Hate getting to the terminal on time, only to find out the ferry just filled up? Quickly find out how busy BC Ferries is today, and whether or not you'll make the sailing you want. This app collects usage data from BC Ferries, forecasting how fast sailings are filling up. It will even tell you when you need to leave where you are in order to beat the crowd and make the boat without waiting at the terminal for longer than necessary.

This application has a trial mode that will let you use all of the features of the application for one week.

V1.0 was released on October 28th, 2010.

•Added terminal information and schedules for Comox-Powell River (no current condition information is available)

V1.2 was released on April 7th, 2011. It incorporates the following (minor) changes:
