Ratings and Reviews
No zoom
As mentioned by others, the timetables can't be zoomed and are useless, showing that the developers haven't even tried it out on all iPhone versions. There is a workaround however... Taking a screenshot (by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously) sends it to the photo app, where zooming (by 'pinching') means normal humans (i.e. non-developers) can finally read the desired information. Otherwise, not fit for purpose, two stars only for having up-to-date status info.
No Longer Functional
This App used to be perfect for those of us living on remote islands and travelling to the mainland regularly but not any more. Recently, as part of some update or other, the ability to rotate and expand the screen has been taken away meaning that, on a phone in particular, it is only possible to read the timetable info with a magnifying glass! Don't the App developers ever test these Apps before they release them? I suspect it is a callous disregard for anyone over middle age who doesn't have 20/20 vision. It might be worth the twenty-something developers stopping to realise that they too will inevitably suffer the inconvenience of deteriorating eyesight one day and design their Apps accordingly. More importantly, the functionality used to be there, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Handy
I’m writing this review just because the only other review I can see is outdated and it deserves better feedback.
This app is handy, I’ll use it to check what times sailings are but I will go online to book tickets. I’ll then use the app again before sailing to check status updates on the ferry I’m booked onto.
I can zoom in to timetables. I find it very easy to use. I think this is a decent app.
