I’ve been using this app for quite a while, and it has been one of my most frequently used apps! This app has become an essential tool for my commutes between Juárez and El Paso. Before finding this app, I often relied on border wait times posted online, only to discover they were highly inaccurate. Many times, I ended up waiting 30-70 minutes longer than what is posted on the City of El Paso International Bridges website. Since switching to this app, I’ve been able to plan my commutes and schedule with much more confidence because the wait times are consistently accurate and reliable. One of my favorite recent additions is the map feature. The “Go Now” button takes me directly to the border and shows how long it will take to get there from my current location, all without having to open a separate maps app. I also really appreciate how organized and user-friendly the app is. Everything is easy to find, and I never had trouble navigating it. If you regularly cross the border, this app is a must-have. It has saved me tremendous amount of time, reduced uncertainty, and made planning my trips much easier!
