Description
A perfect utility for the Washington State traveler, nextboat strives to make life easier one ferry ride at a time. Commuters and ferry enthusiasts alike can keep on top of the latest ferry-system status to make voyages as smooth and profound as Puget Sound on a windless day.
nextboat sports a homescreen widget and seven different views into the Washington State Ferry (WSF) system to accomplish a number of tasks:
* view ferry schedules based on favorite terminals and routes. * receive notifications when your favorite routes are delayed. * select favorite terminals or routes to reduce visual clutter. * view ferry cameras and current sailing space for your favorite terminals. * use the vesselwatch view for current vessel locations and status, * use the vessels view to learn obscure historical and technical facts about the WSF fleet. * use the alerts view for access to WSF tweets, alerts and bulletins * use the WSF links view for convenient access points to the WSF web site. * use the anchor view for in-app help and usage tips.
nextboat relies upon internet access to WSF servers to obtain up-to-date status information. We employ caching strategies to improve responsiveness and reliability, but capabilities are impaired when internet access is unavailable.

Sometimes you get more than what you pay for. This app rocks and we'll worth the nominal price. Had been using a free app for years, but support disappeared when WSF API apparently changed so the app was sadly useless. But that loss enabled me to find this much better solution! Will strongly recommend it. Note to devs- you may wish to consider the ETA map feature the other app had (used Google maps to establish user position and chosen terminal to prove ETA). Very, very useful.

These devs ferry ... Great for WSF commuters. I was surprised and pleased to see an Android version, and dis not hesitate to purchase. I have been using the WSDOT app, which is ok for what it is, but nextboat customizations like favorites and notifications are real improvements. I am having trouble with the widget in Nova launcher, but I will fuss around with it a little to see what I am doing weong.

I live on Vashon Island, and rely on this app. No ads. No BS. Just works.
