App Summary

If, like many Londoners, you get frustrated by the lack of live information on tube train times then a solution is at hand. A new app has been developed to display trains as they move through the London Underground system. Now you can time your departure from the office or home knowing that the train you’re after will be pulling into the station imminently.

 

The Good

It’s a very simplistic idea that uses the power of algorithms to display the most recent location of trains along the line. Commuting is a painful necessity for many so this useful tool can help make things a little easier to cope with.

 

The Bad

None, if any, issues really. Most commuters would benefit from having this information during their travels. If it could flag up the all-too-common signal failures that blight commutes on a weekly basis then this would be the whole package.

 

Verdict

This really is a tool for the discerning gent who is out and about across London town. He needs to have this app at his disposal at the swipe of a screen.

 

Score: 9/10
