What's New in Nearest Tube

2.4

March 5, 2019

Fixes issue with slower to activate location/compass on older devices.

User reviews

Nice use of AR

Awesome way to find my nearest underground station without having to pull out a map and try to orient myself.

Requirements not complete

The requirements sections states 'Compatible with iPhone'. However, you have to read the entire description to find that it's only compatible with iPhone 3GS. When I ran it, I got a white screen statting that this app only works with devices that have a camera and a compass. The idea of overlays sounds neat. I was hoping to give it a try.
