### 5/5 — Solid

*2025-04-01, version 1.43.1*

I honestly don’t know why everyone leaves bad reviews about this app. I honestly find it very helpful knowing what the traffic looks like on the bridges when I’m on a time crunch. 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 😫
