This app doesn't work. Thought it would be nice to take the ferry. Won't allow to purchase tickets. Doesn't seem to have a full schedule. There are only 1-2 ferries per day from my location. Who leaves work by 3pm in Manhattan? App doesn't seem to recognize my location. Would be nice if they had an interactive map of ferry routes and shuttle bus routes. This app doesn't have much in it. What it does have, doesn't seem to work well. Uninstalling now.

That doesn't sound right! Can you give us more information at wecare@nywaterway.com so that we can investigate?

This app is great until it's not. Nothing more frustrating than having paid for the month and getting extorted for more money because their app fails and that becomes the consumers problem. They don't reimburse, customer service is only open for 4 hours a day during the week. The bus tracker rarely works accurately and now I'm being notified that my phones operating system is too advanced for this app. Total waste of time and money.

I was happy to buy the weeklong passes for my trip but the screen rarely displayed the 5 passes nicely. Instead I regularly got Error an unexpected error has occurred. On one hand I laughed because it was most decidedly an expected error. On the other hand, the ferry attendants were getting sick of me on this vacation. If I closed every other app on my phone I could sometimes get the screen to come up but with all the times I tried, it worked maybe 3 times.
