## What is Gottardo Live?

Gottardo Live shows you exactly what's happening at the Gotthard road tunnel right now — queue lengths, waiting times, official alerts and live webcams — so you can decide when to leave and which direction is actually moving.

It's built directly on official Swiss data from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO / VMZ-CH), not a third-party scrape.

WHAT YOU GET
• Live queues both ways — queue length in kilometres and estimated waiting time, northbound and southbound, updated automatically.
• 7 live webcams along the A2 and over the pass, ordered from the portals outward, with full-screen zoom.
• Official alerts from the Swiss traffic management centre, grouped by direction and shown in your language.
• Automatic push alerts when a queue forms, gets heavy, or clears — so you don't have to keep checking.
• A 24-hour trend chart to see how the day is developing and spot the quiet windows.
• Portal weather at Göschenen and Airolo.
• Designed for both iPhone and iPad, with a layout tailored to each.

FOUR LANGUAGES
Fully localised in English, Italian, German and French — the languages of the Gotthard.

CLEAR, HONEST NUMBERS
Queue length and waiting time always come from the official feed and are shown together. When there is no official queue, the app never invents one — at most it shows a subtle "heavier traffic than usual" hint.

FREE
Gottardo Live is free, supported by a single banner ad. No account, no sign-up, nothing to subscribe to.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-06

• Alerts no longer disappear while a queue is on screen. When the official feed goes quiet, the alerts list and the direction cards now stay in agreement.
• Waiting times published in hours, not just in minutes, are now read correctly — long queues are no longer underestimated.
• Pull to refresh now always fetches fresh data.
• Clearer trend chart: legend at the top, a distinct colour per direction and a smoother line.
• Faster updates, with noticeably less battery and data use.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-01

This update makes Gottardo Live steadier on the busiest days:

• When the official source falters or updates in pulses, the app now keeps the last valid reading instead of wrongly showing free-flowing traffic.
• The 24-hour chart is now driven by a single, curated data series — no more misleading dips and spikes.
• If the official server is overloaded (peak travel days), the app automatically retries.
• Longer texts are now fully justified for easier reading.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-29

• Gottardo Live stays free and is now supported by a single banner ad, placed between the two direction cards. You stay in control of personalised advertising: the app asks for your consent and for tracking permission, and works exactly the same whatever you choose.

• Clearer, more accurate traffic: queue length and waiting time now always come from the official Swiss (FEDRO / VMZ-CH) feed and are shown together. Apple Maps travel-time estimates are no longer shown as a queue — just a discreet "heavier traffic than usual" hint when there is no official queue.

• Smoother 24-hour chart, without the occasional misleading spikes.

• A new "Understanding the data" guide in Settings explains the status colours and where every number comes from.

• You can now rate Gottardo Live right from Settings.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-21

• New "Understanding the data" guide in Settings — what each traffic status means and how waiting times are estimated
• Fixed the app icon badge not resetting correctly after reading notifications
• More reliable queue alerts: "queue cleared" is now confirmed before being sent, so you won't be notified while traffic is still queuing

### 1.0 — 2026-07-20

No release notes.
