Hi, I just released a London public transit journey planner app - Pubtran London. You'll find it on the Market. Can you try it and give some feedback?
FEATURES
Intelligent autocomplete with all London stops / stations
Easy to use and neat interface
...more coming later, this is the first version
This is based on my "Pubtran" app (journey planner for Czech Republic, #4 top rated on appbrain.com). I want to create versions for more cities / countries in the future, if you are a developer willing to cooperate on this, please let me know. I'm working on making it really easy for developers to add support for other public transit networks.
Hi there,
Just installed the program. I am guessing the lack of stations is because it is still in beta.
I like the interface, simple is nice.
However, I get constant FC on my Samsung Galaxy i9000. So i cannot fully test the program .
@benG1
Thanks for trying it! What stations are missing and when do you get the FCs? I know that when you enter a station that is not in the autocomplete list, it usually crashes.
I will fix that obviously but I think that users would rarely enter the whole station manually - they would select it from the autocomplete (if it's there of course).
BTW are you from London?
Oh wait my bad. All stations are there. Just only the stations beginning with a are shown in dropdown box with no input into search box which is what confused me.
Fc's when i click find journey...
And yes i am from London but in newcastle at the moment.
Hope this helps.

The newest version from the Market should fix some crashing issues.
But there is still one bug - it crashes when you enter stop name that contains apostrophe (').
I was asking if you are from London to find out if nearest stop suggestions are working but now I know it doesn't...
Just downloaded the new one.
For some reason, even though I am in Newcastle it gave me my 2 nearest stations back home... whether or not that is because I put in my station last time.
But gave me the correct route, just some buses came up as D...what does that mean? Rail replacement?
Otherwise, gives good routes and such. Looking good, potential app for me to use at home
The stops are sorted based on several factors - previous use, time of previous use, importance (tube stations are more importnt than bus stops) and geo distance. So the 2 were suggested because you used them previously.
What is bus D - I don't know too , probably replacement.
Looking good then, just the apostrophe issue and i say good to go! Loving the simplistic theme so please dont change .
Simplicity is one of my top priorities, so you don't need to worry
But I guess it'll take some time before final release is ready - there are still some minor issues and I want to add some features (search options, add to calendar etc).
Definitely has more stations than any other existing app on the market.
The interface is very simple, which I like, but it takes time to realise what means what. I mean like how the transfers are marked, etc. Maybe you could include some help with the app or starting overview.
And the only visual bug I've noticed on my Nexus One is that if the station name is too long, it goes under delete button and looks a bit messy. I think the button should have a white background, so that it hides text under it.
@Karolis
How should I modify (or completely change) the results to be more understandable? Also please have a look here: hhttp://ui.stackexchange.com/q/2270/1565
The visual bug - it will be fixed in the final version.
Any other feedback is always welcomed!
(deleted my duplicate post)
I think the results are easy to understand imho.

I don't think you should necessarily change anything. It's just that I was used to some other apps, and it took a good couple looks to get used to this one, but when I did, I just love the simplicity.
What I'd like to see in this app is a bit more advanced planning options, so that I could exclude some modes of transportation. So let's say I want to travel only by bus, I should exclude everything else.
@Karolis
Search options are definitely coming in the future (departure/arrival time, modes of transport - bus/tube/tram/... etc). I'll probably leave the layout unchanged for now.
Nice, but needs more functionality
I like it, but it could do with some more functionality.
Likes:
Nice clean interface
Ability to see the endpoint of transit
Could do with:
Ability to record home and bookmark other destinations
Ability to get geolocation
Transit maps
One of the other London transit apps I use is London Journey, which offers a lot more to me than something like this to be honest.
@adesweb
Ability to record home and bookmark other destinations - I don't think this is needed. The autocomplete dropdown suggests stops that you have used before.
Ability to get geolocation - This is not working for some reason, I can't test that as I'm not from London...
Transit maps - I will add that sometimes.
London Journey app - I hope my app will be better eventually
New version on the market:
* Option to choose departure or arrival time
* New icon
* Minor visual changes
* Nearest stops suggestions should work now
* Improved stops list
* Fixed crash with stops, that contain apostrophe
What should be in the next release?
Downloaded the new version.
Not a fan of the new icon, but minor details.
Like the new journey interface, looks nice and still easy to read. Apostrophe crash sorted on my phone too.
Next release, choose bus or train, direct route/fastest route/less congested route etc? Dont go through station or dont use certain transport ^_^
Try version 1.0 from the Market. What's new:
* Advanced search options
* Route details with traffic disruptions
* New icon (again)
* Visual changes
* All National Rail stations in the UK included
* You can enter postcodes as departure / arrival
I think it's the best app for journey planning now
Any feedback is appreciated.
This is my first post here, so let me say Hello to all of you.
I have developed an application for monitoring sport activities with a unique feature - detecting and counting laps in real time.
It's in the Market, you can find it when you search for "lap detection" and choose Activity Assistant.
Program uses two different methods for detecting laps.
HORIZONAL LAP occurs when you return to a place already visited in this session or come near this place. On the settings screen you can choose the accuracy of the lap detection. During long winter I frequently do ice skating and I was always wondering how many laps I did on a session.
VERTICAL LAPS are the number of ascents and descents done so far. Great tool for skiers who want to know how many pistes they did a day (like myself).
In addition to LAPS COUNTER there is a classical computer which shows speed, distance and other geo info.
The track can be recorded in a gpx file and/or displayed on the map. Track files are stored on the SD card.
I know, that it needs some improvement in both functionality and the interface quality (it's v. 1.0). I'm just courious if it could be of any use to anyone. If yes, please send me your comments/requests/etc .

I worked for a long time on this, so I'd really appreciate some feedback.
Fature, based on published scientific research (bwsimulator.niddk.nih.gov/Hall_Lancet_Webappendix.pdf), predicts your future weight based on what you've eaten in the last 24 hours. You enter the name of what you're, which is then found in the FDA database to obtain carbohydrate/fat/protein content. This information is used to mathematically model how the user's body weight will change if they eat this average diet (daily) for the next year.
Fature displays a graphic illustration of weight loss/gain, comparing initial weight to the projected weight.
THIS IS NOT A DIET APP. USING COMMON SENSE IS ADVISED.
**Other Features**
- Users can also add custom foods to the database, which can be accessed at a later time.
- Helps people understand how what they eat will affect their weight.
- Shows change on a week-by-week basis
- Uses initial weight, height, age, gender, and physical activity level at work and during exercise
**COMING SOON**
- Facebook and Twitter integration
- Custom time ranges
- Access foods entered by other people (if there are enough downloads to fund a server)
- Custom serving size
- Track exercise
**NOTES**
- This app is based on the FDA database, which may not reflect the latest information from commercial vendors.
- This will not work for young children.
- The FDA database contains a lot of information, so there will be a wait (~2 minutes) when the app is run for the first time after installation.

Hi everyone,
I just released version 1.03 of picoPark which optimizes offline behaviour (when no internet connection is available), fixes some small bugs and introduces general code optimizations. It would be great if you could let me know what you think about my app, I am still struggeling to get more downloads.

What is StuffKeeper?
It's an app that makes storing and finding things easy - things that you don't use often, but that can come in handy at any moment.
For example: tools, seasonal clothes, various accessories, spare parts, household items, etc.
We often misplace such things because we don't remember where we put them or who we gave them to. The search for these things can take a long time, and sometimes we just buy the new ones.
Stuff Keeper not only helps you find and store your stuff - it also saves your money!
