  • Doesn’t reflect cancellations

    The ferry was cancelled due to mechanical issues and they didn’t even reflect it in the app even though it was an all day thing. Seems like a very simple thing to do
  • A must-use app for Seattle ferries

    Every time I need to catch a ferry I check Ferry Friend first. The updates are timely, the map accurate, and the extra cameras are super helpful! Thanks making making this app!
  • Indispensable for riders of Washington State Ferries and King County/Kitsap County passenger boats

    This app is developed by a local Vashon islander and its indispensable if you frequently ride ferries anywhere in the Washington State Ferries system, as well as the passenger only boats that serve the Coleman Dock in Seattle.
  • Fantastic for frequent riders

    I love the FerryFriend app so much that I’m writing my first app review! It’s so much better than the WSDOT app. One of the best features is the ability to add your ferry pass to the app PLUS it tracks how many uses are left! No more frantic searching through photos or texts for the picture of your ferry pass! The premium delay predictions are very helpful for the perpetually delayed San Juan’s.
  • Losing features to subscription model.

    I liked the app but features are being put behind a subscription paywall. I think ad revenue was a better choice with a paid “pro” option instead of a plea for money subscription model.
  • This is great! Love it and find it very helpful.

    I have been riding the ferries since 1959 and this is an amazing and helpful app. We live with lots Of changes and cancellations so this app has helped us and we are very appreciative.
  • Feature regression

    Favoriting a route is now a paid feature. I understand the need to monetize the app for development, but it would've made sense to introduce new features for the upsell, instead of removing basic functionality to force upgrades. The latest update gives a bad customer experience and undermines trust.
  • Super useful, but bring back the animation!

    Ferry Friend is basically essential if you use the Puget Sound ferries. The app is easy to use, and provides multifaceted information in an easy-to-use manner. HOWEVER. As of the new update & redesign, they have removed the beloved ferry-loading animation!! I would love to have it (at least in the settings like it used to be).
  • Nice Update

    Have been using this app for years. Our go to app to go to ferry destinations. A must have for ferry dependent travelers. The Water Taxi addition is very nice.
  • 5.0 Is Terrible

    I have loved this app for years, and it's saved me a lot of headache as someone new to the area when I first used it. The new update is full of invasive microtransactional bloat. Why does it need and keep asking for my location? Why is the favorite route option now locked behind a subscription service? The routes are much harder to navigate to, and the readability of the app is gone with all the UI changes. If the creator needs more support, then ask for it. Turning people's generosity into a near requirement to use the app normally is malicious. Really disappointed.
