Whatever will be, will be..

Well.. Since you folks are really into changes these days, I’ll provide you with a little sneak-preview of what’s coming in the v0.1.0 - Annapurna release.

 

First off: Language support. GottaGo will be available in english, german, french and italian. And as you see: A totally new UI. (The green disappeared! ;))

 

 

Then we have had one request to include Cabs.. Well, since I don’t want to waste my time on cars, I asked the guys over at local to help me a bit here. Thanks to the help of Tobias Ebnöther and Joel Bez of the local.ch team at Liip, this works like a charm.

 

 

And last but certainly not least, we have autocompletion. That’s the reason why the UI changed so much..

 
These are just the most significant changes. There are way more changes that you will notice. (Like track number.. But there will be _no_ track number for Zurich HB since this information is not available to me. (Try it on sbb.ch).

However, I cannot tell you about the exact release date. I’m having some exams the next two weeks, so I won’t have time to work a lot on this, but since I canceled release 0.0.2 (Dhaulagiri), this one might come around that time..

I want to thank you all out there for giving me many flowers and a few complaints. Makes working on this a little easier :)

The last few days, I’ve been browsing through the AppStore and I think it’s pretty cool, that 2 of the top 3 apps are not games in Switzerland. And as of the time of writing, neither is the number 1 app. In a lot of other AppStores, the games lead the rankings :) This might also change in the swiss AppStore in a few hours, but it’s cool that it takes a while..

GottaGo is quite useful so far and I highly appreciate it (especially because it’s free). Here’s another wishlist in case you get bored one day:
- also show number of changes* in the “closest” summary
- show duration and number of changes on the next screen where one can choose the departure time
- add a button to see later connections (maybe I’ll take another beer if there’s a better connection later on)

* The number of changes is a good indicator to see whether the suggested connection is reasonable since the SBB timetable does not always return the best results.
