Long standing bugs need to be fixed.

1. Dim the screen when switching off the app from showing your pass. 2. Never log someone out when they have an activated pass, it does it at the wrong time when trying to board a boat. 3. Use your own FQDN instead of ByteMarks


To many bugs
Marc2473

The app constantly logs you out and at times when attempting to purchase a ticket it says no products available. Very frustrating!! ??


I wish it work more consistently
Freedlyuser

App is great when it works. However, often, it cannot connect to the server and you stuck in line buying tickets missing your ride. Lately it seems to happen more often. Annoying.


Excellent service, flakey app
IzzetA

There isn’t a more civilized way to cross the river than with a regular, consistent, fast, comfortable, service that is not susceptible to traffic and tunnel/bridge vagaries than with NY Waterways. The however, is the opposite. And when it doesn’t work, the crew members have been told not to give passengers the benefit of the doubt.


Great alternative to paper ticket
lizardBBB

I like that I can purchase tickets via phone. This way, I don’t have to give myself extra time to go purchase the ticket from the counter. As another reviewer wrote, it does randomly log you out at times.


Slugish and hangs frequently
Eged168

Kill the App and make a slim web site. App that doesn’t work is worse than not having one at all.


Readability
Too Much Man

Can’t zoom the text, so I cannot read schedules even with glasses.


Bus locator needs work.
CJ11Eleven

App bus locations are often different than the website bus locations. Bus indicator arrows sometimes just “disappear” from the app map. So you may be rushing out to end up trying to catch a phantom bus and having to wait 25 mins for the next one.


Log out and cannot log back in on the worst times
Dana_ragdoll

Concur with the rating, it logs ppl out at worst times, even when you have the app signed on a min ago. And it logs you out in your face.


Bus Locator now useless
Fzaw

Locator no longer shows your position relative to where you are vs bus route. Also not accurate as to where bus is or which route is shown. What once worked now doesn’t
