DESCRIPTION:	App Store statistics: The 12th best selling travel app! Top of the iTunes travel "New and Noteworthy" section A multi-platform live departures application for London Underground and DLR trains. Q. What advantages does your app have over other Tube apps? All of the apps on the App Store do not do anything more than either relay TfL's API data, scrape TfL's website or scrape the DLR Daisy website. Although these are the best sources of information, they only update (roughly) every 30 seconds, and the data is often incomplete or malformed. We have a server that collects all of the information from the API (i.e. every station prediction/summary) simultaneously, and the information from DLR Daisy. As the stations don't get updated at the same time, but contain redundant information, we are able to get fresh information every (roughly) 5 seconds by piecing all of the predictions together. We also do a lot of other stuff, like: We have departure boards for every tube and DLR station (e.g. observe that at Mile End, other apps have no information for the District line), Sensible destination rewriting, (e.g. none of the trains have "Piccadilly Line Train" as their destination in Tube Tracker), No malformed information (e.g. the DLR Daisy website is pretty bad and often outputs gibberish). Innovative train details screen - shows each train's stops, including how many minutes to each station. Works on all versions (including first generations) of iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. No need to purchase separate versions! We also have a web version at TubeTracker.co.uk

DESCRIPTION:	NOTE: This app has been replaced by "Curatr for iPad" Curatr was made with the new generation of smart touch interfaces in mind When you are properly engaged in a Social Learning experience you need to get access to your community wherever you are; its why we made Mobile a key feature of Curatr from the start. For Apple devices, such as the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, we have developed a specialist App which your users can download and install. The App presents users with a bespoke interface which is both intuitive and innovative. Our unique visualisation approach makes it easy to handle huge amounts of information, even on the small screen. For Android devices, Curatr works out-of-the-box. As Curatr is a Flash application, your phones (from version 2.2) are ready-made Learning Environments when coupled with Curatr. By allowing your users to Connect with their learning community on the move, you bring a whole new world of utility to your Learning. The app is somewhat updatable without resubmitting to Apple as the content is all retrieved from our API.
