User Reviews

User reviews are mixed. Many say the app is helpful for planning border crossings, with features like multiple ports, maps, and webcam previews. However, chronic reliability concerns dominate: wait times are frequently inaccurate or outdated, sometimes by hours; some ports and pedestrian lane information is misleading; and mislabeled crossings reduce usefulness. Several users report slow responses or the app not updating in real time. Despite the flaws, a subset of travelers still rely on it for planning, hoping for improvements in data accuracy and update frequency.
Pros
  • Helps plan border crossings by providing wait estimates and lane options (Ready Lane vs regular).
  • Provides information for multiple border crossings and nearby ports, including maps and webcams to preview traffic.
  • Easy-to-use interface that is useful for frequent travelers and business trips.
Cons
  • Wait times are often inaccurate or not up-to-date, sometimes off by hours.
  • Data appears outdated; some reviews note no updates in years.
  • Lane availability and Ready Lane (pedestrian) information is unreliable or misleading.
  • Borders/port labels are misidentified or incorrect at times.
  • App performance issues such as freezing or slow refreshing.

I have used this app for years, and it continues to get worse every day. Now you cannot find port of entries listed! Blank! I deleted the app and reinstalled it, and it's still blank! It has not been updated in four years, as far as I know!
