I use the Android version of Embark. Oh dear. Time to find a new app (that doesn't repeatedly crash, hopefully)

An interesting purchase- Embark doesn't have any valuable data, or user details, etc. I can only assume Apple bought them because they have great UI/design instincts, and might be able to help rescue Apple Maps.

Kudos to them for achieving their goal - giving away an ad-free transit planning app could only have one aim, really.

Can you try Transit Times? Office friend of mine makes that and works very hard on it.

They make great apps. I don't know if it got implemented, but I heard rumors they were working on some really cutting edge routing tech too.
