Middly: Meet In The Middle

Middly: Meet in the Middle is a free iPhone app that finds fair places to meet in London: areas you can both reach in the same time on public transport, and the pubs, cafés and restaurants in them. Most "meet halfway" apps pick the midpoint on a map. In London that point can be in the Thames, nowhere near a station, or 15 minutes away for one of you and 50 for the other. Middly works out where you can both get to in the same time by tube, bus and train, so neither of you is stuck with the long trip. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add where you're both starting from: a station, an address or your current location. 2. Choose the kind of place: a pub, a café, somewhere to eat or a park. 3. Leave now, or pick a time to leave at or arrive by. 4. Middly shows the areas you can both reach in the same time, with both of your journeys drawn on the map. 5. Pick an area to see the places in it, and check how long each of you will take to get there.
