Get the Manx Wire app

Add Manx Wire to your phone in a few seconds.

You're reading this inside another app (such as Facebook or Instagram), which can't add Manx Wire to your home screen. Open the ⋯ or share menu and choose Open in browser (or Open in Safari), then follow the steps below.

What you get

• One tap from your home screen, full screen, like any other app.
• Live buses on the map, and every Bus Vannin timetable with the next bus highlighted.
• Ferries and flights: sailing updates, the airport board and tracking links.
• Works with no signal: pages you've opened and the bus timetables you've looked at are saved on your phone.
• Island news, weather, surf forecasts, tides and the shipping forecast, updated through the day.

Is it safe?

Yes. The app is this website, saved to your phone: it needs no account and asks for no permissions, and you can remove it like any other app. See our privacy notice.
