## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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 😫

### 1/5 — Unreliable closure info

*2023-10-27, version 1.3*

I installed this specifically for bridge closure information but it’s been so inconsistent that I no longer trust the app

### 1/5 — Not impressed with this app

*2023-10-20, version 1.3*

Doesn’t tell you the closures today and upcoming .

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2023-10-11, version 1.1*

Doesn’t provide updated information so it is basically useless for tracking traffic.

### 1/5 — Hate this app

*2023-09-26, version 1.0*

Glitchy as hell. Won’t let me log in most of the time. Often, I can put in my username, but the app page will not let me swipe down enough to enter my password. Other times, i can enter both the username and password, but then the sign in button doesn’t work. I can only sign in using the app maybe 2 out of every 10 attempts. So, I’ll have to log in on my laptop—which defeats the point of having a mobile app in the first place. What a waste of time.

### 1/5 — I paid $20 and it didn’t apply to my visa

*2023-09-18, version 1.0*

I sent $20 to my Macpass via the new mobile app. It charged my credit card but didn’t apply the money to my Macpass.

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2023-09-17, version 1.0*

The app is too big for my phone.  I can’t see half of it

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great for planning commute

*2023-09-15, version 1.0*

I love being able to see live bridge traffic in real time and the ratings for heavy, medium and light traffic are so useful

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-09-15, version 1.0*

Great to have traffic and account management in one app.  The traffic volume looks great, too.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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
