Ratings and Reviews
One of the best, but could be a little better
Very good, information is as accurate as you can get, probably one of the better canal apps I’ve used, however…
It would be nice to be able to tap two or more points along a route and get more information, like distance, locks etc, rather then needing to go through the “canal” menu, which limits you to a single canal - we transitioned through several canals on our journey and was just cumbersome to use.
It would also be nice to be able to search the canal list, for specific locks or bridges, in order to make it quicker and easier to use, but see my previous point.
It’d also be nice to see some kind of route planning option (I think I just heard a developer have a heart attack 😂)
I found the CRT notices a little difficult to use, been our first trip, it wasn’t as useful as I think it could be. Don’t know if there’s a way to filter by current location or manually somehow. There was a incident along our route, but I couldn’t give it listed.
Maybe provide a means to show notices on the map as well 🤷♂️
Again, this is one of better canal apps I’ve used, I’d generally recommend it to others, but with just a little more focus on the UX and making some of the information more readily available on the map would just elevate to the next level. The list information is still important, just the map is more likely going to provide an initial visualisation to the user.
Developer Response ,
Many thanks for taking the time to review the App. There is already a route planner included option fully enabled in the 'Pro' version. There you can show a planned route across several canals and it will tell you how many locks, moveable bridges and canal miles (along with an estimated time). The CRT notices are plotted on the Map as an overlay (select top right (...) menu to select lots of additional information plotted on the Map. The CRT notices can be searched which will filter down to your required location. Searching the canal list for specific locations is a great suggestion and I will pass that one across to our development team. Meanwhile we hope you are enjoying the App ;)
