iOS app “Yahoo! Transit Guide” This is enough navigation app

There are various navigation apps for iPhone, such as transit guides and route searches, but I think "Yahoo! Transit Guide" is the best.

This is the story.

Regular transfer information can be used without any inconvenience.

The basic process of searching by specifying departure, arrival, and transit routes as necessary can be used in the same way as the browser version. ↓

Spot search by location

You can search for spots by entering store names, facility names, phone numbers, etc. in the search bar, or by tapping nearby spots, nearby stations, or registered stations.

Spot search
Select facility

Select a facility and tap "Public transportation" to display the route from your current location.
Additionally, tapping ``Walk'' will launch the ``Yahoo! Maps'' app, and tapping ``Car'' will launch the ``Yahoo! Car Navigation'' app to provide route guidance.

Timetable supports vertical and horizontal display

You can instantly call up the timetable by registering stations and routes.
The display can be displayed both vertically and horizontally.

This makes me really happy.

Receive service information via push notifications

If you register the route, you can call up the service information in an instant.

Operation information

You can also receive push notifications about delays and cancellations.

Commuting timer function to replace “Station.Locky”

I found the app ``Eki.Locky'' to be very useful, because it displays the time until the next train's departure in a countdown format.

However, ``Yahoo! Transit Guide'' also has a similar function called ``Commuting Timer.''

It will display the time until the departure of the next train at the registered station in a countdown format like this.

You can set up to 6 stations each for ``Nearest station to your home'' and ``Nearest station to school/commute.'' ↓
Up to 6 stations can be set

The "commute timer" function can also be displayed in the notification center.

Also displayed in notification center

This is what I thought was better than "Eki.Locky".
This is a big difference because you can check it without starting the app.

Afterword

For this reason, transit information is essential when going on a long trip, and I think ``Commute Timer'' is a great app to use when going out or commuting to work or school.

of Yahoo!'s apps are excellent except for some lame icon designs
