Additional cities
Jan 8th
In building Route411 we needed to make decisions on the list of functionalities to be included. This is typical for any software development cycle. As part of that process we looked at how many people would want to download more than one city right out of the gate. We found through our research in Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver that even though it’s nice to have more than one city, the overwhelming majority of public transit users just wanted their home city.
So as a result, we’ve deferred the ability for a purchase by a Route411 customer of more than one city. This has been added to the wish-list for the next version. Let us know what you think, is this capability important to you?
Offline Caching
Jan 8th
Quality assurance is extremely important to us. Before the launch of Route 411 there was something not quite working so we decided to disable Offline caching for the iPod Touch but not hold back the release of the app. We promised to launch this week, and we are. We are working on ensuring that Offline caching will work to our high standard of functionality in the next update.
Route 411 will still function for iPod Touch users, but they must be connected by wifi for the time being.
We apologize for any inconvenience in the short term.
As always, any Route 411 experience and feature suggestions you have are welcome.
