## What is Staten Island Ferry?

The original Staten Island Ferry App!
***Featured in the Staten Island Advance!***

Never miss the boat again!

The SIFerry app uses GPS to detect whether you are in Manhattan or Staten Island and automatically shows you the Staten Island Ferry timetable relevant to your location as well as a countdown timer for the next ferry departure. 

The SIFerry app gives you the estimated walking, biking, or driving time and distance to the ferry terminal so you can easily figure out when to leave to make the next boat!

The SIFerry app will show the timetable and countdown even without internet connection so you can check the ferry schedule on an iPod Touch or in areas without cellular coverage (like the subway).  

Easily keep track of the countdown and ETA to the nearest terminal using the today widget.

The SIFerry app automatically displays the appropriate weekday, weekend, or holiday schedule.

Use the sharing feature to let your friends and family know what ferry you are on and what time your boat will dock.  Just tap the line in the schedule for the ferry you are taking and select message, mail, 
or your favorite social network from the menu. The SIFerry app will automatically populate the text of your message for you.

### 1/5 — Nothing special

*2023-04-16, version 2.2*

This app does not alert you of delayed departures or canceled departures. It just shows the same time all the time. No need to pay for this just use the website

### 5/5 — Best for the job

*2020-01-02, version 2.1*

I’ve had this app for years, but just had to give a recommendation for someone else. If you’re taking the Staten Island Ferry, this app is the best choice. It gives the full schedule, the next ferry, knows what side you’re on, and will even give you a walking route if you’re lost. With that, it can tell you what ferry you’ll make, when you’re far away.

Nothing flashy, just the best tool for the job

### 5/5 — Good for a Quick Check

*2018-10-01, version 2.1*

The next ferry pops up as soon as you open this app. It is not complicated and is not perfect for planning but that is not why I would use this app. If you commute on the Staten Island Ferry on a regular basis, get this app.

### 2/5 — Need to update schedule

*2015-10-29, version 2.0.1*

Otherwise a good app; but the boat schedule has changed and is no longer accurate.

### 5/5 — I L-O-V-E this app!

*2015-01-12, version 2.0.1*

Fast and convenient way to check the ferry schedule. Particularly helpful during the transition times between two boats and four.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-12-17, version 2.0.1*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Very helpful.  Schedule is accurate.

*2014-06-24, version 2.0.1*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Useful and Clear

*2014-03-31, version 2.0*

Great app to know quickly which ferry when.  Also love the auto generated texts detailing my ferry arrival!  Cute and useful.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP!!

*2013-09-18, version 2.0*

Great app; it is crystal clear, clean/simple, does what you want and need if you are ever looking to make the next boat of the NYC Staten Island Ferry.

### 4/5 — It's a great app

*2013-08-31, version 1.2*
