What did you do without this app??

This is a great app. The predictions on car volumes for future sailing is incredibly helpful. And the ability to see how many rides are remaining on the multi-ride tickets is huge!

Must have

This is a gotta have it kinda app if you use WSDOT ferries at all. Super user-friendly and easy to navigate. I recommend to all

The update sucks

I regret updating this app. The update is very visually busy and difficult to navigate. I'm trying to figure out how to revert it to a previous version.

I commute by ferry most days and have used this app for 2 years for ferry alerts, vessel mapping, and reservations. It used to be really useful! If I can't figure out a way to revert the update I'm just gonna delete it and use the wsdot app instead, which is clunky but is better than this.

The app you NEED for WA Ferry travel!

The best. Love it! Highly recommended. Affordable.

Brilliant

A++++ for this app. I’ve ridden Wa. State Ferries for 50 years and along the way everything has gotten more and more complicated. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, you need is on this app (schedules, alerts, allotments, availability, real time maps, direct link to reservations, and more) and it’s so easy to navigate. I think it was designed by someone who knows what they’re doing.

Worked like a charm!

Used it to go Edmonds - Kingston for the day. Lots of good info provided!!
Will use again πŸ’—

Love this App

A must if you are a regular ferry user. Easy to use. Keep la track of your multi ride ticket usage.

I love this app

I just downloaded this app a few days ago because I HATE the WSDOT app and cannot read the ferry schedules they are so unnecessarily confusing. This app SAVED ME! I love everything about this app. The schedules are easy to read, the predictions and wonderful, and I love the ease of everything. I willingly will be supporting this app because it is so wonderful(: β›΄οΈπŸ¦¦

What a great, easy-to-use app!

This app is sooo helpful! It’s easy to navigate and has a pleasing, understandable interface. I just moved to Vashon Island and have used it about a dozen times this week.

Wonderful, particularly for San Juan Islands

San Juan Island ferries are often off-schedule and difficult to anticipate. This app helps tremendously in planning and scheduling! Far far superior to the DOT fairy scheduling app

So good! Very useful

This is our go to now for all ferry travel with great improvements over the official app. Very thankful for this resource.

Super helpful!

Ferry Friend is reliable and easy to use for real-time WA state ferry schedules. It’s simple to use and provides all the info in an easy to use format - schedule predictions, dock cameras, real-time boat tracking, ability to add ferry passes, and more. The app team listens to customers wants/needs for improvements and is super helpful if there’s an issue or support need.

Incredibly useful app!

Use this daily! Easy to use interface, all the right information at your finger tips. Love this app. Thank you for developing it.

Point defiance

Always late, short on staff

Another developer who needs to learn to budget

This app is not complicated or elaborate. It’s not fun to use, or pleasant to look at. It was not a feat of engineering to make. But it had one job, which was to marginally improve the formatting of some publicly available information. And it was ok at it. In return, its developer was granted a lifestyle of freedom and opulence that few can dream of.

But as always, it wasn’t enough. Inspired, perhaps, by rent seeking everywhere, the author of this short work decided that for the privilege of using bookmarks, you should now pay him $3/month to exist.

I’d rather use a WSDOT website. Which is saying something.

Ferry friendly

Easy to navigate and read

Awesome App

This app makes living with vagrancies of the WSFerries so much easier. I use it all the time. Thank you!

Best ferry app ever.

I’ve been using this app basically since it launched, because I used to commute every day by Bainbridge ferry (it’s more like once a week now). I immediately became an evangelist for it and I share it with everyone: Friends, tourists staying more than a day or two, regular commuters, everyone. It does everything the WSF app does except better: In fewer clicks, with a simpler UI. I’m so glad it exists that I didn’t hesitate for a second to pay for it when that became an option. I’m so glad its creator has been able to make this his job!

Mind blowing integration.

Love the stability and complete integration with everything you need to monitor and manage your ferry experience!

Wonderful, particularly for San Juan Islands
