### 4/5 — Ad free version would be great

*2019-06-15*

Thanks

### 4/5 — Useful app

*2017-06-26*

Useful app

### 4/5 — Better than the official one

*2017-04-02*

Nice little app - would be good to be able to click on a service to the the route and estimated time of arrival at each pier.

### 4/5 — Time for TC to step up...

*2011-07-12, version 2.1*

Not actually launched by TC themselves, certainly wasn't originally so like everything else they'll ignore the comments. Handy app though, one it updates. Haven't upgraded OS yet so no doubt will bin the app once I do :(

### 4/5 — River Express in Capital

*2011-04-01, version 2.1*

I was traveling aboard a boat from Tower to O2 early this week & thought I'd download this App to my iPhone , very Impressed for a commuter living by or near river .
Excellent & friendly staff on boats , keep up good service !!

For future need to be interactive with other modes of Transport in Capital 

Keep updates Informative !!

### 4/5 — Tunnel guru

*2011-01-12, version 1.6*

Great app - really useful

### 3/5 — Useful in general, but what about the Hilton service?!

*2010-09-06*

Seems to be a good app, useful to have quick reference to the timetable. However, I couldn't find a timetable for the Hilton service, which takes a break in the afternoon and evening.

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2010-07-20, version 0*

Handy liitle app for when I'm out and about in London.
Two additions I'd like to see..

1. ETA at your chosen destination
2. Scrollable route map

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2010-06-21, version 0*

Agree with all the other reviews. Now, can we persuade Thames Clippers to reduce the fares just a wee bit? :-)

### 5/5 — So, so, USEFUL!

*2010-06-09*

This app is perfect for anyone that uses the Thames Clipper service. Much better than opening that PDF that TC supply on their website every time! 

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — There are no timetables in this app

*2022-01-10*

Or if there are, I can’t find them. 

Don’t waste your time on this one.

### 1/5 — Utterly Ruined

*2013-09-09*

Slow handclap to whoever thought this was an improvement.  This latest update replaces useful features with information you can already get without the app.

Instead of being able to view live times for eastbound and westbound boats separately, we now have the same incomprehensible board you see at some of the piers that just lists the abstract boat numbers and arrival times.

And instead of the neat timetable view showing arrivals for your stop (again, east or west), you just get a scan of the same PDF you can download from the website.

Basically, two changes that make this app completely redundant, unless you happen to be at one of the stops where the electronic board is broken.

Ruined a perfectly good app.

### 1/5 — No update

*2011-01-06, version 1.6*

Doesn't update anymore with the new timetable.

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2010-12-02, version 0*

Used to really rate this app as was very useful. However, since OS upgrade no longer works. Pity.

### 1/5 — Update needed

*2010-11-25, version 0*

App used to work well, but now keeps crashing since I've installed the new iPhone update. Was handy before, even though not live timetable.

### 1/5 — iOS4.2 incompatible

*2010-11-25, version 1.5*

Does not work with iOS4.2 (on3G iPhone at least) - simply quits. A bit like the Thames Clippers themselves after 9pm....

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2010-11-24, version 1.5*

Keeps crashing. Might be because I just updated my iPhone to 4.2

### 2/5 — Good but flawed

*2010-11-29, version 0*

Good app but stopped working once upgraded to iOS 4.2

### 2/5 — Out-of-date timetable!

*2010-11-28*

Such appp would be very useful (instead of loading PDF timetable from the website) but it contains out-of-date information!

### 3/5 — Helpful, could be better.

*2010-11-23*

Generally a pretty helpful app for getting departure times rather than TC's somewhat annoying website. 
Could benefit from more easily identifying arrival times, especially for locations where the boat doesn't always run to on every service. 
Live updates would be nice, but appreciate this is a big ask, TC's don't even provide this on their piers. 
Also have just updated my iPad to iOS 4.2 and now the app fails to launch. 

All in all, a basic and simple app that does what is says on the tin.

### 5/5 — Use it every day

*2017-05-29*

Love this app. So much better than the 'official' one. An essential for any river commuter.

### 5/5 — Great app' - An excellent commuter service.

*2014-01-25*

The App gives you everything you need to know about this excellent boat service. It's by far the best way to see Central London and the glorious Royal Greenwich. High speed boats blast you up and down the river, excellent onboard staff make the journey so much more enjoyable. A great app' for a brilliant boat service.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2013-07-25, version 2.6*

Totally rely on this little app! Considering it was written by a passenger I think it's awesome! 

Thank you

### 5/5 — Mr

*2012-04-13*

Lovely little app. Simple to navigate, accurate timetables and integrated route maps.  Top marks from me,

### 5/5 — Very handy!

*2012-03-13*

Great little app. Very considerate of the developer to go out of his way to help commuters. The people complaining need to be a bit more grateful or else go and write their own app if they think they are so clever.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-03-09, version 2.2*

Lovely little app. Well done :)

### 5/5 — great application for commuters

*2011-09-02*

I am using Thames Clippers almost daily and this application saves me from consulting small print timetable. I can use this app on the run to check if I am running late for the next boat. The latest version is more user friendly and has more features. 

Great app and great update! Well done and thank you!

### 5/5 — The Crew are Using this app! :-D

*2011-06-04*

Must be good if the ticket staff are using it to give you information!

### 5/5 — Nice job

*2011-01-09, version 1.6*

Simple little free timetable tool. Good work.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2010-09-24*

Much easier than the Thames Clipper website timetable
