*2011-06-17, version 1.2*

Not much going on here but a nice easy way to count down as you're running for the boat. Use it all the time.

Just what I needed.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-03-27, version 1.2*

It does exactly what it says it will do. EXTREMELY helpful. One of the better, meaningful apps. 

### 5/5 — This app is the greatest!!!

*2011-01-22, version 1.2*

It tells you when you have to leave the Manhattan party on Saturday night to avoid the hour long wait....and those funky late afternoon boats....

### 5/5 — Extremely Useful

*2010-11-26, version 0*

I don't go into the city extremely often, (maybe twice a month), but this app is extremely useful for when I do. I recommend it to all my friends. It works just as expected 

### 5/5 — Staten Island Ferry

*2010-10-02, version 0*

Works exactly as promised. Extremely clean UI, with nice large type, directionals, no nonsense approach. All functionality and so-far bulletproof. Previously when I was on my train commute to the Ferry, I would constantly be checking to see if I was going to make a certain boat, now after I select the Ferry I want the app tells me how much time I have to get there. Choosing Whitehall or St George departures is a single button and another interface is provided for the out-of-sequence Sat-Sun-and-one-Monday-boat schedule. Automated time saver: I would usually write to my family or call them to say which boat I would be on. Now I just use the email or SMS feature to send my selected boat ahead to whomever I choose. One ask: on the email push, it would be nice if it were HTML with a small illustration of the Ferry as a header...

### 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

### 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.

### 4/5 — It's a great app

*2013-08-31, version 1.2*

Love using this app

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2011-06-17, version 1.2*

Very functional, works well can select your ferry and get how much time ya got to make it use it often

### 4/5 — Ferry Apt

*2010-11-17, version 0*

I love this apt, It really comes in handy... Which they could add a few more categories to it to make it more interesting.

### 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.

### 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
