[APP] TubeRun: the all-inclusive London transport app

Hi all,

I just finished writing the first version of TubeRun for Android. TubeRun is a London transport app that aims to present the most important data that TfL offers in a single app. My motivation for writing it was the low quality of similar apps found in the market. Typically they offer only a single important feature (eg a journey planner, a good map, bus departures) but they omit the others forcing you to install multiple apps which seldom work in a straightforward manner. In TubeRun, expect to find everything that matters so that you won't have to have 4 different similar apps installed. Features include:

-A Journey Planner that uses the TfL API for up-to-date travel plans
-Live Bus, Underground and DLR Departures
-Nearby Tube and Cycle Hire stations, with live bike/dock availability data
-Oyster Balance
-Underground Refund Claims
-The real Tube Map
-Favorites
-Current and Weekend Status Updates
-Fast ICS-inspired interface that doesn't rediscover the wheel

I plan to add more features, and I am posting this to request your feedback on what I should add/improve next. In the next version I plan to improve the Nearby section, adding the presentation of nearby stations on the map plus bus lines.

TubeRun is by no means perfect, however I think that it works really well already. Please, let me know your thoughts on it so that I am able to effectively improve it

PS. If you like it don't forget to rate it ;-)
