What's New in FerryOrNot

1.3.1

October 21, 2026

Fixes to "What was checked": • The ferry's time now counts from when you leave, including the wait at the dock, so it matches the comparison above it. On trips with a long wait, the ferry could look faster than a drive that actually got you there sooner. • A boat you'd miss by seconds no longer reads "you'd reach the dock at 10:21, after its 10:21 line-by". The dock time shows the next minute. FerryOrNot is not affiliated with or endorsed by Washington State Ferries or WSDOT.

User reviews

Great!

Easy to use and way more info that WSF app. Love that it can store my pass and it pops up on phone when I’m near the dock. Really cool!

Buggy

Crazy predictions

Response from developer

Sorry the predictions missed for you. Could you tell us which route and time, at ferryornot@chowenlabs.com? We’re tuning the model and your trip would really help.

Great idea

This app is a great idea! I’m constantly trying to check ferry times, status/cancellations of boats, and traffic delays to see if I should drive around or wait for the next ferry. This app saves me a ton of time and the data is displayed in a way that is easy to understand.

Response from developer

Thanks so much! Glad it's saving you time on those wait-or-drive-around decisions. We'd love your ideas for what to add or improve next. Just tap the feedback link in the app (Settings → About & Support)
