Ferries - BC Ferries Schedules for Android
Helpful to see schedules and how full the sailings may be. It would be great if you could also see the service notices for the routes such as delays or cancelled sailings because of weather or mechanical issues.
I have used the app a few times but the last time I found the ferry times between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale to be different than what is on the BC Ferries website. No point in using an app and having to double check the website each time.
The app works well to show all the ferry options by port but one of the best features of the app no longer seems to work. It doesn't show any longer what the pre-departure loads are. That feature was very good and should be added back.
This app is showing me nothing...was hoping it would be a quick way to find ferry times but there isn't even an option for that.
Will or when will they allow debt payment??,as ur app were it asks what's on my mind hmmm no one on ur side answers
%full no longer works
Works
Great features, like favourite routes for quick access. But needs a link to a fare chart. As an Island campground marketing coordinator, our guests want to know the bottom line cost to ride the ferries first, and the app doesn't have or doesn't have an easy to launch link to fare info. When you are deciding to spend over $600 return for a full sized truck, 30' 5th wheel RV and family of 4 with a reservation fee, you want a quick calculation for your bottom line. Keep working on it please!
Payed for it and the schedule doesn't work and it still gives me ads... want my money back!
I can't get it to work at all on my Android phone. Doesn't show any schedules.
Percentage full doesn't always come up, which is annoying.
Can't get ferry times. Waste of space
Needs improve. Lots
Unreliable
Can not rely on this app because it is not regularly updated with the new schedules. Swartz Bay to Fulford Harbour sched is still not updated after 2 weeks.
I like the app because it helps me plan my day knowing which ferries I need to catch. The only thing that I can see would make it better is if it could tell people about delays in the schedules. If you added that feature, my rating would be 5 star :)
This app lists completely different departure times than their website does for the Fulford harbor route. Not exactly unexpected... This is BC ferries after all. This almost seriously screwed up a very important appointment. I think I'll use their competitor's service next time. Oh wait, I can't, they have a monopoly.
The only thing I would like to see changed is that the app doesn't seem to be aware of what the current day is. The "Next sailing" is frequently for the wrong day. Otherwise, great job, Kerplunc! Update: the current version is date aware, and you can select a specific date and see only the sailings on that date. Very nice!
I think times on this app are on "best effort basis" which means you don't want to rely on it unless you don't mind waiting 2 hours for the next ferry.
Lists wrong sailing times. Arrived just as a ferry was leaving(which wasn't even listed here) and the ferry time I was here for didn't exist.
Easy to customize to the routes you use and can be flipped to show the route either way.
Fulford sailings haven't been updated dated in months.
Schedule for March 27 is wrong!! Please double check..
It's exactly what it says it is. No problems using it.
The percent full stats are unreliable and remain static for any day chosen on a particular route. These values are important to me hence low rating.
Works great, I use it a lot..
I can plan my trip
Good to see available schedule but does not give current conditions
Like it but it could say if the ferries are on time or delayed.
On the route I use most the schedule is not even close to the right times. And when I tried to report it the support keeped failing.
So helpful!
Thanks for this!
Takes me all the way to the schedules and then...nothing! Blank page!
Just says"Unfortunately BC Ferries has crashed. "
name the Island aswell as the Harbour
Useless ... twitter for current conditions., really!
Sunshine coast routes show up as salt spring island. Not reliable.
This is a very bare-bones HTML5 app. Looks like it was written with PhoneGap. While it does tell you departure times and embeds the BC Ferries twitter feed for current conditions, it is much less useful than a shortcut to the BC Ferries mobile site. Uninstalled.
From what I've tried, it loads up schedules just fine for some routes, but the one route that I'm interested in, Horseshoe Bay-Langdale, causes a crash when I try to view it.

I find this useful as I travel ferries often. Glitch- Harriott Bay - Whaletown Scheduals conflicting timings. Too many sailings at once! There is only one ferry and it can't leave 5 min after itself. Can this get fixed asap! Then I could go maybe 5 stars. THANKS
