Ratings and reviews

Does not handle exceptions well. This week the Bremerton ferry service went down to one ship, and lots of announcements were made that the schedule would be impacted. Except... The schedule in the app was never updated. Nor does the app allow you to see which boat is scheduled for which time slot. The phone information system also did not reflect the change. As a result, we ended up showing up at the wrong time and had to wait 2 hours for our next crossing. Very frustrating.

I understand delayed ferries due to labor shortage or mechanical problems. We were told to download this app which will include the delayed departure/arrival times. HOWEVER, no such information exists on the web or anywhere in this app. Nothing is updated! Ever! You have no choice but to show up at the ferry and walk up to the ticket booth where they MIGHT have scribbled new departure times on a whiteboard. This is unacceptable. In the year 2022, have someone please update the app!

Like probably 80% plus of users, there is one ferry line I use all the time. The app has a way to mark a line as Favorite but this seems to have zero impact on the UI. I still start with a list of all lines, most of which I don't care about, before scrolling down to and clicking the line I do. Every. Time. Tickets are either pdfs or mobile - - why? Why can't I have every ticket I buy in the app AND as a printable PDF? Means I have to save the Pdf on Dropbox or something to get on my phone.
