Ratings and reviews

Usually this app works fine, but lately, I can't see service alerts without the app crashing. It brings me back to the main page and if I try to view it again it crashes. Clearing cache and reinstallation did not resolve this. It is also not easy to see at a glance when a boat from favorites is scheduled to depart. The UI looks good but feels like it is propped up on very questionable platform code that is not resilient.

this app works exactly how it's supposed to. I found it very simple to use, although it took me a little bit to figure it out. Notice the map button on the upper right, which is a little hard to see when one is outside in the sunshine with screen reflections - maybe that could be given a little contrasting circle around it. Once I found the map button, then I was good to go. I'm a senior citizen, and I strongly appreciate the senior discount ✅✅✅

Your app is a joke and the fact that there is no other way to get the rockway rocket ticket other than online is ridiculous. We were there trying to pay with our credit cards and the system would not allow us. They wouldn't allow us onboard because the ticket was not showing in our app. Shame on you for providing the service but no way to get on the ferry because of app issues
