Although I won’t be able to use this app for anything other than that since the tolls were removed. ### 2/5 — Functionality *2024-12-04, version 1.41.1* Home button takes you to a page that will not scroll so unable to access the stated three options and no ability to track you macpass account. ### 2/5 — Logs me out *2024-10-05, version 1.41.1* I wish the app would stay logged in like other apps. When I need a quick view I have to log in and it’s not user friendly in that way ### 2/5 — Functionality *2024-06-08* Home button takes you to a page that will not scroll so unable to access the stated three options and no ability to track you macpass account. ### 3/5 — Not the most accurate *2024-04-30, version 1.39.1* Not the most accurate info about traffic. I’ve crossed “heavy” at the speed limit with other cars. Red/heavy should be when it’s moving slowly or stop and go, or a parking lot. And a little thing, the Halifax bound animated cars, they should be moving in the opposite direction of the ones that are Dartmouth bound. Like the actual bridges. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-02-02, version 1.37.1* Another garbage app! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2024-01-10, version 1.35.1* Like the title suggests don’t bother downloading this app it’s useless. Rarely is the traffic updated and the cameras don’t work most of the time. Great job folks. ### 2/5 — TERRIBLE APP *2023-12-01, version 1.35.1* I cannot even believe this is the APP for Macpass and Bridge closures. Not user friendly, not intuitive. Garbage. Time for a new one. I recommend scraping this one completely and starting over. LOL ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2023-11-02, version 1.3* Says my old log in won’t work so I need to make a new account, but the submit button doesn’t work. Of course they can’t even get an app right. Halifax as usual can’t do anything right. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2023-11-02, version 1.3* Worst app doesn’t work hard to get ahold of them forced to use a terrible app 😫 ## Frequently asked questions about MACPASS ### How do I manage my MACPASS account?
