Connections
Connections app is the best App Store application for searching transport connection between two places in the Czech Republic*. If you are connected to the internet or not this app is very useful when you are traveling.
Connections needs to be connected to the internet to search the best transport type, but you can save results locally on the disk and view them later, when you are offline. This is very handy feature!
Connections supports train, bus, planes ** and combination of train and bus. It is available worldwide in all App Store and costs only $2.99. This amount can save your time later.
Designed for the best using
Connections app was designed primary for really easy controlling. This is very important since when you are traveling you don’t have much time. It starts with smart saving, so app remember your last search. The main screen is clean and shows mainly connections results.
Other great feature is called hint stations. Because it is not easy to remember the whole station name, Connections show stations names according your current input.
Map features
If you are curios where are the stations located, you can show stations on the map. Because, there is no official database of stations, application uses smart algorithm to showing them on the map. However, sometimes, it is not able to find all stations, so you will be notified, which stations are not shown.
And here user comes to word. You can do your own searches in the map too! Just touch search button and search places in the map!
It is not possible to have always the best cell signal or the fastest internet connections. So it is important to optimize app for slow connection.
App show only the first result and then it immediately starts to find next results. Meanwhile you can browse and look into connection you already have. So you don’t have to wait until all your five results will be available.
And map also stores downloaded data, so you can view map event without internet connection!
Each connection has its own details. You can view it by tapping on the small blue arrow. You will see details about connection and statistic.
But there are more functions! You can copy connection details into clipboard and directly send text message to your friend or you can send an e-mail! Now you never have to remember and rewrite connection details!
Or you can be redirected directly to the Safari web browser and do your search on the main site.
Detail view
App is available in the czech and english language. You can set highlighting time, so the first connections will be highlighted. You can set number of connections you want to see at once or turn of stations hint.
Optimized for slow data connection
Saving connections
Your results can be saved by the two ways. The first option is to save your results directly as they are, so you can view them anywhere and anytime. The second option is online mode.
