Pros and cons of London Tube Map and Guide app for iPhone and iPad
London Tube Map and Guide app good for
This is a wonderful app for getting around Londons tube system. We used it on my iPod to get around on the tube during a two week vacation in the city. The route finder function which is still in beta works very well but is not quite perfect. The best thing about the app is that it does not require a network connection so it works well even when underground.
I tried two other Tube guides during our stay in London. This was the best. Provided several options for each route. And as long as I was tapped into the Internet via wifi, I received current service updates.
A great app comes in really handy even if you live in London as I do. Trying to find a new location to live but the main concern is traveling to work? Well this app will be invaluable. Time to throw away that paper tattered and torn map that the nice man at the station gave you an step into technology.
We are on holiday from the US and found this a great assist in finding our way around London!
Im surprised this doesnt have more reviews. This is the best tube map app for London!
Just returned from a week in London and used the Tube each day. This app would have saved a lot of confusion had we had it while in London. No worries next time.
Some bad moments
The route planner part of the app was poor:
1. It generated routes that included current closures (as shown by this app)
2. It generated indirect routes that missed the obvious direct routes
3. Lacks faster overground services that are part of the zone/oyster system, e.g Fenchurch Street based trains in east London
