Ratings and reviews

Im on Van Isl & have been traveling regularly on family matters. This app has been great. In it's early years it had glitches, but as a regular user now it's very good. I've set frequently travelled routes that allow for fast bookings, and it's worked flawlessly. Two issues I've noticed: 1. If I start a reservation then back out/fail to complete it becomes "confused" until that initial attempt times out. Needs a way to get back to a partially complete booking. 2. Webcam photos never updated

Easy to use, no frills layout makes it quick and easy to book a ferry. The more I use it, I'm finding a couple of limitations. Biggest one is that it only shows up to 4 bookings. To see other bookings, to double check times for example, I have to go to my email and go through all of the confirmation emails to find the relevant one. Also it doesn't show past bookings. For that you have to go to the website. Although that doesn't seem to work either at the moment.

There appears to be an issue where Android has the push notifications blocked without the ability to turn them on. From what I understand, the developer needs to reach out to play store to ensure notifications can be turned on
