Waykup - App Review



Are you the sort of (train/bus) traveller are you? Do you use the time to work, or rest? If you do then, there is also a certain anxiety that can build up about arriving at your destination and missing the stop because you are asleep, or too engrossed in your work.

This App applies very much in those circumstances.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The screen consists of a map and a search box.

Enter your destination in the search box.

The settings let you choose vibrate, sound, distance units, and the all important destination radius (from 0.5 to 3.0 in increments of 0.5, regardless of units chosen); this is the distance from your arrival point that you want to receive a warning.

Cost
The App is absolutely free.

Indispensability
If you worry about missing your destination, just relax and let the App do the worrying for you, although it is probably not that useful in a car or on foot (it will function though), as the proximity of your destination is too great.

Dependability
The App needs an internet connection to be able to download a map, so that you can enter the address.

Waykup is an iPhone App which works in 1x and 2x modes on an iPad.

Security
There are no apparent issues as this is a standalone App.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Good for train and bus travellers.
