Sometimes it works, but half the time when it says the bridge is going up at a certain time and we get to the bridge before hand, its already up wasting us gas, time, and late having to go another way around...

V70%
by V####:

Good but wish it tells you how long bridges are up for

N70%
by N####:

Helps out a lot

N70%
by N####:

It would be infinitely more helpful if the times a boat was coming didn't change unexpectedly. I need this app to get back and forth from work on time and its really agitating when the bridge is supposed to be going up in 20 minutes but goes up right when i get there instead.

C70%
by C####:

Overall helpful, but I wish it would refresh automatically when opening. If it is running in the background and I pull it back up, it doesn't refresh unless I manually do it

I like the update, this is a great, very useful app however, after the update the widget doesn't seem to work. It says to select a bridge but there are none to choose from. I love that there is the option to have notifications. Well done.

A must for anyone in Niagara! Diggin the new look. Right up until I got this awesome "material-glass" theme on my phone. It's clear! So my wcw Widgets don't match anymore lol.. That got me thinking... It might be nice if you could allow for theming in your app. Or add some theme options in the settings. That would be awesome!

If it provided boat direction (North/South), I would have given 5 stars!

This app is terrible!!! Has lead me to bridges that were up when it said they wouldn't be three times in a row! Looked at the same bridge three times over 15 minutes and it gave me three different answers for when the bridge was going to be up! Will be deleting this app as soon as I finish this review...brutal

Same colors for background and text makes it very difficult to read. Accuracy of app has also decreased

E70%
by E####:

I've used this app for over a year. The update looks good but I find it harder to see the text in each bridge status when I have my sunglasses on. The dark green on green, dark amber on light amber and dark red on light red blends together with the sunshine and sunglasses on. Still a great app though. I just lift my sunglasses up to read.

Y70%
by Y####:

Very convenient for me to know when the bridges will be up.

V70%
by V####:

Would be nice if there was a way to get an alarm to go if the bridge is going to be up at a certain time. Warn me to get up earlier in the morning so I'm not late for work. Just an idea. Thanks for the great app!

Fantastic

K70%
by K####:

This is a MUST HAVE app for people who frequently cross the canal - say on their morning commute - the interface is neat and tidy and only displays pertinent information, all on only a single page.

H70%
by H####:

Works great after the update expect one thing... When a bridge is available it shows in your pictures that it should be green, just like in all your previous versions... Mine are the amber color for an available bridge.
