### 5/5 — Great app to get around town

*2017-05-01*

I use this app whenever I am in Tampere. Really has made getting around the city easy. I am not sure how it could be better.

### 5/5 — Problem

*2017-03-11*

Hello! 
The Commuter app seems to have some problem in Lappeenranta, Finland. Anytime I'm trying to search for route it says "search route failed" even for my regular seaches that I did before. My friends have the same problem. Please solve it! 
Thank you a lot

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.1 — 2018-01-30

Apple on päivittänyt tämän apin näyttämään Apple Watch ‑apin kuvakkeen.

- iPhone X optimization
- Walking routes to selected stops and places.
- 5min walking radius marker
- Full line routes in detail route view in case you decide to take off at the next stop.

### 5.2.4 — 2017-06-30

- Support for new digitransit API
- Support for whole finland.

### 5.2.3 — 2017-03-21

Fixed a bug that departure and arrival times were not shown sometimes.

### 5.2.2 — 2017-03-16

Unfortunately Commuter is not anymore functional in areas of Finland other that the Helsinki and Tampere regions because the MATKA.fi API is taken down. This version merely added proper error handling for failures in areas other that Helsinki and Tampere.

### 5.2.1 — 2016-09-27

- Fixed a bug where you are asked permission for contacts repeatedly.

** Meanwhile in the previous version not too long ago**

tl;dr: The new commuter is truly awesome!

◎ Commuter had been available only in Helsinki and Tampere until now. As a result, there was a great economic boom in those regions, no one was ever late to work, no single incident of someone missing because they took the wrong bus and no one was found frozen at the bus stop waiting for a bus that never came. So we thought everyone in Finland deserves this and went back to our coding robots - and they delivered. Now Commuter works all over Finland. Be warned though. It is highly efficient and does whatever it takes to get you to work on time. WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!

◎ Fully redesigned Departures widget for iOS 10. You can even 3D touch the app icon on your home screen and get departures from your favourite stop. It is really magical!

◎ Search for addresses right from your contacts. Bookmarking addresses of all your friends in the app is so old school just like the 3.5mm headphone jack. Speaking of headphone jacks, Commuter now fully supports the iPhone without the headphone jack. It is also 40% more colorful and 10x faster than the previous version. It is truly amazing! The new version may even do 10 billion calculations per second - I think. Don't take my word on that though since there was no way I could have tested it.

And of course commuter is Mercury-free, BFR-free, PVC-free, Beryllium-free and highly recyclable.

So you might ask why we do all these cool stuff and the app is still free. The reason is one word - COURAGE. If you feel courageous too, give the app 5 stars and tell us how you like your commuter with a review. And if you feel even more courageous, do it now before you even open the app.
