Visual Tube Watch - London Underground Status app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Frostmd LLP
First release : 22 Apr 2015
App size: 12.48 Mb
Includes support for Apple Watch - see the current London Tube service status in a Glance and see full service information on your wrist (including Overground, DLR, TfL Rail and Trams).
The Tube status boards usually show a "Good Service" on all lines.
However, when they dont and something has gone wrong, sometimes its not easy to visualise where the problems are occurring.
Visual Tube Watch aims to help you with this by supplying an illustrative map in a similar style to the familiar the Tube Map for service incidents, showing you with a picture, that, for example, the District line has severe delays between Turnham Green and Richmond, or there is a signal failure at Caledonian Road.
Although we have observed hundreds of problem combinations, we have drawn and are building the most popular into the App as time goes on. If we dont have a map for automatic download from iCloud, or cant draw a representation on your device, well still show you the textual explanation for the problems!
Plus, there is a Today Widget so that you can quickly see the "rainbow" board from your Today view in Notification Centre!
Please note that the App requires data access - Wi-Fi is available at 150 London Underground stations and at over 56 London Overground stations.
