Must Have Apps for Commuters

No one looks forward to their daily commute, but the good news is that your phone is here to help with some brilliant apps designed to make everything from catching your train to entertaining yourself so much easier.

Below are five must-have apps for commuters:

Citymapper (iOS, Android)

Citymapper is a popular alternative to Google maps for those commuting on public transport and for a very good reason as Citymapper will work out the quickest way to complete your joinery complying data from a local train, bus companies plus other modes of transport in your local area. Citymapper combines everything you need into one map, with line statuses and real-time disruption alerts, meaning that if your train is cancelled at the last minute you will know straight away. Another extremely useful feature is Uber integration making it easier than ever to order an Uber on those days that you just need to get home.

Moovit (iOS, Android)

Moovit is your personal assistant when it comes to navigating your way around on public transport, simply put in your starting destination and where you need to go and all of the rest is done for you, giving you the quickest and cheapest route. A nice feature about Moovit is that every mode of transport is considered including bike shares and taxis, giving you peace of mind that there definitely isn’t an easier way to complete your journey that has been ignored. Moovit will guide you every step of your journey even giving you a warning when your stop is approaching so that you can sit back and relax without the stress of missing your stop.

Zip – Zap (iOS, Android)

Zip-Zap is a fun, quick and addictive game perfect for making your commute fly by. Each level contains a new puzzle that will test your patience and mechanical skills, the only rules are touch to zip and release to zap making it super quick to get the hang of even when standing crammed onto a train. As you progress through each level you will encounter new challenges that you will find yourself immersed in as your train rushes to your final stop. Zip-Zap is perfect for commuters as it is quick to get into and provides just the right level of challenge that you can solve a puzzle in just one train journey but still find yourself lost in each puzzle.

National Rail (iOS, Android)

For those commuting on trains in the UK the National Rail app is a must have, giving you up-to-date departure times and helping you to plan the most efficient route. The app has even been known to show train delays before the boards at the station, allowing you to adapt your journey quickly and easily. It is also a useful app when planning your journey ahead of time, as you can set your departure date in the future and check out the different routes available, you can even buy your ticket so there’s one less thing to think about at the station. There is also a section for those traveling in London showing you the current statues of each Tube line, so that you can plan your journey accordingly and not find yourself wasting valuable time that could be spent at home.

Quartz (iOS, Android)

Quartz is a news app designed especially with commuters in mind, with each report only taking a few minutes to read or watch perfect for when you’re standing on a train or even when waiting in a line. News reports are presented to you in ways that are quick to absorb including photos, GIFs and even 3D objects that you can view using augmented reality. Easily customize your news experience so that you are only shown the topics that interest you and set up notifications for top stories so that you never miss an update.

Discovering mobile gaming late

I deliberately excluded myself from the mobile gaming explosion for many years. Growing up with all the Nintendo consoles - starting with Nintendo 64, Gameboy Color and then later Playstation and PC trained me to view games under a certain lens. Deep, immersive, and needing many hours at a time. I assumed that mobile games were too shallow to fulfill my gaming craving and did not make the effort to keep up with the scene. It felt too far away from what I loved about video games.

However, that is changing.

Fast forward to 2016, when 2 key things happened:

1) I bought a decent smart phone (One Plus 3) and an IPad Pro. 2) I started building games in LOVE2D.

1) meant that I had good hardware and access to both the Play Store and the App Store. Having the platforms made all the difference as I knew I would be able to access both tablet and phone experience. (I'll confess that I was pretty late to the whole high end smart phone thing as I spent most time on my computer).

2) meant that I began to have much greater appreciation of simple games. Because it's so hard to make a game, right? And having that new found understanding made me want to try out more mobile games. I could look at them and imagine what it might be like to program them. (AAA titles are too daunting to play that exercise with).

I've been doing the obvious: checking out what's on the front page of the stores and download whatever is free to learn from. This is mostly on Android - although I've done a bit on iOS as well. It's been interesting. There seems to be an abundance of 3 in a row puzzle games paired with an Overworld that lets you overview your progress. And of course - make in app purchases or open treasure chests to watch ads. If it isn't a Candy Crush Clone then Clash of Clans inspired. Or a simple of effective physics based game or an on rails runner.

In fact, there is a fair bit of variety. Due to the sheer volume I'm know there's so much I still haven't tried or heard of. It feels like it's not so easy to discover the gems just by browsing the top plays list.

In the past months of exploring the scene, here are a few of the games that have been the most memorable.

Evolution Planet - by Pyro Mobile

This game takes a slightly different spin to the classic 3 in a row puzzle games. On completing a 3 in a row, the creatures merge together and evolve into new ones that can also be lined up in a row. The sound effects, pacing and variety in the level design definitely stands out as high quality amongst the over saturated genre. There's a good range of activities, from evolving a certain number of a species, to boss fights, and star challenges.

Orbit - by Highkey Games

Orbit is a real gem, that I was lucky enough to spot on the front page of the Play Store. It is a simple and beautiful simulation of planets orbiting blackholes. The player controls launching planets into a trajectory and the goal is to get a certain number into a type of orbit. It's a very soothing game which made me remember my love of Mechanics in school. And it even has classical music in the background. Highly recommended.

Kingdom Rush - by Ironhide Game Studio

I forgot how much I enjoyed tower defense games. When I downloaded this I was surprised at how addictive it was. It follows the usual things players would expect: spend gold to buy archers, soldiers and mages to defend against waves of enemies. It's very polished and has great sound and visuals. It also has a variety of difficulties which makes it more interesting if you want to really test yourself.

I have barely scratched the surface of mobile gaming but these are my first impressions and experiences now. I am also interested to look more deeply at games by Nintendo and Square Enix that are for mobile.

Overall I would say that mobile games still feel like how magazines are to chapter books. Shallower, but there are certainly some high quality ones out there. But the fact that they are easier to get into and pick up and play can only mean that there is more time overall to spend gaming.

I'm glad I've now been dedicating time to mobile games.
