2. City Mapper Available for Android, iOS
City Mapper is an app that I feel is similar to
something I will be creating. With a focus on just
London, and getting from A to B, this app has features
I will be incorporating into my own work. With a
colour format that is constant throughout this is
something I will also be looking at when making my
own app.
3. National Rail Enquiries – Available
for Android, iOS
For frequent train travellers across the
UK, this app is good for, up-to-date rail
information. National Rail Enquiries lets
you track specific trains, find out about
possible disruptions to your journey
(via push notifications), and re-plan
your journey on the go. This app even
covers ticket prices at a glance for the
budget-minded traveller, although
ticket purchasing is made via third-
party websites.
This is something I will consider also
when creating my app.
4. London Transport Live – Available for
Android
Similar to Citymapper, London Transport Live is
an app that does pretty much what its title
suggests – it allows you to get live arrival
information for the different modes of London
transport, including buses, Tube, Overground,
DLR and ferries. There’s also a paid-for version
of this app, which is available for £1.49.
This is something my app will have, although
this will be tricky to do as it would need a lot of
work to make sure it constantly works
5. Uber
Although this app doesn’t have anything to do
with mine as it’s a taxi app, I like it’s user
involvement, constantly keeping the user
involved. I also like it’s colour schemes and
simplistic layouts.
6. Hailo – Available for Android, iOS
Hailo Is similar to Uber. It’s basically an
app which allows it’s users to order cabs
straight from there phone. Although my
app doesn’t have any thing to do with
taxis I like it’s constant live feed, much
like ubers.
