Join the iOS beta Android coming soonAlerts are part of the one-time $6.99 unlock in the free Seattle Drawbridges app. It watches the five bridges Seattle publishes and sends a push the minute one you follow goes up. Checks run every two minutes, so it can lag a little. Turn on a second alert if a bridge stays up past 15, 20 or 30 minutes, the point where taking the other bridge starts to win.
Ballard Bridge, Fremont Bridge, Montlake Bridge, First Avenue South Bridge, South Park Bridge. University Bridge and Southwest Spokane Street Bridge have no live feed, so no alert can exist for them. The app says so instead of pretending.
Off for an hour, for the rest of the morning, or for a week. Alerts never fire while paused and pick up on their own afterward.
A push token, the bridges you chose and your alert settings, stored on the MileCheck server so it can notify you. Turn alerts off and they are removed. Your location never leaves the phone.
Within about two minutes. That is how often the feed is checked.
No. Seattle publishes no live status for it, and an alert without a feed would be a guess.
No. Alerts are by bridge, not by location. Your location is used only on the map on your phone and never sent anywhere.
Free: every Seattle drawbridge, its opening rule, and live up or down status for the five the city publishes. $6.99, once, unlocks the rest: a push when a bridge you chose goes up and another if it stays up 15, 20 or 30 minutes, the lift history MileCheck keeps for each bridge, and four more colour schemes. No subscription, no account, no ads. Your location stays on your phone.
