Hôpital de Matane
The app is free to download and everything inside it is free too: the wait times, the clinics, the surgery lists, one ER's last seven days with the hours it is usually quietest, and your own ERs pinned to the top of the list. No subscription, nothing left to unlock.

When to go
Between 7 am and 10 am. The window was picked without seeing the day it was tested on, then scored against that day’s own average: it won on 100 % of the 6 days measured, with 2.7 fewer people in the waiting room on average (this ER’s own mean: 5.7).
Calmest day: Monday (1.5 waiting). Busiest: Tuesday (6.7). The gap is 5.3 people.
An average is not a forecast, and an emergency is not something you schedule. The number at the top of this page is still the only reading for today. Method and data: the hour test, the files.

The iPhone app

It opens from an icon, no address to type. And whatever you loaded last is still there when the signal drops, which it does in most hospital basements.
The app is free to download and everything inside it is free too: the wait times, the clinics, the surgery lists, one ER's last seven days with the hours it is usually quietest, and your own ERs pinned to the top of the list. No subscription, nothing left to unlock.
On the App Store it is called "Urgences Québec: temps attente".
