Are you not fixing this one to force us to buy the new one? No thanks. **Developer response:** Hi the app has been fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience ### 1/5 — What a rip off *2022-07-02* The app is stuck on June 24th, won’t update, and there is no way to cancel. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP. **Developer response:** Hi the app has been fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience ### 1/5 — Stuck *2022-06-28* The app is stuck on June 24th it’s now June 28th **Developer response:** Hi the app has been fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience ### 1/5 — App for the canal *2022-05-27* It use it be free now you have to pay? So much gouging in a world that’s already expensive to live in. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2021-09-10* Need to learn how to spell St. Catharines ### 1/5 — Garbage!!! *2021-09-04, version 1.0* Absolute garbage. Click bate. Not free at all!! ### 1/5 — Welland Canal Bridge status *2021-08-30, version 1.0* What a rip off… not free… for the handful of times I’d need it…it’s not worth having/paying 👎👎 ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2021-08-02, version 1.0* App is not free it runs on a subscription model. $2 per month or $12 per year, you need to pay to see the status of the bridges ### 1/5 — App opens to Paywall *2021-06-28, version 1.0* App opens to a Paywall.... I dont mind paying, but let me see what I'm paying for! ### 1/5 — Need to buy *2021-06-23, version 1.0* This app looks like you get a chance to use it a bit before you subscribe, unfortunately this is not the case. I don’t mind paying for an app, but not before I get a chance to see how it works. Hard Pass ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trap *2026-05-20* 19.99 year automatic subscription after 7-day “free” subscription. No thanks ### 1/5 — Will Not Load *2025-09-15* Could not start app to test. Said my free 7 day trail period had ended (I just downloaded for first time) and asked for my $19.99 yearly payment fee BEFORE I could have my free 7 day trail period. I predict this app will be paid for by nobody. ### 1/5 — Can get this for free *2024-03-23* There are at least two websites that provide this information, plus FM 93.3. ### 1/5 — Unethical *2023-08-21* This information should be provided at no cost. ### 1/5 — Cost money? *2023-06-28* It is free of you do a google search? Developer, offer it for free and embed advertising? ### 1/5 — 2 dollars a month for data they get for free *2023-05-27* The government literally gives you this information for free on their website. Just Google search “welland canal status” and add it to your Home Screen. ### 1/5 — Scam!!! *2023-02-01* It is a scam. It lies to you, It advertises as a free app it isn’t, they want you to pay for either a monthly or yearly subscription might as well just get the one that’s underneath it in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch scam *2022-12-05* Offers a free app, then tells you it’s free if you pay for it. Reporting as a scam. You are better off to just create a shortcut to canal status and have that icon on you Home Screen. One touch notification for bridge status from the original source, easy, and actually free, not fake free. ### 1/5 — Useless App. *2022-07-08* The status had not been updated since June 24th. It is now July 8th. I expect a refund. **Developer response:** Hi I’m sorry for the downtime, it is working now ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-07-08* My app is stuck on June 24 and it’s now July 7th! I’ve tried deleting the app a few times. Beyond frustrating. Don’t waste your money **Developer response:** Hi the app has been fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-27* The app is great I love the new feature about seeing the boats in the direction it’s coming gives me an idea of how long it will take to wait for it. 10/10 recommend the app saves me so much time! ### 5/5 — Open to feedback and fixed *2022-07-21* Was able to communicate with developer who fixed the app and it’s working well now ! **Developer response:** Hi the app has been fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience ### 5/5 — Super useful *2021-07-12, version 1.0* I like the on screen widgets, and with Siri automations as soon as my phone connects to by cars Bluetooth she tells be the bridge status. Worth the money ### 4/5 — Great app but…. *2025-10-09* This is a great and dat ma rich app. It would be made more useful if it could be used in Apple CarPlay. Or somehow embedded / plugged into Google Maps. ### 3/5 — Need this on CarPlay *2025-10-22* App is good on its own. However for usage should be available on CarPlay. Supposed to be hands free and only need this app when driving. It would be like having Google Maps, but not available on CarPlay. Kinda defeats purpose. ### 2/5 — Come on guys… *2021-10-01* For $20 a year, one would think that more info would be included. For example, maybe we add when the next 2 ships are due at the lock. Also, please spell St. Catharines correctly. Shameful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
