I use Radar every day, have for over two years, and I can’t say enough about how it fills a real gap in the information I need to plan my day. However, there are four functions I wish it had:
- The ability to pin, say, three favourite routes to the lower header where the “Welcome to Radar” text currently is (saving a click and a search through the bookmarks list, which does not differentiate between routes & stops)
- A map overlay of the route that a user has selected (preferably something like a similarly dual-coloured line for the N/W & S/E routes like the icons already show, but static)
- Selection of multiple routes at a time to surface the interchanges that both service, if any (although I can guess a few reasons why this hasn’t been implemented)
- A surfaced option for the zoom level setting when a user clicks the current location button (I have never once clicked that button to see where I am and not immediately zoomed out to see more context & incoming transit vehicle icons, which changes the interaction from a one-handed click to a two-handed pinch; my guess is that the default was selected as a trade-off for screen sizes and resolution, but that could easily be a choice that’s given to users)
It doesn’t look like there’s a GitHub page for the app, otherwise I would have made these changes for myself & submitted a PR. Nonetheless, the app is immensely valuable to myself and I’m sure thousands of other people, and I’m very grateful that the dev keeps it updated for new versions!
