## Review summary

Users find BorderApp previously helpful but now unreliable after recent updates. Accurate wait times are the primary need, which the app fails to deliver consistently. Many report incorrect wait estimates, loading issues, and lack of live camera feeds. The app only covers USA and Canada borders, and users criticize false advertising related to features like video feeds. Despite these issues, some consider it better than alternatives.

### Pros

- Previously provided useful border wait information
- Better than some other border wait apps
- Supported USA and Canada border crossings

### Cons

- Wait times are often inaccurate and unreliable
- App frequently stuck on searching or shows errors for live cameras
- Limited support only to USA and Canada crossings
- False advertising of features such as live video for busiest crossings
- Recent updates caused degradation in app functionality
