What does FerryOrNot do?

It compares taking the ferry against driving all the way around — timed door to door — using live Washington State Ferries schedules, delays, and drive-up space, plus current traffic. It tells you which is faster, when to leave, and whether you’ll make the next boat.

How much does it cost?

FerryOrNot starts with a 7-day free trial, then $1.49/month or $14.99/year (US; local pricing shown in the app). Payment is charged to your Apple Account; the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

On your iPhone: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → FerryOrNot, then change plan or cancel. You can also open the app and go to Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription. Canceling stops future renewals; you keep access through the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

How do I restore my subscription on a new device?

Sign in with the same Apple ID, open FerryOrNot, and tap Restore purchases on the subscription screen (or in Settings → Subscription).

Why does it ask for my location?

Location is used to estimate your drive time to the ferry terminal and, optionally, to remind you as you approach a terminal. When you commit to a sailing, the app may ask for “Always” access so it can keep watching your drive while the app is closed. All of this runs on your phone; no location is sent to Chowen Labs. You can limit or turn it off in iOS Settings. See our Privacy Policy.

Is the ferry data official?

Schedules, vessel status, and drive-up space come from WSDOT / Washington State Ferries; traffic comes from Apple Maps.

FerryOrNot gives estimates, not guarantees. Schedules, delays, space counts, fares, and leave-by times come from third-party data that can be wrong or late, and conditions change. Always check WSDOT/WSF directly and allow a margin. Chowen Labs is not responsible for missed sailings, schedule changes, or fare differences.

FerryOrNot is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Washington State Ferries or WSDOT.
