### 5/5 — So convient and intuitive to use!

*2025-04-25*

I love this app! I’ve used it several times to actually get to the airport and the options it gave were perfect! It was so nice not having to move between apps and ferry schedules but to have it all in one place! I find it very easy to navigate and well worth $2. I’m guessing the poor ratings are from people who used the app right when some bugs were being worked out, because I haven’t had any problems with it.

### 1/5 — App does not work at all

*2025-01-16*

Can’t click any of the buttons. Waste of $2.00

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.14 — 2026-08-24

Fixed a longstanding bug regarding the "Show Ferries" button.  It works now -- or at least, it works as well as WSDOT's use of AIS allows.  We're not always getting consistent data from the ferries, but the information displayed is now as accurate as it can be, given the realities on the ground.

### 1.2.12 — 2025-07-07

Added support for commercial vehicles
Added captions on traffic cams to help make sense of them
Improved alerts for disruptions
Minor bug fixes

### 1.2.10 — 2025-05-19

Added deep link support
Better detection of disruptions/delays (just in time for summer!)
Added setting for Apple vs Google maps
Fixed 'get location again' functionality
Added clarification to 'arrive at' display
No longer auto-reloads routes when saving settings
Minor bug fixes

### 1.2.9 — 2025-04-28

- Deep links: Now, if the app is installed, and you use a link to load FerryWizard, it loads the app instead of going to the web page.
- Minor bug fixes; mostly tweaking a few things that were annoying

### 1.2.8 — 2025-03-31

Bug fix: Sometimes fails to load correctly on first start
Bug fix: Fails to fetch location on some versions of iOS
Bug fix: Notifications now go off when scheduled, instead of right now
