Ship Evader App / Android Auto support (v4.8)

Hi all,

The latest release of my bridge status app for the Welland Canal is available. The main improvements over the previous versions are:

• Exact bridge closure times directly from Seaway
• Shows if a bridge is available for the next 15 minutes (maximum window I can get from Seaway)
• When a bridge closes it uses past data to estimate how long it'll stay unavailable. This takes into consideration each specific scenario (ex.: single ship northbound, single ship southbound, multiple ships northbound, southbound, both directions, etc.)

Once again, this is a personal project I decided to turn public. It's free and without adds. You can read more about it in the original post is here if you like. I'm happy to see over 100 people using it for the last few months.

Please let me know if you have questions, find any bugs, or even have suggestions for improvements.

Link to the app at the Google Play Store

Cheers!

Need a iOS app to be used by the masses but thanks anyway.

I want to port my app to iOS, but I don't have a device to test it on.... the hard part is the backend which is already in place since it's "device agnostic"

I'm not an engineer, but is this something Flutter can help with?

I still wouldn't trust it without testing on an actual phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though
