## Review summary

Direct Ferries’ app is useful for searching and comparing ferry options but is marred by high pricing, missing in-app tickets, poor customer service, and frequent booking/cancellation glitches, making it unreliable for actual travel reservations despite good discovery features.

### Pros

- Efficient search and comparison of ferry options (times and fares).
- Useful for discovering multiple ferry options in one place.
- App generally works fine for basic tasks (viewing/browsing bookings).

### Cons

- Higher prices and nonrefundable fees compared to official ferry sites.
- In-app tickets are often not issued or visible; you must use port or operator to obtain tickets.
- Poor customer support and difficulty contacting the company; slow responses and limited assistance.
- Cancellations/changes are mishandled or blocked; refunds are often partial or unavailable.
- App reliability issues and glitches (buttons not working, crashes, difficulties modifying bookings).
