## Description

Track the Washington State Ferries, B.C. Ferries, Coho, Victoria Clipper, SeaBus, King County Water Taxi and other pacific northwest ferries in real-time. This is an easy to use app that allows you to quickly see where the ferries are located. Ferry icons are large and animated and show direction arrows. You don't need to know how to read a navigational chart to use this app!

Push Alerts! Now get the latest alerts pushed directly to your mobile device. No more email alerts or text alerts. Get them all in one simple app.

There are lots of other apps out there that show similar WSF information, but their interfaces are cumbersome. If you want to know the ferry locations, launch this app and voila. One more tap and you can see the upcoming departures in a table view. 

If you want lots of other information, the WSDOT app is a great resource. I recommend installing both if you are frequent WSF traveler. 

This app is not affiliated with WSDOT, B.C. Ferries or any other ferry operator.

## Review summary

Users praise Vessel Watch for its attractive UI and usefulness to daily ferry commuters when it runs. A dominant issue is that the app no longer works on newer iOS versions and needs an update, with several reviews noting long gaps in maintenance. Some users also report missing data like departure/docking times, reducing practicality, and a few device-specific UI quirks have been noted.

### Pros

- Attractive, clean, and user-friendly interface.
- Useful for daily ferry commuters; converts public ferry data into an easy-to-use view (including auto traffic).
- Generally well-received by users when the app runs and provides value.

### Cons

- App does not work on current iOS versions and appears to require an update; multiple reviews report compatibility issues.
- Missing essential ferry information such as actual vessel departure times (and docking times), limiting usefulness for commuting.
- Device-specific UI quirks reported by some users (e.g., scrambled settings on certain iPhone models).
