User reviews

Always so helpful helping me catch ferries

This app has saved me many headaches - both missing boats or waiting far too long for them. Great functionality!

Improved, simple, useful. These devs ferry.

I am happy to see the current state of this app — the changes since used to use it on iPhone are all nice improvements. They’ve adjusted to the less predictable data provided by WSF in the last couple of years, and it appears that it will be more useful on routes other than those serving downtown Seattle. I have been using the WSDOT app, but I am going to try the notification and widget improvements in nextboat WSF now (including the *droid version I happily purchased a few minutes ago) to see if it helps with my current irregular schedule.

Thanks for putting more work into this!

The app is very confusing

So confusing that the home page is a manual for how to use the app.

Response from developer

Hmm - sorry for the .confusion. This isn't actually the home page, it's just the starting point for the very first time you start the app. After you use it, nextboat remembers where you last left off, so you can make any page your home page.

Very nice

App is well made and functions perfectly, definitely worth $2.
