Try finding a good "when's the next bus?" for London on Android, and then tell me that discovery isn't an app consumer problem!

- ancientw 14y agoyou may want to try http://tripease.info/en/ http://tripease.info/en/ disclaimer: i know these guys
- dan_b 14y agoThe problem is, I believe, TFL won't open up their API without charging for it.
- prof_hobart 14y agoIs your issue that they aren't available or that you can't tell which one is good?
- ZoFreX 14y agoThere are far, far too many, and 95% of them are not very good. Even if you wanted to evaluate them all to try them out, this is actually quite hard - my searches start returning a mix of completely unrelated apps and relevant apps after a small number of results.
- prof_hobart 14y agoDon't know what your specific needs are, but I did a quick search and came up with London Transport Live (http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/transportation/london-transport-live_bnnzt.html http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/transportati...), which from a quick play seems to do what I'd expect a transport app to do. I know that the specific app isn't your point - it's more about the general question of discoverability, but I rarely find too much difficulty finding at least one reasonable example of the kind of app I'm searchig for.
