### 1/5 — No la tienen resuelta

*2021-07-26, version 1.2*

Te piden escoger tu ciudad de cruce y luego… nada, la app no esta resuelta.

### 1/5 — All wrong.

*2018-10-24, version 1.2*

This app is useless.

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2018-07-30, version 1.2*

No sirve
No sirve
No sirve
Solo cuando el tiempo de espera es 10 min porque siempre aparece eso en Otay Sentri

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2018-05-07, version 1.2*

This app is completely pointless.  I waited at the San Ysidro border for 3.5 hours because it said the wait was 40 minutes, even when I refreshed it while I was in line.  My friends went to Otay and got through in an hour.  It’s a free app but don’t bother wasting the space.

### 1/5 — Muchas fallas

*2016-07-10, version 1.2*

Principalmente que no actualiza el estado de las garitas.
La app se cierra cuando intenta actualizar.
Cuando seleccionas garitas favoritas te quedas en esa sección.
Es buena idea, pero échenle más ganas con las fallas que presenta!

### 1/5 — Its simple but not accurate.

*2016-06-14, version 1.2*

I really liked the format of the app, easy to use and to swipe through. But I feel extremely upset. I went to a line, the app said it was 30 minute wait and it turned out to be several hours. Its not the first time either. No app is accurate. Don't trust any app that tells you the wait times. Instead go on BorderTimes. Shows the camera angles. Good luck!

### 2/5 — Meh

*2015-12-20, version 1.0*

It would be great if your favorite garitas stayed saved and you didnt have to manually enter them
Every single time you enter the app... 😕😕😕

### 5/5 — Very Excellent Outstanding App!

*2015-09-13, version 1.0*

It's accurate and very efficient when you want to know how much time the border will take to cross!
