BorderWatcher +, like the basic BorderWatcher version, is designed to provide all the information (waiting time, camera, end-of-line coordinates, number of vehicles in the line, etc.) at European border crossing points in one place that can help you decide where should to go, if you have to go abroad.
Each border crossing is color coded depending on how loaded it is. There is no significant waiting for dark green, while for dark red you have to wait more than 4 hours.
Users can post their experiences of where the wait was, backed up with a picture or a short text message to see which line was going best.
For authenticity, you can sign in and post using a Google or Facebook account.
If there is no information from the user within a given hour, the background system will retrieve the information provided on the official border police pages and mark it so that it can be distinguished, as these are for information purposes only, do not always cover the reality!
In order to have the most accurate data possible, you need to post how long it took to cross the border. Over the years, more countries have been added to the app such as (Hungary, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Germany, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Northern Macedonia, Greece, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Kosovo)
