Transit Made Smooth and Simple

It doesn't matter if you are a daily commuter or just use public transit in Chicago from time-to-time; an app like this can certainly help make the trip easier and smoother. As long as you have a WiFi connection you can use this app to find schedules and they will even be stored in your device for easy and quick look-up. This app is actually getting quite a bit of attention and press thanks to the ease of use and the features offered.

The best Detroit apps for iPhone

The app requires iOS 7.0 or later in order to use. It hasn't been updated in quite a few months now, with the last update enhancing the performance and the fact it was redesigned for iOS 7. Unfortunately the app doesn't have especially high customer ratings, getting just 2.5 out of five stars from users. It seems as though the app still needs to do some more updates, enhancing, or adding more features/tools to make its users happy.

 

Features Included

There are a number of features included in the app meant to make life easy; unfortunately, they still seem to be missing the mark. Taking a look at what you do get is a handy station finder, point-to-point information along your route, a trip planner that can help you organize your time, and you can schedule updates through the iTransitBuddy Sync Service. View information on connections and transfers, check out the Transit Agency Twitter feed, and mark stations as favorites.

Best iphone and ipad apps

The user interface is quite clean and simple, if a bit dull. The information is easy to read and access but it just feels as though it is missing something, perhaps some interactive features or something that just makes the app more engaging overall. Transit apps such as these always have a need; it’s just a matter of finding the right combination of features and tools that are reliable and accurate.

Final Thoughts
