a bid to save me time and mileage crossing the River Severn. I live in Monmouthshire but work in Bristol and, with the numerous overnight and weekend closures which beset the M48 bridge, the app warns of any closure, expected or unexpected, and advises me of whether I’m going to need to use the M4 bridge instead. There is currently a problem with receiving push notifications to my phone but this is down to an outside agency and not the fault of the app. It will be sorted I’m sure. The couple of seconds it takes me to check the app directly, before my journey, is worth it and doesn’t really detract from what is still a very worthwhile tool. Thanks

Very Useful App
As someone who uses the M48 bridge every day, this app has been an enormous help! Quick to load, easy to understand and the recent addition of daily updates are fantastic. Props to the dev!
It’s absolutely criminal that there isn’t an ‘official’ version of this though. If you don’t use Twitter, you’re buggered when trying to find out the bridge conditions.
Thank you developer, appreciate this very much!!

Very helpful app
I have travelled over the M48 bridge many times since lockdown restrictions were lifted, and this app has been most helpful. I hope it won’t be too long before we can have some sort of maintenance diary for the bridges so that we can plan more in advance. Any idea how long before this happens?
Great App!
This app is extremely accurate and informative. I rely on it for travelling regularly over the M48 bridge. This new version is even better with great timely updates. Look forward to the other features being worked on! Highly recommend.
New app
Had trouble at first when I download the app got on to Dave he responded instantly this is an amazing app it’s as saved me a lot of time when I gone on my night shift many of time got to m48 shut had to go back to m4 so thanks for this
Fantastic resource
Thanks to this app you will know exactly when the bridges will open/close, not just when they are planned to be as we all know that’s often not the case!
It’s great to get the option for push notifications with live updates before they go public via other sources.
I’m very happy to pay only £1.99p to help me plan my days to save time and fuel.

Useful app
Found this app to be invaluable. Preferred the layout of the previous version though as this new version has coloured text that I can’t easily read. Also too many typos in this version so hopefully we will see improvement soon now that this is chargeable
Response from developer
Hi there, please could you let us know if any spelling mistakes? Thanks
