## What is Next Ferry?

Manly ferry timetable made easy. Forget about looking at a timetable, you live in a world where your phone is smart enough to know where you are and the time the next ferry departs from:
Manly - Circular Quay
Manly - Darling Harbour
Manly - North Sydney
Manly - Pyrmont Bay
And vice versa :)

An app, started as a design exercise, for daily commuters of the Manly Ferry Services. Next Ferry gets you to and from work on time, with no ferry timetable hassle, just open the app.

Spend less time wondering when the next ferry departs and more time for all the meaningful things you have to do!

GESTURES:
- Swipe left/right to see the ferries leaving the next hour
- Tap on the route name to access other Manly ferry timetables
- Double tap the screen to switch the departure location (the app is smart enough to automatically display the quay you're the closest to so don't double tap too much!)
- Tap on the ferry icons for...surprise!
- Swipe left/right in the day timetable view to switch days

NOTES:
Note that the timetable isn't using live data and won't show if there are delays on either service. Next Ferry will not be held responsible for timetable mistake.

App designed in Manly (and on the ferry to and from work) by myself Sylvain Garcia and developed by James Pang with the support of Matthew Tonkin (thank you for all the Thai food!).

A 5 star review is much appreciated :)

### 1/5 — Timetable is not correct

*2019-11-07*

I have used this for a while and it’s ok. However a couple of weeks ago some of the timetables changed and it’s now out of date. Eg. Manly Fast Ferry is wrong

**Developer response:** Hey Toadflax1961, thank you for the feedback. The timetable is now up to date. Sorry for the delay, this is a side project and I happen to be a bit behind on the timetable updates from time to time due to other priorities. I'll try to be even more reactive to timetable changes moving forward. Cheers.

### 5/5 — Timetable Changed

*2019-08-06*

Can you update the time table? Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for the review, the timetable should be updated this week! Sorry for the delay. Please note that another timetable update will be pushed mid-september when the Barangaroo route will stop operating.

### 3/5 — Manly fast ferry timetable has changed, please update the app
